this place does not refund you even if they say they will! the moment i got there, there were homeless people all around the hotel. the air conditioning did not work. when i walked into my room, the bathroom window to outside was WIDE open, as if a homeless person had come inside! it’s also dirty inside. DO NOT stay here, just trust me on this.

Inside was cute, but the inability to come and go due to the homelessness and drugged out people caused us to cancel our second night. Cops had to be called just so could get into property. Was told to park vehicle blocks away because unsafe and no parking.

Dumpy spot

Checked in late after delayed flight and neither of the two door codes provided worked. We were standing at the front door and were accosted my a local drunk person. No person working onsite, luckily they answered the phone but weren’t really helpful… offered to cancel our reservation instead of fixing their mistake. Wanted to love the place with the old school charm, but room wasn’t really functional. No side tables, few outlets, tiny bathroom.

Nice space and relatively clean room. Do wish there was somewhere to hang towels and fix the leaky faucet in the kitchen. Struggled to clean plates as there were not cleaning supplies. Appreciated the amenities and I would stay here again! The homeless were a bit of a nuisance but manageable. But overall, a very pleasant stay!

Good stay, rough area

I booked this based off being close to a pre concert meet up at a local restaurant. The area around it was across the street from a bus stop. The area around the hotel was covered with trash and had a lot of unhoused people. No one bothered me, but I was a little uncomfortable walking back post concert by myself. My room had an ac unit which was nice but only drapes and with it being seconds from a brightly lit gas station, the curtains blocked the air, definitely need blinds instead. It worked for what I needed and was clean inside which is what the best you can hope for

The room was fine but there is no on site personnel. You get in while punching in a code at the entrance with homeless literally on the steps to the front door about 5 feet away. I moved to another hotel for the rest of the weekend. Moved to a Hilton Inn on Welton Street which was 1000 % better

The television did not work correctly. There was no volume the area around. It was unsafe. There were homeless people everywhere and the 7-Eleven even had a warning sign of recording people that I could hear from my window. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. I was told that I would get at least 50% off my stay.

A hotel with some charm in a terrible place

The hotel has already (snarkily) responded to others who have complained about the homeless situation, stating that "all cities have homeless problems." Okay but this particular corner of Colfax and High Street is unbelievably bad. Parking on the street was super limited and you had to walk past what can only be called absolute squalor to get to the front door. Inside, the hotel is not without its charms (but is without any staff) and you'll definitely need to make use of the complimentary earplugs and eye masks they leave you in order to get any sleep. I took my earplugs out around 3 am hoping the zombie apocalypse outside would have calmed down, (which it mostly had except the occasional person screaming). The hotel inside was pretty clean actually but unfortunately the chemical products they use are overpowering and we got out of there as fast as we could in the morning. Switch to some more eco-friendly cleaning products. If I were the owners of this hotel, I'd be going to every City Council meeting I could and demand that Denver clean up the scene around my business. Are there no police in this town? If it sounds like I am being too harsh here, please note that I have left out some of the worst things we saw. Not just homelessness, but prostitution, drugs, public nudity, and the biggest mess on a street corner I've ever walked past. Also the listing says, " ... all while being pampered by the top-rated helpful staff." What? There's literally nobody there!

Mediocre at best

It was fine, a place to sleep…it was loud, there were a ton of homeless people. I feel like it would benefit from having someone onsite, the homeless sit around on the steps, making it super uncomfortable when trying to get in/out. The tv volume didn’t work on the remote, subtitles only. The coffee cups were dirty.

There are a lot of noisy things that are happening in the area like construction and large groups on unhoused people chilling outside. Would not be a problem if the windows were all shut, however, one of the windows in the sunroom attached to the suite was stuck open when I arrived and I was unable to close it. I instead had to close the doors that opened to the sunroom to mute the sounds from outside and keep the room from getting hot because all the cool air from the A/C was just escaping and allowing hot air in. The main door to the suite also needs some maintenance because every time I opened and closed it, it was incredibly loud, and I felt bad disturbing others in the hotel. Overall, not the worst experience I’ve had in a hotel, but no where near the best. Please look into doing maintenance of doors and windows in your facility, it is both for comfort and safety.
