Guests consistently praise the comfortable beds and the convenience of an onsite restaurant and bar for morning breakfast.

Score breakdown
How the 84/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
90- “Then, the bathroom had the biggest hodgepodge of toiletries I've seen. There was shampoo, conditioner and shaving cream by Sheraton's signature Le Grand Bain, another bottle of shampoo from BeeKind, Pure by Gloss body lotion and a Gilchrist & Soames-branded bar of soap.” 15
Food
90- “Starting your morning with a delicious breakfast here is the best way to fuel up before you head out to see the mountains or tackle your work day.” 13
- “I loved that the menu featured many local ingredients, including the quinoa in my bowl, which was organically grown by a farm in the San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado.” 15
Location
95Noise
86Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.
Room
85- “I was upgraded to a one-bedroom executive corner suite, but the decor was similar to the standard rooms. Like the lobby, it was bright and inviting with modern finishes and warm tones. While not as vibrant as some of Marriott's newer brands, the room had a lot more color than the bleak, beige, cookie-cutter Sheratons I was accustomed to.” 15
- “Room was small but well appointed.” 12
Service
87- “Mag-reply I-share Iba pang mga reply Luv2Travel_2 • 4 taon ang nakalipas Brown Palace an option? Just spent a week here absolutely fantastic staff” 12
- “The moment you walk in, you can feel that perfect blend of modern comfort and that warm, welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home immediately.” 130:35
Bed & Sleep
87- “The bedroom scored on more than just looks. The signature Sheraton Sleep Experience bed was the perfect balance of plush and supportive.” 15
Value
82- “His work booked it both times so I can't confirm pricing, but everything was walkable. It wasn't the best Marriott property, but I felt safe and the rooms were clean.” 12
- “brezofleur • 4 taon ang nakalipas I've stayed at the Courtyard Denver Downtown a couple of times and it was convenient for my husband and I. His work booked it both times so I can't confirm pricing, but everything was walkable.” 12

- “brezofleur • 4 taon ang nakalipas I've stayed at the Courtyard Denver Downtown a couple of times and it was convenient for my husband and I. His work booked it both times so I can't confirm pricing, but everything was walkable.” 12
- “Your recommended Hilton Garden Inn Denver Union Station hotel is now very expensive at $265 removed link” 11
- “Been to brown, it was cool but this time around way too expensive for my dates like over 600 a night with taxes” 12
- “I've stayed at the Courtyard Denver Downtown a couple of times and it was convenient for my husband and I. His work booked it both times so I can't confirm pricing, but everything was walkable.” 12

- “From the relaxed 11:00 a.m. check-out to the incredible location, it really is the perfect home base for your Denver adventure.” On camera131:45
- “The Courtyard Denver Downtown offers top-of-the-line services, allowing guests to make the most out of their stay in the Mile High City.” 17
- “In general, Central Park is not my first recommendation if it is your first time in Denver. It's generally more residential and, though there are some commuter rail connections, overall it's an area where you really should only stay if you plan to have a car. It is most definitely not walkable to the main attractions of Denver (unlike CBD or the LoDo / Union Station area).” 11
- “But if you're coming to the Park Meadows Mall, the location is great. Or if you have a doctor appointment nearby, it's good for that.” On camera81:22
- “It's also conveniently situated within walking distance from Coors Field, Ball Arena, Larimer Square, and only four blocks away from the Colorado Convention Center.” 17
- “Located on 16th Street Mall, this hotel features the Rialto Cafe and fitness equipment. Rooms include glass showers and high ceilings. Best for downtown explorers, less so for anyone requiring daily housekeeping.” 1
- “City view rooms are much brighter than atrium-facing ones.” 1
- “There was shampoo, conditioner and shaving cream by Sheraton's signature Le Grand Bain, another bottle of shampoo from BeeKind, Pure by Gloss body lotion and a Gilchrist & Soames-branded bar of soap. Although Nichols believed it was a fluke, there was also no safe in my room.” 15
- “The room was pretty standard and didn't have a dresser? The elevators took forever as well.” 12
- “The Le Meridian was pretty cool, great lobby and rooftop bar was fantastic. Room was small but well appointed.” 12
- “I was upgraded to a one-bedroom executive corner suite, but the decor was similar to the standard rooms. Like the lobby, it was bright and inviting with modern finishes and warm tones. While not as vibrant as some of Marriott's newer brands, the room had a lot more color than the bleak, beige, cookie-cutter Sheratons I was accustomed to.” 15
- “Room was small but well appointed.” 12
- “My only complaint was that the living room lamp wasn't bright enough to light up the entire room at night. Sheraton did promise "well-lit" rooms with the refresh so hopefully this was an isolated issue with this suite type.” 15
- “Brown Palace needs a room overhaul.” 12
- “It wasn't the best Marriott property, but I felt safe and the rooms were clean. There's a restaurant/bar onsite which was a plus.” 12
- “I loved that the menu featured many local ingredients, including the quinoa in my bowl, which was organically grown by a farm in the San Luis Valley in south-central Colorado.” 15
- “Starting your morning with a delicious breakfast here is the best way to fuel up before you head out to see the mountains or tackle your work day.” 13
- “For lunch one day, I ordered the Power Hour bowl ($18), which was fresh and light, consisting of spinach, kale, quinoa, blueberries, pistachios, tomatoes and avocado (fresh this time!).” 15
- “And, of course, we have to talk about the food. You can kickstart your morning with a delicious breakfast right on site, giving you all the energy you need to explore the vibrant Tech Center area or head out into the beautiful Colorado mountains.” On camera101:51
- “Another stay was at a Non Marriott property and that was the Curtis. Fun funky concept hotel, my friend had her purse stolen while in a confrence area and the staff wasn't really hustling to look at cameras.” 12
- “The moment you walk in, you can feel that perfect blend of modern comfort and that warm, welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home immediately.” On camera130:35
- “I'm the least snobby person about minor stuff, but gee I really want to sit in this chair to do my work. Anyhoo, I put a towel over it, but how does anyone leave this room and not make note of crap like this.” 7
- “Mag-reply I-share Iba pang mga reply Luv2Travel_2 • 4 taon ang nakalipas Brown Palace an option? Just spent a week here absolutely fantastic staff” 12
