I stayed in a studio suite for four nights while attending a convention in Denver. Although the convention planners offered several hotel options, I don't think any could have topped the Residence Inn for value and spaciousness, and the fellow convention-goers I met at the hotel agreed.
The room was tastefully decorated and inviting. The bed was very comfortable with a down comforter and an assortment of pillows. The studio suite has all of the amenities of a two-room suite except for the wall separating the bedroom and the living area (and the extra TV). It was a large room and had lots of windows, giving it even a more spacious feel. Even after four nights, the room still didn't feel confining.
Housekeeping was friendly and reliable, and the room was always spotless. The housekeeper ran our dishwasher even when we only had a couple of items loaded.
Residence Inn offers a complimentary breakfast daily and a light dinner with cocktails and soft drinks on Monday through Thursday. The food was so-so, but I appreciated that the hot items were rotated to prevent boredom, particularly at breakfast. Taking advantage of these two meals can really make staying here an economical choice.
Just two blocks from the hotel is 16th Street, a pedestrian-friendly street with countless shops and restaurants and a popular tourist destination. A free bus runs along the street, stopping at every block.
The hotel is six blocks from the main entrance of the convention center. The blocks in Denver are short, so the walk is less than a half mile, and the route is completely safe with heavy pedestrian traffic. You can shave off two blocks by hopping on the free 16th Street, bus, but walking was often quicker. Coors Field is also walking distance from the hotel.
The hotel has a small workout room, but if the weather is nice, I recommend the Cherry Creek trail just behind the convention center. It winds for miles through Denver along a waterway and is a great way to exercise outdors without having to deal with traffic.
