July 2025 - Diamond in the rough - fantastic stay - coming back!

Everything from checking in to out was seemless and amazing. Everyone at the hotel went two steps extra through out my stay. Lovely concierge/security lady, reception amazing, operations guys who fixed my safe (my fault) within minutes, the amazing staff at the bar and restaurant, and the fantastic attendants who cleaned my room. I am coming back in a couple of weeks. Love this place. Diamond in the rough!!!

Great location and beautiful hotel near UCHealth. Love the green space nearby. There’s a great coffee shop close by so it’s easy to grab a coffee and enjoy the view.

Decent Stay, But Not Business-Friendly

Fri Aug 01 2025 10:39:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by LaurenM729811

I stayed here for a business trip and while the hotel itself was clean and comfortable, several issues made the experience frustrating. The self-parking lot was not located near the hotel, which was inconvenient—especially since this wasn’t disclosed on the website. For a business traveler, that kind of logistical surprise is a real setback. Staff interactions were consistently curt and unwelcoming. No one was rude, but there was a noticeable lack of hospitality or willingness to assist. This was especially evident when I requested a late checkout—just an extra hour to wrap up a meeting—which was rudely denied. I ended up having to cut the meeting short to check out on time. The room and amenities were fine, and the environment was quiet enough for work, but the overall experience didn’t meet expectations for a business-class hotel. Clearer communication and more professional service would go a long way in improving the guest experience.

The staff and service is exceptional! Rooms and beds comfortable. We had a business dinner at the hotel, ambiance was nice, food presentation and taste flavors great. Housekeeping misses a few details and should be eco conscious.
