Read it your way

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Denver Downtown delivers modern lodging in the heart of the city near the Pepsi Center and CU Denver campus. Visitors enjoy spacious suites with comfortable beds, Keurig coffeemakers, and expansive mountain views. However, reviewers consistently complain about expensive parking and navigation quirks between separate towers. 158

How the 92/100 is built, category by category — each one with the strongest thing travelers actually said, and the source it came from.

Bathroom

read from 1 source · Deep coverage
  • 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. 8

Food

  • 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!). 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. 8
  • Breakfast area was the cleanest spot in the whole hotel. 3

Location

  • Part of the Marriott system, the mid-range SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown hotel is ideally located for those who want easy access to the Pepsi Center and the University of Colorado's Denver campus. 1

Room

  • For starters, there were power outlets at every turn. Almost every seat in the lobby had access to an outlet, while the communal tables even had wireless charging stations. The same went for the guest room - there were power outlets everywhere. 8
  • 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. 8

Room4 mentions
  • 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. 8
  • 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. 8
  • For starters, there were power outlets at every turn. Almost every seat in the lobby had access to an outlet, while the communal tables even had wireless charging stations. The same went for the guest room - there were power outlets everywhere. 8

  • The Denver hotel was also home to a Yard House and Zoup!, but these were just your typical chain restaurants. 8
  • A fitness center, free breakfast buffet, and convenience store are unexpected extras and the views are lovely from floor-to-ceiling windows. 1
