This has nothing to do for Kathryn. It’s for the hotel. Checking in was easy, the staff was nice, there was a restaurant in the lobby and coffee shop super close by. It was cute and had nice aspects. BUT below are the downsides of the hotel I wish I knew beforehand:
1. The location is really hectic / busy, which honestly isn’t great for sleeping at night. Especially if you’re not used to living / sleeping in the city like me! There were Ambulances, motorcycles and random street noise that kept me up & woke me up at night. I know this isn’t the hotels fault. It just is what it is. I’m pretty grumpy when I don’t have great sleep several nights in a row.
2. The bed & pillows weren’t as comfortable as I’d hoped. I woke up with neck and shoulder pain each day. And that never happens to me. Again, not how you want to feel when you’re traveling or on a vacation.
3. Another downside is there wasn’t a mini fridge in the room, which was inconvenient for food / leftovers.
Other than that, it is affordable and there’s a chance these things may not bother you. Or maybe some rooms are quieter or comfier than others.
Next time I’m in Denver I’m choosing a nicer boutique hotel (the extra money is worth the sleep for me!) or an AirB&B house.
One upside is it makes me so much more grateful for my home, my bed, and not living in a busy noisy city!
