I would have to give this hotel a 4 star rating for amenities, friendly staff, clean modern lobby, quickness of valets, and location. However, our room itself would not receive the same rating. During our two week driving trip to SD and through CO we stayed at 6 different hotels/motels. This was the only 4* that we stayed in and I have to say that the small mom and pop places we stayed had much cleaner rooms and bathrooms! I don't know if it is because we booked through hotwire, but the carpet had obviously not been vaccumed and the bathtub had hair in it. I had to run water and use a cup to wash the hair down the drain before I could use it the first time. The bathroom floor was dirty with black footprints. Outside room doors all have black scuff marks on them and are in need of a repainting. Very disappointing for a 4*. Good Starbucks coffee in the room, very comfortable bed and pillow, nice pool and work out area, and great view of downtown. Be careful walking down 16th street as there are ALOT of panhandlers. They were everywhere! I lost count of how many people were playing guitars and singing with a container for money to be thrown in. At least they were doing something though and not just boldly walking up to you and ask for money, as we had happen several times. One person, a woman with a dog was quite beligerent when we said no and walked away. In the center of the street there were NUMEROUS homeless people on the benches, playing the piano and playing games. If those things were put there for the general public to use, you wouldn't be able to get near them! We have traveled to many large urban cities in the U.S. and Europe and I have never seen so many panhandlers and homeless people on the streets. It was so bad that you didn't want to make eye contact with anyone fearing that they were a panhandler. I would definitely not walk around, if you are a female, by yourself either day and definitely not at night. Also, don't believe the information in some of the Denver travel brochures. There is incorrect information and phone numbers that have been disconnected. P.S. DO NOT use Budget Rental out of the airport! Very mismanaged!
