We recently stayed at the Inn of the Highland in Denver and were profoundly disappointed by the shocking lack of cleanliness and severe maintenance issues throughout our room. I strongly advise future travelers to book elsewhere. The cleanliness standards were absolutely unacceptable. Upon inspecting the room, we found layers of visible dirt coating the upper shelves, and the bathroom ventilation unit was thick with grime. The shower was also host to visible mold. This suggests a total failure of basic cleaning protocols. The structural condition of the room was equally poor. The walls had chipped paint and, in some areas, the latex paint was peeling and coming off completely. The decay extended to the floorboards right at the edge of the shower, where there were exposed nail holes in the wood. Even the bed linens were damaged, as our sheet had a noticeable hole. Beyond the cosmetic issues, we faced functional problems. The shower water temperature was never truly hot, only lukewarm. Furthermore, the service was lacking; we had to wait several minutes as the front desk person disappeared upon our arrival. We seriously discussed leaving immediately and finding another hotel, but we elected to stay only because getting a refund for the first night would have been an extremely bothersome ordeal. This property is in urgent need of a deep clean and complete renovation. Recommendation: Do not stay here. The facility is dirty, damaged, and not worth the trouble.

I'm not one to write bad reviews. You know, if you can't say anything nice.... I wasn't going to write this one but Expedia kept hounding me. So here goes: Words can't describe the rundown tacky poorly furnished room that was our "suite." To get there we had to enter the elevator that looked like murders may have possibly occurred there at some point. The room number was done with a Sharpie, the towel rack was mostly missing (one part was still on the wall,) the bedroom mirror was etched with some kind of graffiti, the phone was missing all of the upper buttons, there was barely any furniture in the main room, I could go on but why bother. The place is obviously a tear down on it's last legs. Love the HIghlands though!

This place was so filthy we checked in and right back out. Smashed pumpkin at doorstep, unfinished painting in and outside of room, graffiti on table, a real dump in a bad area. Booked a 3-night stay and got no refund from Inn at the Highland Denver. Expedia was no help with refund either. Will never use Expedia again.

Our room was 1.6 miles to Denver convention center. Was able to walk along Cherry Creek trial. The price was very reasonable considering proximity to downtown and not have to walk too much in traffic. It is an older building, but still functional. The parking lot was filled with newer vehicles.
