We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff at check-in and check-out were genuinely kind, professional, and efficient making us feel welcome. The housekeeping team was just as friendly and attentive, making sure our room was always fresh and well stocked with plenty of towels and bottled water. We stayed on the 21st floor, which was a fantastic choice for us visiting from Maine. The views were incredible, a perfect mix of the Denver skyline and the beautiful Rocky Mountains in the distance. Waking up to that scenery each morning was a highlight of our trip. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped, including a Keurig for making coffee in-room. One small thing to note: the hotel doesn’t offer complimentary coffee in the lobby. If you’d like coffee downstairs, you’ll need to purchase it, a tall coffee is $5 at the Lockwood restaurant or simply brew your own in the room. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would happily stay here again on our next visit to Denver!

Not the best hotel. Our room would not cool off. Maintenance had to come try to fix the air conditioning and it helped a little but we had the air on 66 the entire time and it was usually in the 70s in the room, in winter. Some of the staff was nice, especially the maintenance and house keeping staff. The worst part, and what made the stay worthy of a bad review was the valet. If a hotel is going to basically require valet, the valet needs to be available 24/7. We had a very early flight to catch and when I asked the front desk I was told no one was available and was handed the keys to my rental. I was given inaccurate directions on where the car was in the parking deck. I spent several minutes, at 3 am, walking up and down the parking deck trying to find our car. I’m assuming the hotel outsources the valet but regardless it is a poor reflection on the hotel. If you are headed to Denver I would suggest a different hotel.

They don't have free breakfast and they have no microwaves in their room. I didn't have a bathtub even though I asked for one. They took my deposit and charged me an extra $100 because my room smells like smoke after coming inside from smoking outside. I never smoked in my room. For how much you paying you could get better somewhere else

Huge thank you to Jonathan at the front desk! He had great customer service and was quick to help me set up an amenity for my mom, even though I called last minute. This was very much appreciated! the rooms here are clean and comfortable, and this hotel is in a great location.
