This location was perfect for us :) This hotel is across the street from the Denver Mint, walking distance to the State Capitol building, a 5 minute walk to the free Mall Ride bus that takes you all over downtown and up to Union Station. The building feels safe, you use your room key for everything. Free breakfast in the morning. They had biscuits & gravy, eggs, eggs, a waffle maker, etc. You serve yourself, there are plenty of tables to sit at. There is a large designated smoking area outside. It is gated (secure), available to use all the time. You only need a room key to get back in. Me & husband spent quite some time there. You can see the Denver Mint building from the smoking area. It was one of our favorite areas. Staff was very friendly. There is an indoor heated pool & a hot tub in the basement open 24 hours now. I feel like the pool area needed a little love. The pool and spa look dirty to me. My husband said it was just stained because it was old, but .. I wasn't convinced. I was not crazy about the pool. We didn't bring a car, so I'm not sure how the parking situation is. I do wish there was a convenience store or a market nearby. Overall, we loved this place and 100% plan to stay here again.
