Top Denver Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Denver Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This Hyatt is in the perfect location in downtown Denver. It’s not on the main street (16th street) which helps to avoid a much busier part of the city but close enough to walk there and various other places such as Larimer Square and Union Station. Staff was very nice, the room was clean, and the free breakfast was very good."

Tru By Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast! The room was small, but for a solo traveler it was perfect! A lot of reviews mentioned the walls being thin but I didn’t notice anything."

Warwick Denver

10/10 Excellent

"Warwick was a perfect location for a concert we went to see and to Fillmore Auditorium. Lovely rooms, great food and amazing staff. Definitely coming back."

Populus

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely enjoyed my stay here. Since COVID I feel like the majority of hotels (even the four and five star properties) don’t clean or maintain their properties or rooms. This was the exact opposite. Every day I received housekeeping. The gym was spotless. The restaurants and bar were spotless and the attention to detail in all aspects was exceptional. We loved the filtered water in the halls and the reasonable rates for snacks and drinks in the rooms. The food in both restaurants was wonderful. The only issue I would like the property to address is the very expensive rate for overnight park of $65.00. I know this is the norm but as this isn’t a normal hotel it would be nice to have a lower price for their clients. Excited to visit again."
