Location
The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Union Station's train services, just 3 minutes on foot from the 16th Street Mall, and roughly a mile from the Pepsi Center arena. This puts guests within easy reach of downtown Denver's shopping, dining, and transit hubs, as well as major event venues.
Best for
This hotel suits business travelers and event-goers thanks to its location inside the Tabor Center complex, proximity to Union Station transit and the 16th Street Mall, and its rooftop pool, bars, and dual dining options for entertaining or unwinding after meetings. It also appeals to leisure travelers wanting a centrally located, upscale base for exploring LoDo, downtown shopping, and nearby arena events at the Pepsi Center.
Travel tips
Plan to walk to major downtown attractions -- the 16th Street Mall is just 3 minutes away and Union Station is a 10-minute walk, making car-free exploring easy. If attending an event at the Pepsi Center, budget time for the roughly one-mile walk or arrange transport. Note that valet parking carries a surcharge, and some guests have reported confusion around daily resort/destination charges, so it's worth reviewing your folio and any add-on fees at check-in.
What guests say
Many guests highlight the hotel's central LoDo location, attentive staff, quality food and drinks, and comfortable rooms, with some specifically praising spacious bathrooms and smooth, quick check-in and valet service. However, a recurring negative theme involves confusion and frustration over mandatory daily resort/destination fees, with guests describing inconsistent credits and unclear policies around their use. Another serious complaint centers on the handling of a service animal situation, where guests felt policies weren't clearly communicated and follow-up communication from staff felt unprofessional. A few reviewers also mentioned booking issues, such as unexpected cancellations when reserving through third-party sites.
