Quaint hotel - neighborhood not great

The hotel and the room were very quaint and lovely - just as advertised. A few things to note, especially for solo women travellers: location of the hotel is noisy (but they provided ear plugs) and across the street from a bus stop favored by homeless people who called out to me. As a woman, this was not very reassuring. The door code provided only worked for one night, instead of the two I had reserved. Fortunately I entered the main door with other people who were returning at the same time. Otherwise, I would have been waiting in the street while a new code was provided. The hosts were quick to respond but it took 5 minutes and standing outside at night would have been anxiety-inducing. The room provided a coffee maker and tea. When I boiled water, I found an old sachet of coffee in the coffee maker - underwhelming to say the least.

Great room to n an old fashioned boutique hotel. The location outside is a bit rough and tumble and is undergoing construction, like much of Denver. It is in a good area near the Botanic Gardens and nice homes.

It’s a unique property. Good location as it is central to many attractions, but in a bad block. Very noisy making sleep impossible. People who weren’t guests were very disruptive. There were adequate furnishings.

Overall my stay was ok. The Property its self could certainly use a facelift. I stayed in 2 rooms for my stay and i must say i love the unique designs of each room, but the rooms its self could really use and update. One of my rooms only had 2 outlets in the main living area and neither were even close to my bed. The other room didnt even have bed side night stands i had to charge my eletronics on the other side of the room. Also this room had a lack of plugs in it as well.

There were so many flaws in the room that I preferred not to stay there. Moreover the surrounding area of the property didn’t seem safe to me. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Horrible horrible experience

When my husband and I arrived at this location, we were horrified at what we drove up to this location and parked out front, we were greeted by homeless people on the steps leading to the door, we had to physically step over them. When we finally got to the door, as we searched for our code, another girl on the stairs opened the door up with her code, as if she had done it for other before. How incredibly unsafe. Upon entering the building, we were met with an awful smell, dirty rugs and an overall very unsettling appearance. At this tine, we realized there was not any hotel staff on site at all. We never even entered our room, we left and thought it would be 100% safer to stay somewhere else. The location of this “chalet” is incredibly dangerous for out of town guests with plans of leaving their room at any point. To say we were disappointment in this booking is the understatement of the century!!

The rooms are VERY swanky (stayed in the Albert ste) but being that there is ZERO on-site staff, here is the issue: response times if there is an issue... and there was. We ran out of the ¼ roll of toilet paper by the 2nd day and there were only 2 washclothes for 2 ppl for 4 days. I emailed mgnt but got no response. Luckily we had our own TP! Then the 2nd day we found a cleaning person and asked them directly and she took care of it. But then the lock code stopped working on the room door. U have a maglock at the front door and an electric doorlock on the room. Evidently the batteries die all the time but cleaning staff cannot do that. So she let us in by using the master key but we had to wait for the Mgr to chg the batteries and reprogram the lock. Well she was supposed to be there in 5mins as she was already en route supposedly. That was at 9am. I had to go to a trade show, but my wife cldnt leave or she might not be able to get back in the room- and there is NO lobby. The Mgr finally showed up arnd 5pm. So my wife cldnt even leave for lunch or to go outside for fresh air. All day she was basically trapped in the room. Other issues: the furnishings in the room in the pictures must be for staging bc the room was much more barren when we were there- no decorative credenza, nightstands were diff, no bedskirt at all; the coffee was not replenished daily; the window onto the alley was missing the lock, homeless hang out on the side and in front of the bldg so remain vigilant.

It's definitely a place with character! The area is a bit sketchy and there always seems to be a few people hanging around the street outside--I would try to avoid coming and going alone if I could. The service was great however, and there's air conditioning and the bed was comfy. It was still a great experience. Definitely check out Pete's Diner and the Lion's Lair just down the street.
