Suites deliver separate living areas, comfortable king beds, and expansive views stretching to the Rockies, alongside free cooked-to-order breakfasts and evening receptions.

Score breakdown
How the 88/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.
Bathroom
91- “and then in here we do have nicely pointed bathroom with soap and then a shower curtain shower which I do like when they bow it out there it gives you some more shoulder room in the shower you know it's pretty standard blink mirror here” 51:18
- “The bathroom was small but the shower was good and the hot water and water pressure were excellent.” 15
Food
91- “I love this little area right here because if people are out walking their dogs or if you have your dog with you, they have water out for them and treats. They have some of the best coffee I've ever had. That's what I love about a Hilton.” 92:02
- “The breakfast buffet was large with lots of options and the restaurant staff took great care of our family.” 7
Location
95- “It's an elevated welcome from arrival to complimentary evening reception. This is the perfect perch in the heart of the Mile High, just steps from the city's best sites.” 6
- “Personally, I preferred the Embassy Suites Convention Center location. Nothing overly special about it, but the typical breakfast and happy hour perks are nice, and it is an easy walk to 16th Street and a lot of good dining options. Was also convenient to my usual work destination.” 13
Noise
85- “I recommend picking a room overlooking 10th St or K St. It's not loud - traffic quiets down in the evenings. It will be the best view (your other options are alley view).” 2
- “My room was on the 7th floor right near the elevators. Despite that, I didn't have any trouble with noise - probably because the bedroom is at the back of the room away from the elevator.” 15

