The Retro Pad is so cool!!
Upon arriving we were instantly greeted with some of the most delicious cookies I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. After sampling some of the goods I began to look around and truly take in everything the Retro Pad had to offer.
First off the decor has the perfect mix of modern and retro touches which makes the space so inviting and comfortable; instantly I felt at home. Next I began to see the attention to detail Tonya and Miles have so thoughtfully put into action. Everything is discreetly labeled so as to be helpful but not overwhelming. Electrical outlets are in abundance and easy to find. We were able to keep all of our electronics charged without having to crawl behind furniture or unplug other electronics. The space is rather large for a basement apartment which was perfect for the two of us but would serve a family with kids or four adults very easily. The bed was extremely comfortable which is such a relief when spending time away from home. I actually liked the pillows so much I checked the label so I could buy some for myself. The bathroom was extremely clean with plenty of towels and plush robes. Hot water was available instantly which made for a very soothing shower experience. The bathroom was also fully stocked with a hairdryer (which meant we didn't have to pack one, thank so much), razors, soaps, toothpaste, etc... you name it, it was there.
Saturday morning we woke up to a delicious breakfast for two which included: breakfast burritos, fresh fruit, mango passion juice, and what was without a doubt the best blueberry/lemon zest muffin I have ever had. Tonya even provided a birthday candle for the muffin because she knew we were in town celebrating a birthday. Her attention to detail is unmatched by anyone. Also her culinary skills never ceased to amaze me. I highly recommend ordering at least one breakfast if not more. It is so refreshing to wake up on vacation and not have to cook or go out for an expensive breakfast. We were able to wake up and watch a few minutes of tv while eating breakfast just as we would at home.
We also had the pleasure of meeting both Tonya and Miles. They were both very kind and welcoming people. Unfortunately we spent so much time out exploring Denver we didn't get to converse as much as we would have liked. However the little time we spent with them we know it would have been fun to hang in their beautiful backyard and chat all night.
I highly recommend staying at he Retro Pad. I certainly plan to stay there again in the future whenever we visit Denver for a Red Rocks show. Molly and I cannot thank you enough for being such amazing hosts!!
Thank you!! And we hope to see you again in the future!!
