Hyatt Centric Downtown Denver
The bed was comfortable and rooms were clean. The restaurant was pretty good too. Parking is expensive and takes awhile to get your car from valet parking.

Sentral Union Station
Great apartment style hotel! The staff was friendly, check in was easy, the room was clean and spacious. The only downside was apparently all 3 hot tubs were not functioning 🤔 and one of the reasons we picked this place was because they had a hot tub.

The Acoma House
I found the Acoma House quite charming, clean and loved the artwork. There was not really a kitchen but a fridge, microwave and hotplate, which I did not use. My only complaint was the coffee maker, which took pods and didn’t give a full cup. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area
