Renaissance Denver Stapleton Hotel

Ventajas: I liked the cleanliness of the rooms and the accomodating nature of the staff.

Desventajas: I didn't like being charged for internet or parking.

Ventajas: There's a very clean and modern feel to the rooms and lounge areas, with a great pool, hot tub, guest laundry room as well as fitness room. Upon entrance you are greeted by friendly, helpful staff. There was a live performance in the lounge/bar area when we returned to our room on Wednesday night. Although we did not stay to see the whole act, we did comment on how fun that was, but didn't notice other performers the rest of the time we were there, although we weren't around much during the evening. Rooms were comfortable and clean! In the mornings there are fresh apples, newspapers and a water decanter with lemon and lime slices for the taking as well as a Starbucks vendor around the corner for those who need a bit more. You're also nearby restaurants and shopping and not very far from the downtown area at all.

Desventajas: As most people have and will comment, the Light Rail is somewhat of an inconvenience as it mandatorily honks at every cross street night and day, but the hotel does mention that on it's website and as you arrive so you should know what you're getting yourself into before it happens. They are kind enough to offer you earplugs as well. As we were on vacation, we didn't see it as a big deal at all. We honestly didn't have many cons on our list aside from the pool being a bit cold for our liking and the parking situation was kind of a bummer. They have a parking fee or valet or the final option was to park in the street for free (Which was alright. We were able to park nearby our window each night and had zero problems with our vehicles or street sweepers). Free wifi would have been a plus, but overall we were very pleased with our stay and would recommend it and stay again!

Ventajas: The staff was very friendly and helpful! Great new room.

Desventajas: They are currently under construction and during the day it was a little noisy in the room. However, we had a meeting and we could not hear anything during the meeting.

Great except....

Ventajas: The room was nice and clean, staff was very friendly and helpful.

Desventajas: They are still charging for wifi which seems pretty archaic these days, especially since the facilities are geared more toward business travelers.

Inside it's perfect. Outside it's just okay.

Ventajas: - Decent bar, great food at said bar - Very friendly staff that asks which side of the building you'd like, a fairly rare experience for me - Clean and spacious - It seems on the ground floor like it's going to be loud, but the set up turns out to make that a non-issue in rooms.

Desventajas: - Not close to much you'd want to see, wouldn't use as a base for a stay in Denver, but it's very easy to get to if you're on your way from Denver or the airport to somewhere else (or vice versa). - On the west side of the building you may hear obnoxious protesters in the morning who have nothing better to do than harass women seeking healthcare. They don't tell you this when you check in and they ask which side of the building you'd like. - Although my car was parked, they didn't think to tell me to keep my room key until I got my car. This created a bit of a headache.

All-around excellent

Ventajas: Staff, service, room, restaurants, lounge all top-notch. Staff especially sharp, helpful and attentive in ALL areas. Our event was enhanced by the helpfulness and efficiency of the excellent staff as well. My wife and I both were very impressed.

Desventajas: Breakfast service at the hotel restaurant was strained due to lack of enough staff. However, those that were working gave service unexpectedly above and beyond given the hectic conditions.
