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
93- “Amenities were equally lackluster. The bathroom provided only a bar of soap, a small bottle of lotion, cotton swabs, and bulk shower dispensers-no bath amenities, no mouthwash.” 8
- “At first glance, the room appeared clean, but dining chairs were stained and covered in crumbs and hair. The bathroom revealed mildew in the shower, hair in the tub, and traces of hair on the countertop.” 8
Food
87- “Breakfast offerings are standard for a lounge but not memorable. If budget allows, the restaurant is the better option.” 8
- “The M Club lounge is spacious and staffed by warm, hospitable employees. However, the evening food spread is minimal: two hot items, some crudités, cookies and not much else. Full plates are not provided, and variety is lacking.” 8
Location
95- “Westin Downtown Denver is a great property, highly recommend. It's a little drive from downtown, but the Woolley's Classic Suites wasn't bad. Their omelettes are actually fantastic and made to order by the same guy every morning.” 5
- “Inspector_1stgrade • 1 buwan ang nakalipas It's a little drive from downtown, but the Woolley's Classic Suites wasn't bad. It's a little drive from downtown, but the Woolley's Classic Suites wasn't bad. Their omelettes are actually fantastic and made to order by the same guy every morning.” 5

91Service
91- “Staff are generally polite, professional and well-meaning, but the hotel suffers from recurring cleanliness lapses, deferred maintenance and a lack of attention to detail.” 8
- “Despite being marketed as a four-star Marriott, the property offers no doorman, no bellman, and no valet service-leaving guests entirely on their own for luggage.” 8
Bed & Sleep
87Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.
Value
88- “I was just there in Denver and the top choice is the Ritz Carlton but it's overpriced, though it's by far the best in you get a good deal.” 5
- “Water was another irritation: two complimentary mini-bottles of generic purified water were offered, while two larger bottles labeled as "Saratoga" were actually cheap purified water sold for $6 apiece.” 8
