Hotel Chain is usually good....

... But this one is so close to HWY that the sound is kind of anoying.... Just a reminder: Maid Staff should spray vinegar on shower curtain to avoid smell of people who are lazy to use toilet before going into shower!... Unfortunately people are not all well educated

sound night's sleep close to downtown

I stayed at this La Quinta two years before and had a good experience. This visit again provided a good night's rest that is close to Denver downtown and area activities, but without the walking-distance price premium. I was in Denver for four days work and had to travel north two evenings, so I wasn't concerned about being able to walk everywhere. The first night I booked at another national brand hotel and that turned out to be a disaster, no rest all night. I tried this La Quinta again and was very satisfied, clean, quiet (even though right next to freeway) room, decent breakfast, and downtown in a few minutes. The restaurant next door was recommended as good, but I could not get service there; they are very disorganized.

Time-saving tip: Short drive from hotel

If you need to be near Broadway/Welton, there are several self-serve parking lots that charge $4.50-5.00 per day instead of the $18 and up parking garage rates, but you need cash.

Pleasant experience

Staff was excellent. Good restaurants within walking distance. Close to downtown. Bus stop next to Inn which made for easy commute to and from downtown area. Would definitely stay here on future visits to Denver.

Broncos Playoff Game

The room was very clean as was the grounds. The staff was very friendly & immediately help with an overflowing toilet. The temp was in the single digits but yet the rooms were very warm & comfortable before we even turned on the heat...actually we never turned on the heat during the night. Although this has no reflection on the motel...the store next door (as in many other places) has bums hanging out front.

If coming from the airport (and have no rental car) PAY for a round trip ticket using the shuttle service...Taxi will cost as much for 1 way as the shuttle does for round trip.

Bad Location

The hotel itself wasn't that bad but the location is horrible. I would have never stayed there if I had known there was a train yard about 50 yards behind the hotel. Would have gladly payed a little more to stay somewhere else. I had a horrible time trying to sleep.

Average experience

The interior is definitely nicer than the exterior. Nice new Samsung 32" flat screen TV. Nice decor. Room appeared clean. My only complaint was the noise. The walls are thin and you're right next to the highway. If you are a light sleeper, I would not recommend.
