Watkins Hotels

A friend and I were driving down to Denver, and this was the only hotel that we could find with availability. We'd only encountered the front desk staff twice - when we were checking in, and checking out. The check-in process was very seamless and only took about five minutes, with checking out taking about 30 seconds.. Both times we spoke to the staff, they were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was a bit overpriced for the aesthetic of the hotel (a little outdated), but there are signs around that they are remodeling. It was still very clean, and whenever we went out, housekeeping freshened it up perfectly, so it was like coming back to a new room every time. It was also pretty quiet for the most part. I could hear our neighbors talking, but only when I was at the bathroom sink, and never had an issue with anyone keeping us up late hours into the night. It's extremely close to Downtown Denver, given its location. They have a free shuttle that can take you to the airport, where you can ride the light rail into the Downtown area, but if you have a car, I suggest driving the ten minutes to the Peoria station and taking the light rail from there (which we did), as it is considerably cheaper. If you don't want to go outside of the area, there are many restaurants and a Walmart within a mile radius of the hotel.
