The Eddy Taproom & Hotel
The room was fine. The breakfast was good however, the tables were not cleaned after other guests left. The coffee maker on our floor did function our whole visit.

Holiday Inn Express Denver Downtown by IHG
Staff was decent & breakfast was nice but the room was freezing. The thermostat didn’t work in our room and we froze until house keeping brought a portable heater to our room. It wasn’t even a cold day in Denver, so this was particularly frustrating. Would not stay here again.
