This place is awesome. Have stayed twice after long flights. Shuttle service easy and complimentary. The checkin process is very easy. Need a late checkout and they were so easy to work with. The bar is very spacious and clean and offers a variety of very good food. The rooms are super clean.

Sonesta Denver Downtown
The location was excellent and the staff overall were pleasant but the hotel itself left something to be desired. Parking at $55 a night, the AC did nothing to cool the room and there was no microwave or refrigerator in the room.

Hilton Denver City Center
The bathrooms is very European. They are not tall people friendly. Everything was very clean. The windows are on the thinner side letting in a lot of sound pollution in. The staff was super polite and friendly.
