Finally a hotel that gives you what you paid for! Nice staff (even in the middle of the night), no fights about an extra towel, quality hygiene amenities, spacious clean room (and we were in a pet room, no less), a big clean shower, plenty of storage/staging (including coat hooks and a bench)... This hotel is bookmarked.

This hotel is located in Aurora, about 20-25 min from Denver airport. The greater Aurora city area is, generally speaking, less desirable, but the hotel is wonderful. It was generally quiet, except for some parking lot noise (loud people and thumping music), but this is beyond the control of hotel staff. Breakfast was great. Our room was comfortable and clean. The hotel has an indoor pool, gym and sauna. The facility and amenities are modern, and everything was functional and in good condition. For business travel this hotel is a great fit.

Very nice hotel and hotel room. We stayed here for 2 nights and it was perfect for us. I felt decently safe, however there are some homeless in the surrounding area, but you will get that anywhere. Friendly front desk. Also the breakdsst was really yummy. We had egg white omlets with peppers and cheese and that was so good.

Close to Medical Campus I used public transport to reach the hotel coming from Denver airport. Quiet easy and convenient . Mrs Tabitha Winters the Manager was welcoming the guests at the reception. And what a warm Welcome she gave! She was all smiling and fun and at the same time competent and efficient. She ironed out a bad experience I had before at the airport. All of the staff I encountered were polite and friendly (Carlos for ex.) The hotel is clean, well kept, no signs of neglect. A lot of conveniently placed outlets in the room. The lightning was good. American Breakfast with some choices, alas plastic cutlery is used. Very convenient: a complimentary shuttleservice to the Medical Campus is offered. The surrounding area is not very attractive, but the hotel itself is a safe place. I will try to stay again on my next mission.

Great location close to Anschutz medical center, easy access from I225. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, staff is responsive to requests. Breakfast provided, usually eggs, sausage, biscuits, pastry and staples like oatmeal, cereal and yogurt. No dairy milk alternatives are provided, which I would like to have had.

I rarely stay in a motel, but this is by far the nicest place I have ever stayed. The VA covered my stay for a surgery the next day, and the VA chose wisely.

I could not have been more pleased with my stay here. The entire building was impeccably maintained, the rooms were spotlessly clean, nicely appointed, and very well-designed - especially the lighting. The hot breakfast was far beyond my expectations and the staff was pleasant and seemed to be happy working there. I found out later that the core staff members who opened this location 7 years ago are still there, and are very proud of this business. It shows!

This was a good place to stay at close to the hospital. The room was clean, room service came all 3 days we were there and replaced towels and made the beds. The front desk was friendly. The front door was locked unless staff let you in or you had a key card. There was a small pool, sauna and gym. My mother liked the breakfast (it's your typical brkfst eggs, sausage, pancakes, cereal). Parking is $3 a night, and it can be kinda full at times in the evening.