- “The room we received had not been turned over: the bed was unmade, it smelled bad and drapes and an armchair were soiled. (The chair had a dark brown stain on the seat.)” 4
- “and then I've got a little tiny refrigerator I might go run some errands looks like someone left something there yikes microwave and then sink and coffee maker” On camera50:55
- “Each suite includes a separate living area with a door separating it from sleeping quarters, and rooms are equipped with large, comfortable beds.” 14
- “The second room was a little better, but still substandard: we found soiled socks from a previous occupant in the bathroom, for example.” 4
- “I booked a 1 King bed room - the bed and pillows were comfortable” 15
- “My king bed suite is a spacious retreat with views that stretch from downtown to the Rockies, a bedroom with a work desk and mini fridge, and a separate living room.” On camera60:06
- “WiFi at the Denver Embassy Suites Downtown was good. Normally I try to do a speed test but I can't seem to find any notes of that. Still, it was easily accessible and fast in my room, the lobby and the conference rooms.” 15
- “The front desk manager is so unhinged as to threaten to call the police and kick us out of the hotel. (She apparently has the authority to remove guests, but not to get a room cleaned.)” 4
- “I stayed at the homewood when I got married across the street and it was very nice and clean and great staff.” 13
- “Had the catalytic converter stolen from my truck within the paid lot at this hotel. Front desk shrugged and said it happened all the time, nothing they could for us at all.” 4
- “I do advise people to stay away from this hotel: whoever is operating it is doing a poor job. And their front desk people (especially the manager) are too unhinged to be in any position that's customer facing, let alone in "hospitality."” 4
- “I'm not usually a Hilton person. I tend to stay at Marriott, but this Hilton feature where I can pick my room is soooo cool.” 2
- “NEVER again. It's seen better days - the bar staff are super friendly though.” 4
- “The front desk manager Kendra comes and offers me supplies so I can "clean it [my]self." (Maybe I'm crazy, but this seems like a pretty wild thing to tell a hotel guest? Is this an Airbnb? They're clearly uninterested in trying to work something out” 4
- “I stayed there in June 2024 no problems great shuttle service sorry you had problems with your stay” 4
- “And their front desk people (especially the manager) are too unhinged to be in any position that's customer facing, let alone in "hospitality."” 4
- “Things I didn't like. $100 per night for the like not a deposit, but what is it called? I can't think of what it what they call it. Incidentals. $100 a night for incidentals. So if you had a budget and you were coming to check in and you expected your room to be $600 you had to give them $1200 at check-in.” 9
- “As I mentioned, the manager's reception was worse than I have seen at other hotels.” 15
- “Thursday, every time we go in and out of the hotel, we check in with the front desk to remind them, they confirm it will be cleaned--it isn't never gets cleaned.” 4
- “I'd recommend the The Slate. It's a converted school and nice property. The rooms are small but new overall the property is top notch.” 13
- “Yeah, kitchen staff were great as well. It sucks to do a good job and have it not matter because of bad management.” 4
- “The staff was friendly and helpful.” 7
- “The only one I might avoid is the Double Tree on Quebec. Not the best area (but that's all relative, it's far from unsafe, just kind of janky).” 13
- “The bathroom was small but the shower was good and the hot water and water pressure were excellent.” 15
- “and then in here we do have nicely pointed bathroom with soap and then a shower curtain shower which I do like when they bow it out there it gives you some more shoulder room in the shower you know it's pretty standard blink mirror here” On camera51:18
- “The hotel is right across the street from the Denver Convention Center and I would say that the area is mildly sketchy. I didn't feel particularly unsafe myself, but you do have to use your key to get into the hotel, and the lobby of the hotel is actually up on the 4th floor of the hotel.” 15
- “I have no idea who decided this would be a good idea, but for some reason Christmas and holiday music was blasted 24/7.” 12
- “I recommend picking a room overlooking 10th St or K St. It's not loud - traffic quiets down in the evenings. It will be the best view (your other options are alley view).” 2
- “My room was on the 7th floor right near the elevators. Despite that, I didn't have any trouble with noise - probably because the bedroom is at the back of the room away from the elevator.” 15
- “Personally, I preferred the Embassy Suites Convention Center location. Nothing overly special about it, but the typical breakfast and happy hour perks are nice, and it is an easy walk to 16th Street and a lot of good dining options. Was also convenient to my usual work destination.” 13
- “Personally, I preferred the Embassy Suites Convention Center location. Nothing overly special about it, but the typical breakfast and happy hour perks are nice, and it is an easy walk to 16th Street and a lot of good dining options.” 13
- “Very close to everything downtown & the property is very good with security and great staff.” 13
- “It's an elevated welcome from arrival to complimentary evening reception. This is the perfect perch in the heart of the Mile High, just steps from the city's best sites.” 6
- “The Curtis is definitely a cute, fun place and good location.” 13
- “Still, it is conveniently located if you are attending a convention. Have you stayed at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center?” 15
- “To add: the Hampton Inn and Suites Denver Airport is a solid choice close to the airport. They do have a 24 hour shuttle and it's a renovated Hampton Inn so the hotel and rooms themselves are nice.” 13
- “I also agree with The Curtis. It's pretty neat with each floor having a theme and the rooms also fitting the theme. I had the superhero floor and it was pretty cool. Great location too even if you don't get a car it's about 3/4 mile walk from Union Station which takes you to/from the airport.” 13
- “Coolest oldest historical hotel downtown but it is NOT a Hilton property. Just have to take the A line downtown and then connect to the free mall ride 16th street bus. Very close to everything downtown & the property is very good with security and great staff.” 13
- “The breakfast buffet was large with lots of options and the restaurant staff took great care of our family.” 7
- “If you do the breakfast buffet, don't miss the avocado toast, smoothie bowl, and pastry station! It's kind of around the corner from the other breakfast items.” 7
- “At the hotel, memorable moments include classic games to borrow, the free cook to order breakfast with a variety of hot dishes, a fully equipped fitness center, a heated indoor pool, and Elements Restaurant offering polished American fair.” On camera60:34

- “Personally, I preferred the Embassy Suites Convention Center location. Nothing overly special about it, but the typical breakfast and happy hour perks are nice, and it is an easy walk to 16th Street and a lot of good dining options.” 13
- “The breakfast at the Embassy Suites Denver Convention Center is above average. There are several hot dishes as well as an omelet chef that will make you an omelet with whatever toppings you want.” 15
- “The only frustration we had during our stay was that the restaurant was closed one night for a private event with no notice given.” 7
- “Okay, so here's the thing. Price. The room was only like $100 a night. It was perfect with that because we were close to everything.” On camera98:04
