Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Denver Downtown

4/5

I would recommend for a short stay. Overall the stay (7 nights) was good. The staff was extremely nice. The room was nice, beds are new but WAY too soft, and a nice 'livingroom'. They have a microwave, keurig, and a mini fridge (but it froze everything in the matter of a couple hours). The shower was great! Roomy walk in with great water pressure (they provide shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash). The temperature handle was a little stiff to regulate to the perfect temp, but it worked out just fine. The view from one side of the building was beautiful! It overlooked downtown, Empower Field, Denver Aquarium, Amusement park, and in the distance The Rockies! Breakfast was complimentary...but I would not compliment it too much! Normals like coffee, juice, cereal, yogurt, bagles, English muffins, fresh fruit (apples, oranges, and bananas), powdered eggs (didn't taste like eggs, and lots of water in the bottom), crustless mini quiche (spinach and swiss), breakfast croissant sandwich (powdered egg, cheese, sausage patty). What i would compliment is the very nice oatmeal bar and mini Belgium waffle maker (which was more in Marriott style). Out of 7 nights they had bacon 1 time. Other than that, the same exact thing every single morning. Shame on Marriott. For what you pay, they can definitely do better when it comes to breakfast. The lobby was clean and inviting with a wall of floor to ceiling windows overlooking downtown and the Rockies! They also offer a few family games to play if you wanted. The 'Tavern' was under construction I am assuming. They had a mobile bar set up next to the front desk with a bartender there instead of at the actual bar. The Tavern area is very small with just a few stools at the bar (it is in the lobby). The weight/workout room is ok size with different equipment to choose from. Seemed like an ok space. The indoor pool area offered a small balcony outside, overlooking downtown. The pool itself maxed out at 3' ft deep, perfect for the kiddos or just a quick dip. The water temp was perfect. There is a rooftop area, but closed to the general guests (only available if reserved for a gathering). It would have been GREAT to have a bar/restaurant up there to enjoy the beautiful views of Denver, and open to the guests. Within 1 mile walk to everything, a 25 min drive from the airport, and Mtns about 1 1/2 hrs Overall I would recommend this hotel for a short (weekend) stay. It's clean, the rooms are nice and the staff if friendly.
