Sonesta Denver Downtown in Denver

No complaints about the service, although mostly it was just us saying hi and bye to the concierge as we came and went. Check-in was quick and easy, as was check-out.

Parking was extremely frustrating, with no parking offered by the hotel. The 3 parking lots in the immediate vicinity that were recommended by the hotel were around $30 for each day and/or each time we parked there, making it inconvenient to come back to the hotel in between excursions. This would have been less problematic if we were planning to stick to the downtown area where we could have walked or taken public transportation. We ended up parking in a deck a few blocks away instead.

The layout of the bathroom area was a bit weird. There was an open entrance to the sink area and a sliding door to partition the toilet and shower area. The light switch controlled the lights for both areas though, and since there was no divider for the sink area, any time someone needed to use the bathroom at night it meant they were bathing the room in light or using the toilet in the dark. Also the mini fridge was under the bathroom sink, which I didn’t mind but my partner didn't like.

There is on site laundry, but after we were directed to it we found a sign up indicating the laundry was out of service. The sign was removed later that evening, but at that point it was late didn't feel worth staying up for since we had an early morning the next day.

If you're traveling solo and not driving, this would probably be a better fit. I rated location low because of lack of good parking options, but it was near lots of restaurants and would definitely be more walkable in warmer months.
