Hotels near Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver

We stayed here a couple days on a college visit trip for my daughter. This hotel was a very positive contrasting experience vs our stay at a different chain in Amarillo. The gym was pretty complete with I think 4 treadmills along with elliptical and free weights. The towels in the gym were clean, smelled nice and were like thick bath towels. The room was clean and there were adequate towels and washcloths. The reception folks were nice and always acknowledged us when we came or went. Parking was easy and well lit. There were an adequate number of elevators. They put us in a higher floor when we checked in since our room wasn't ready at 3:30 PM. Our room was comfortable and clean. There weren't kids running up and down the hallway and we didn't hear noise coming from other rooms. I have nothing to complain about. It was all positive. Oh, and the included breakfast was excellent. They didn't over hype it, it was just very good by typical complimentary breakfast American hotel standards. Wifi was complimentary and worked fine. There are good restaurants within easy walking distance. The recommended restaurants was a nice, but I'd suggest 2 changes. Pepper's Asian bistro was much better than the recommended Thai Pot Cafe unless you specifically want Pad Thai. We ate at both. For Italian I'd recommend North Italia, which they listed but wasn't a staff recommended.

First let me say that I normally post very positive reviews but that is not the case this time. Also, I can only speak for the room we were in which was 413. The room was very clean and you could smell the sanitizer when we first walked in the room. It was not overpowering but you could smell it. My issues with this particular room were the bathroom. The lighting was extremely poor and it was not conducive to applying makeup. Also, the shower is not setup very user friendly. The door can swing in or out but it is positioned so that when you turn on the water to warm it up you have to step in and get blasted with cold water. Not something I cherish to have happen. At one point during our stay two out of three elevators were out of order. When we left there was still one elevator that was out of order and had been most of our stay. The front desk staff was not friendly and no one at the desk gave me a warm and fuzzy glad you are here feeling. The best of the staff is in the restaurant and the shuttle driver. Shout out to Kookie, Jessica, Fernando and Jason in the restaurant. They definitely know how to interact with the guests and make you feel welcomed. Austin the shuttle driver was friendly and courteous. I would love to give this hotel an excellent rating but in my humble opinion nothing except the restaurant and shuttle driver are worthy.

I enjoyed my stay the staff was great,rooms were clean especially my front seat attendee Andrea was great. The location was good They had a 711 and restaurants walking distance along with a target so I didn’t have to go far.

Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center Pros: -Beautiful hotel -Activities for kids (some with additional fees) -Clean Cons: -Multiple staff were not very knowledgeable about the hotel amenities nor locations of things. Check-in staff was not friendly -Hard to find a place to roast s’mores since multiple fire pits were out and staff said they couldn’t turn them on -Not a lot of breakfast option during the weekday -Overpriced My family, 3 adults/2 kids(5 & under), visited the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center this August (2024). It was our first time in Denver and we were really looking forward to our stay at Gaylord. The hotel was about a 10 minute drive from the airport. Not much restaurants or things to do were close to the hotel but we were ok with that. Upon arrival the first thing we noticed was how grand and beautiful the hotel was. The grounds and hotel overall were very well kept and updated. We arrived in the afternoon and did not have a wait to check in. The gentlemen who assisted with check in was not very happy with life. Didn’t smile and was not very helpful. Instead of welcoming me and telling me about the resort, I had to ask him all the things including: Where was my room located? Did I need a key to get into the pool? Would towels be available at the pool? My room also came with a $50/night resort credit, parking was pre-paid, and we pre-paid for s’mores vouchers as well. None of that was explained or given to me until I asked about each one. If I never asked, I probably would have never received all the things I pre-paid for which is frustrating when I are already spent and planned so much. In addition, I even had to contact the resort after I left because the $50 credit was not applied one of the nights. Once we arrived to our room, we found it comfortable and had great service daily from the housekeeping staff. Water park: My kids enjoyed the water park area. The outdoor slides that accommodated my 5 year old were a big hit. My little one enjoyed the shallow end of the pool where he could stand and play. The highlight for the adults was the lazy river. Towels are available at the pool. Finding chairs poolside were a little difficult on the weekends with how busy the resort was. Not a big deal for us when we showed up before 10am. One downside was when we asked various staff questions like how to get to a certain place within the resort or what was a good restaurant to go to in the resort, many could not answer our questions. One even replied “I’m sorry I don’t know, I’ve never been around inside“ I thought this was a strange response being that they worked there. This was poor customer service in my opinion. 3D wildlife rescue & Live animals My family enjoyed exploring and hunting for the digital animals scattered throughout the lobby. In order to participate, we had to scan a code on the floor and then download the app. Once in the app, you can scan each code on the floor and a 3D animal would pop up on t

Guest servixes guy was rude, for a high end hotel and everything cost more including wifi i think is pretty silly

Breakfast is good, there is a parking lot, and Wi-Fi is fast. However, the restaurant is closed due to the epidemic. You can only solve it by yourself at a nearby restaurant. The outlet is 50 meters away, which is convenient for shopping. Very quiet, the room near the high speed is somewhat noisy!

Ever since my daughter moved to the Lone Tree area I have been trying different hotels to find ”the one”. I would like a hotel in which to stay each time I visit. I think I have found just that at this hotel. The rooms are nicely equipped, quiet, and clean. The beds and shower (two important items for me) were fantastic. The staff is very helpful and eager to please. The location makes it easy to get to just about everything (dining, shopping, attractions, etc). The light rail train station is just up the street if you want to avoid the traffic into downtown Denver. The breakfast served each morning is way above industry standard...especially p[ost-COVID. Some nights they serve free alcoholic drinks in the lobby. There is a lovely fire pit area to enjoy on nice weather nights. This hotel is pet friendly as well. I have already booked a return visit to this hotel. I highly recommend giving this one a try.

Hotel was really really clean! I arrived almost 10 hours late so I went to check in and was told all rooms are booked! It was Memorial Day weekend and a lot of people came into town. I pre paid so I felt cheated. Turns out my hotel key and paperwork were already there when I gave her my name. She had made sure our room was available and handed me the key with no issues. Best service ever! I have had overbooked rooms that I reserved through an app before leave me stranded. This was great for me as it would have been a huge inconvenience since it was 5am

First of all we had an amazing time from start to finish. Our wedding block was here and we had roughly 50 guests at the hotel over 3-4 nights. Megan in Sales was great to work with and helpful answering all of our questions. Austin and Max at the front desk were awesome. Also our bartenders Sunday night (sorry forgot your names, probably because you rock) kept the party going!! I’m not aware of any of our guest having any issues, hotel was very accommodating of all requests and our bride/groom suite was Baller. Thank you all so much for making our weekend run smoothly!! 10/10 would recommend

STAY AWAY!!! If not...Print a copy of your reservation price before checking in and then check your credit card statement after being charged. They quote one rate, then change your reservation to a higher rate, without telling you, and then charge higher rates to your credit card, without telling you. They say it's an accident, but they have been doing it to many guests over and over again. They say they will fix it, but the don't. You will have to contest it with your bank, and they will ask for a copy of your original reservation price so you better have that printed out from BEFORE they changed it or you are shot out of luck. THIEVES!!! LYING THIEVES!!!
