What an amazing place. We were so impressed with all the amenities, the service was perfect, the room while slightly smaller was perfect for a long weekend stay. Stellar Jay restaurant is a must!! The little owl coffee shop makes great...everything. It is a perfect location to 16th street shopping and entertainment. Larimer square is great, And the thrift store bar is a MUST.

The restaurant was great as was the coffee bar. The 2nd floor seating area was terrific. The room itself was good but not great. The concept was good but the execution could have been better. It was pretty dark and there were not enough electrical outlets. They also need towel hooks in the bathroom. The bed and bedding were excellent.

Impressive property with exceptional dining options and friendly staff. Room was spotless and comfortable, although fairly small—a Grove Queen may be tight for more than one guest. Pasque was delicious, well-priced, and had friendly service. Little Owl Coffee met the same standard. I enjoyed the rooftop guest lounge in the mornings for complimentary coffee. The property is a short walk from the 16th St FreeRide, which was convenient.

Great location downtown Denver. Interesting architecture and building materials inside and out. Appreciated the focus on "green" and sustainability. Room was on the smaller side but was clean, and liked the QR code option to leave tip for housekeeping. Enjoyed breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Only disappointment was we arrived late and the bar closed early. Would definitely stay again!
