Top hotels in Highlands
Hyatt Place Peña Station/Denver Airport
I was very happy to learn there was an airport shuttle that ran starting at 5:30am. They also had onsite parking while gone. I wish I could've enjoyed their breakfast that morning before I left.

Sonesta Denver Downtown
The valet staff were great while the check-in and check-out staff could be a bit friendlier and more thankful. The bar and food staff great. I liked my large room, and it was very clean. I will stay again if I need to come downtown Denver.

Plaza Hotel Denver
This should not be a hotel it should be a motel. It looks like they give vouchers to unhoused people. Homeless people outside hanging out. I went to go buy sandals to shower due to the conditions of the shower. Very poor hotel. Dirty elevator and very ugly room.

Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown by IHG
The room was clean and they did housekeeping every day. The breakfast was better than I expected for a Continental one. The staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. I have no complaints about my stay there. Besides, the location was excellent too.
