"Nice hotel with great access to Denver area."

I stayed a few days in Denver and have friends that live around the area and chose this hotel. I had a nice quiet room and the hotel has a great breakfast in the morning too. A great location and close to everything. The staff was very helpful and assisted me with printing some documents I needed. I would return. Thanks.
