My wife and I stayed at this hotel for our anniversary on NYE. The experience fell short of expectations in several areas, though there were some positive aspects worth noting. Upon arrival, we found no staff at the front desk and had to search for the check-in area without assistance. The room had maintenance issues that impacted essential comfort - specifically, the shower had a broken knob that made it difficult to operate. The bed mattress was extremely firm, with noticeable dips along the edges, and the pillows provided inadequate support, resulting in an uncomfortable night's sleep. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast service. The food quality was excellent, and the breakfast staff provided outstanding service. This experience demonstrated the level of quality the hotel can deliver. At checkout, the valet service was significantly delayed; our ticket was misplaced, and we waited 45 minutes to retrieve our vehicle. Overall, this is a beautifully designed space with attention to numerous sustainable elements; I wish that one of them had been more attentive to meeting our basic needs.

Overall, I had a great visit and I would stay again. The design is lovely, the food at both restaurants is great, the views from the roof are fantastic, and it's a convenient location for Denver. I was pleasantly surprised the window seat in my room was large enough for me to relax in (I'm over 6' tall). The bed was very comfortable. My room was a great place to relax after some hectic holidays visiting family. Visitors should definitely make time to at least have a drink at Stellar Jay. It's a cool space and the views are worth a look. The food was great overall, but I would skip the steak next time (but go for the trout!). The in-room coffee is pretty terrible, but the coffee from Little Owl is fantastic. The drip is great, but I also had an espresso drink with some turkish spices (i forget the name of the drink) that was outstanding. I had problems with my calls to the front desk asking for my car to be pulled around not being passed on to the valet. The valet guys were great, but next time I would probably just park in one of the many garages nearby and save the money and wait time. Heads up that the partnership with the Denver Art Museum never worked out, so don't plan on getting free admission with your stay as was purported upon booking. Hopefully they are making that change to their website and confirmation emails soon.
