Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel

5/5

Rooms were comfortable, fairly modern and pretty quiet for such a central location. I was initially skeptical of the 'minimalist' clothes hanger but it worked perfectly for the week I was there. The shower uses a water-saving head but still pretty refreshing after a long day. Initially my room heater was broken but it was fixed immediately by an engineer as soon as I told the front desk, who were always friendly and helpful. The heated rooftop pool, poolside bar and games room is really a great feature, especially if you can get a room on the 5th floor of the tower building where they are located. Pay attention when the front desk tell you which building your room is in so you don't repeat my mistake of trying to get into the wrong room! Fitness facilities are pretty decent - I think the complimentary gym had every type of resistance machine ever made, plus plenty of bikes and treadmills, but only one aging rowing machine (Concept 2, but definitely in need of a service!). A few free weights but no barbells. The breakfast buffet is tasty but quite expensive, while the Yard House restaurant has several reasonably priced and tasty options for lunch or dinner. There are also plenty of other restaurants nearby. Gluten-free options: the breakfast buffet is clearly labeled for allergens, with a decent selection available every day. The Yard House do gluten free buns or lettuce wrap burgers, as well as special versions of several other dishes (and two gluten free beers to choose from). The conference facilities are good and they have plenty of large meeting rooms organized in a fairly centralized way, making meeting up with colleagues pretty easy even at a large meeting. The alcohol prices at conference events are pretty extortionate, but that seems to be the case everywhere.
