Top Denver Zoo Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Had a few issues here. 1st room the TV, plugs and outlets didn't work, no hair dryer, the safe didn't work. Changed rooms and also outlet issues and no safe. Big lack of lightening in both rooms. Hot water from the cold water handle. Central air/ heat control so had to have space heater brought up. One elevator door stuck closed for a few minutes. Very noisy between rooms and street sirens, etc. the Staff and Breakfast were good. Most ice machines on various floors didn't work. Maid didn't replace / leave cups or ice bags. Dbl bed room and bathroom were VERY SMALL? Will not stay at this hotel again."

Hilton Denver City Center

10/10 Excellent

"10 de 10"

Hampton Inn & Suites Denver-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at the Hampton Inn Downtown Denver! Staff were nice, valet parking was very helpful, and the beds were so, so comfortable. Would book again in a heartbeat."

Populus

8/10 Good

"Rooms are very small but have a cool atmosphere. The property amenities are good. The staff was average. We had one friendly bartender the first day. The next day we had one that acted like we were an inconvenience for him. It was 8 in the evening when our group of 4 stopped in for a drink, the bar seats were all empty. I think he preferred it that way. The other staff we encountered would benefit from some further customer service training. Location for downtown Denver activities was great."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Good place to stay for conferences or downtown events. Very short walk to the conference center, and 16th street is right behind the hotel so there is a lot of food and shopping. The hotel itself is well kept. The rooms are decent size and my king room had a kitchen with sink, dishwasher, microwave, and a good-sized fridge. The breakfast was decent as well, with eggs, sausage/bacon, potatoes, and a lot of bread, cereal, oatmeal and fruit options. I felt secure as well because you need to use your key to get to your floor. There is a convenient self-service store on the first floor, paid laundry room in the basement, and a bar in the lobby. I would definitely stay there again for a conference."

Hyatt Place Denver Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great but they had no local channels so I was not able to watch football on Sunday."

All Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Such a beautifully designed hotel with a lively social atmosphere. The nonna maxxing event when we checked in was so cool and unique. The staff was great and very personable. We loved the breakfast and coffee in the morning but the Neapolitan martini flight in the evening was not our favorite. I wish they had a pool and hot tub but otherwise a perfect stay!"

Flora House Denver

10/10 Excellent

"Safe place a short ride from downtown."
