Best for
This hotel suits culture-focused travelers and museum-hoppers, given its proximity to the Denver Art Museum, Clyfford Still Museum, History Colorado Center, and Colorado State Capitol all within a mile. It also works well for value-conscious travelers and families who want kitchenette rooms, complimentary breakfast, and walkable access to attractions like Elitch Gardens and Meow Wolf's Convergence Station.
Travel tips
Plan to walk to most Golden Triangle Arts District attractions, since the Denver Art Museum, Clyfford Still Museum, and Colorado State Capitol are all under a kilometer away. If you're attending an event at Coors Field or exploring Larimer Square and 16th Street, budget about 15-25 minutes on foot, or use nearby transit options such as Colfax at Auraria Station. Note that valet parking carries a surcharge (guests have reported around $35/night), so factor that into your budget if driving.
What guests say

The complimentary breakfast buffet is another recurring positive, with mentions of good variety, coffee, and orange juice, and several reviewers cite strong value for the price.

However, a minority of reviewers described the rooms, service, and food as underwhelming, and some families were disappointed by the lack of a pool.
