Bathroom

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • The toilet and shower were in a separate room beside the sink. Having this was great because 1 person could use the toilet or shower while another got ready in the sink area next door. 12
  • Next to the sink were wall-mounted Zero% amenities that were both eco-friendly and effective. 12

Food

  • I didn't notice anything broken or worn down; everything was immaculate, and we had no issues getting what we needed, whether it was extra bedding or breakfast each morning. 12
  • This was also convenient for the kids to self-serve. These 3 hot dishes featured an egg, potato, and breakfast meat every morning. These were always hot and refilled quickly. I liked what we got each day, especially the cheesy omelets and potatoes with peppers and onions. 12

  • Located just a short 10-minute drive from Denver International Airport, this hotel is perfectly positioned for travelers who need quick access to the terminal for an early flight or those who want to avoid the chaos of the airport while still being close to the action. 100:15
  • 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. 4

  • When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find the room was very large, with a desk and entertainment center dividing the bedroom area from the living room. 12
  • A desk and entertainment center combo at the foot of the bed separated the bedroom area from the living room. This separation was excellent for getting our kids to sleep before we were ready to sleep. 12

  • As soon as we checked in, the front desk attendant asked how many people we had and if we needed toothbrushes and water bottles. It was honestly such a refreshing and nice experience. 13
  • We received excellent hands-on service from the front desk that explained everything we needed to know - and sent us along with a nicely printed note in case we forgot. 12

Bed & Sleep

  • And at just about $150 per night with no parking or additional fees other than taxes, it was an exceptional value for a family of 5. 12

Service12 mentions · 1 filmed
  • As soon as we checked in, the front desk attendant asked how many people we had and if we needed toothbrushes and water bottles. It was honestly such a refreshing and nice experience. 13
  • Every stay is designed to be seamless, supported by a friendly staff dedicated to making your visit as smooth as possible. 10
  • 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). 4
  • We received excellent hands-on service from the front desk that explained everything we needed to know - and sent us along with a nicely printed note in case we forgot. 12
  • The mirror was plenty large, and the towel rack was full. 12
  • The staff is professional, friendly, and focused on ensuring your stay is smooth from the moment you walk through the doors. On camera71:43
  • In one of the outlets was a nightlight, which was a nice touch. 12
  • I stayed at the homewood when I got married across the street and it was very nice and clean and great staff. 4
  • I was pleasantly surprised by the size and features of our room, and the service was excellent. 12
  • Front desk: since sometimes I book through capitol one it doesn't always syncs with the app. Every time I've called to get it synched, everyone has been extremely pleasant. 8
  • Delivery of extra bedding was prompt and courteous. 12
  • 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. 4
Value5 mentions · 1 filmed
  • We felt right at home in this hotel, with warm welcomes from staff, always available coffee and hot chocolate, and a comfortable room with a layout that worked well for our family - all at a great nightly rate. 12
  • And at just about $150 per night with no parking or additional fees other than taxes, it was an exceptional value for a family of 5. 12
  • For families traveling on a budget, this hotel offers incredible value. Children between the ages of 1 and 17 can stay for free, making it a much more affordable choice for family vacations or business trips where you're traveling with your loved ones. On camera100:53
  • I'll still shop around next time we visit Denver, but I wouldn't be surprised to find us back at this hotel, knowing we'll get a spacious room, good breakfast, and great service for a low price. 12
  • Even paying full price with no rebate, Hampton Inn and Suites Aurora South Denver was a great value. 12
Room13 mentions
  • It's almost like the desk is too large for the space and it was brought in just to fill things up. Also, the TV isn't facing anything you can actually sit or lay in comfortably to use it. 8
  • At the center of the room was an entertainment center and desk combo. It featured storage on both sides underneath the TV, a comfy desk chair, and a lamp with an outlet. 12
  • That turned out to be a wise choice as it was the largest room I saw available online, and we loved the layout; while a 2 queen room looked like a pretty standard hotel room, we probably would have felt a little cramped in. 12
  • It also had laundry detergent for use in the guest laundry room. We could have used the microwave, plates, napkins, and utensils in this room, but our suite featured a microwave - a pleasant surprise. 12
  • The bathroom closet had a bag for extra sheets and blankets but only had a blanket. We asked the front desk for extra sheets and a pillow, and they were delivered promptly. 12
  • The room lacked a traditional dresser, but these shelves with a door were good for storage. 12
  • Overall, the size is a huge pro but the overall layout of that room strikes me as... odd. 8
  • When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find the room was very large, with a desk and entertainment center dividing the bedroom area from the living room. 12
  • odd. It's almost like the desk is too large for the space and it was brought in just to fill things up. 8
  • Jimger_1983 • 1 taon ang nakalipas That's a huge room for a Hampton. That's a huge room for a Hampton. Only one I've seen comparable is downtown Portsmouth, NH. Which is the nicest Hampton I've seen. 8
  • I was pleasantly surprised by the size and features of our room, and the service was excellent. 12

  • 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. 4
  • Its prime location near Denver International Airport makes it an ideal choice for anyone trying to avoid the hassle of long commutes, whether you're catching an early morning flight or arriving late at night. On camera70:20
  • The Brown Palace. Take the light rail. [na-delete] • 3 taon ang nakalipas I agree with this! 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. 4
  • 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. 4
  • The hotel location on the south side of Denver was good for visiting the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. 12
  • Located just a short 10-minute drive from Denver International Airport, this hotel is perfectly positioned for travelers who need quick access to the terminal for an early flight or those who want to avoid the chaos of the airport while still being close to the action. On camera100:15
  • The location offered a good balance of proximity to the airport and other areas we wanted to visit. 12
  • The Westin Denver International Airport Hotel is onsite at the Denver airport. It is easily accessible via the train station on the A line in Denver. 14
  • 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. 4
  • The Curtis is definitely a cute, fun place and good location. 4
  • 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. 4
  • All things considered, Hampton Inn and Suites Aurora South Denver offered a good balance of location convenience for the airport and the places we wanted to visit since our plans sprawled from Rocky Mountain National Park northwest of Denver to Colorado Springs south of the city. 12
  • 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. 4

  • Breakfast is at 6am and free (most nearby don't start till 630 or charge). 8
  • to 10 a.m. It was a relatively standard free hotel breakfast, though I liked that the hot egg dishes often featured omelets rather than plain scrambled eggs like we frequently see. 12
  • Another food and beverage feature I appreciated was the always-available coffee and hot water station. It was between the front desk and elevators, so we could grab a cup of coffee whether we were coming or going. 12
  • To help you get your day started right, the hotel also provides breakfast, saving you the time and extra expense of searching for a meal before heading out the door. On camera71:16

  • Next to the sink were wall-mounted Zero% amenities that were both eco-friendly and effective. 12
  • I liked that the shower door opened near the faucet so we could turn on the water to warm it up before entering the shower. The water always got warm quickly. 12
  • I utterly despise the sliding barn door for the bathroom trend. 8
  • The bathroom was roomy, and I loved that it had 2 rooms with a door in between - perfect for multiple family members getting ready at the same time. 12
  • The hotel wasn't anything great and special aesthetically, especially the bathroom, but it was clean and comfortable, had a nice, spacious lobby, and I'm happy we chose this one. 13
Bed & Sleep2 mentions
