Top hotels in Highlands
Hyatt Place Peña Station/Denver Airport
The fresh hot breakfast was amazing. Rooms are spotless. Staff is very informative. The only thing I didn’t like is they charge $16 for parking They claim they don’t own the parking lot, which is a bunch of BS but just another way to make more money

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.

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.
