Hampton Inn & Suites Denver/Airport-Gateway Park
An airport stay offering quiet rooms, practical split bathrooms, and a free hot breakfast starting at 6 a.m.
The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
The hotel serves airport travelers well with sound-insulated rooms, comfortable bedding, and functional split bathrooms that separate the sink from the shower. Mornings include a reliable free breakfast with hot eggs, potatoes, and meats starting early for flight catchers. However, cleanliness and service consistency are real drawbacks, with guests occasionally arriving to unmade beds, stained chairs, and unaddressed housekeeping requests. 413

- “The Marriott Gateway Park isn't remarkable but it is $200 so I do save a lot on the trip cost.” 3
- “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.” 13
- “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.” 13
- “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.” 13
- “Even paying full price with no rebate, Hampton Inn and Suites Aurora South Denver was a great value.” 13
- “Room 216 was a huge studio suite with a full kitchen and a living area.” 12
- “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.” 13
- “I'm going to take one more scan out here. These windows are just fantastic. Corner room is really great.” On camera67:20
- “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.” 13

- “I was pleasantly surprised by the size and features of our room, and the service was excellent.” 13
- “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.” 13
- “The second room was a little better, but still substandard: we found soiled socks from a previous occupant in the bathroom, for example.” 4
- “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.” 13
- “odd. It's almost like the desk is too large for the space and it was brought in just to fill things up.” 15
- “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.” 13
- “Just start in the bathroom because it's there. We don't usually do that, but this is a corner room runway view. Look at that. I mean, the sun is bright. I'm not sure if you can see how incredible that view is.” On camera60:21
- “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.” 15
- “The room we received had not been turned over: the bed was unmade, it smelled bad and drapes and an armchair were soiled.” 4
- “Overall, the size is a huge pro but the overall layout of that room strikes me as... odd. It's almost like the desk is too large for the space and it was brought in just to fill things up.” 15
- “Overall, the size is a huge pro but the overall layout of that room strikes me as... odd.” 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
- “All have the same simple yet attractive decor with white bedding and shades of brown and tan on carpeted floors, walls, drapes, and generous upholstered chairs.” 1
- “The room lacked a traditional dresser, but these shelves with a door were good for storage.” 13
- “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.” 13
- “Hotel: Fairly modern. Photo is from my room last night. Could it be modernized, always, but it works. I've always been able to get the AC down to 65 to sleep in.” 15
- “To start your morning right, we offer a delicious breakfast to fuel your adventures.” On camera111:57

- “Breakfast is at 6am and free (most nearby don't start till 630 or charge).” 15

- “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.” 13
- “A delicious buffet breakfast is offered to all guests daily.” 12
- “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.” 13
- “I frequent Denver weekly and I always enjoy my stays at The Hampton in Gateway Park. It's like 5 minutes further from where you're staying and there are more food options within that site.” 15
- “The shower head had multiple adjustments available so we could pick the flow we wanted.” 13
- “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.” 13
- “The closet was on the wall opposite the sink, which was nice to have in the bathroom. We used this to store coats and extra bags out of the way.” 13
- “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.” 13
- “Next to the sink were wall-mounted Zero% amenities that were both eco-friendly and effective.” 13

- “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.” 13
- “I stayed there in June 2024 no problems great shuttle service sorry you had problems with your stay” 4
- “So we decided to check out and booked a different hotel. However, the front desk has now decided I'm "disrespectful" (But giving us a dirty room and refusing to clean it I guess is totally respectful.) and refuses to engage with me and won't check us out.” 4
- “To start your morning right, we offer a delicious breakfast to fuel your adventures. We want your stay to be as seamless as possible, which is why we offer a convenient checkout time until 11:00 a.m. Giving you ample time to pack up and prepare for your onward journey.” 11

- “The front desk manager is so unhinged as to threaten to call the police and kick us out of the hotel.” 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, despite the front desk placard that says, "If you're not satisfied with your stay, let us know and we'll MAKE IT RIGHT.")” 4
- “I was pleasantly surprised by the size and features of our room, and the service was excellent.” 13
- “Delivery of extra bedding was prompt and courteous.” 13
- “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.” 15
- “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
- “Yeah, kitchen staff were great as well. It sucks to do a good job and have it not matter because of bad management.” 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
- “The mirror was plenty large, and the towel rack was full.” 13
- “From the moment you step through our doors, you'll be greeted by a warm and friendly staff dedicated to ensuring your stay is nothing short of pleasant.” 11
- “The service was excellent in the breakfast room. I never saw anything get low on supplies, though my kids tried their absolute best to deplete the yogurt and cereal each morning.” 13
- “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
- “The king-size bed had a wood and leather headboard, all-white sheets, and plenty of pillows. We slept great here.” 13
- “So, they're really into your health and well-being and your getting a good night's sleep. I give the bed five pearls. Oh, without a doubt. I I agree there. Five pearls. That that was incredible.” On camera66:00
