8.6/10 Excellent! (1,092 reviews)

Worlds MOST Okayest hotel. Only 4 Stars because the valet parking was SIXTY-FIVE-FREAKING BUCKS on a monday night. I'm not from Denver. I had an infant with me with an ear infection who was up WAY past her bed time because she was having a DR appt in the morning. Im not gonna wander up and down Colfax at 11pm looking for somewhere to park. Yall dont need to charge that much for the valet. The room was great though.

8/10 Very Good! (1,045 reviews)

The room I stayed in had a faucet that was very loose. When turning the water on or off, it felt like it would break loose. One staff member at the front desk was yawning and seemed brusque in answering questions. She did not have a name tag.
