Best Hotel Bargain
Denver’s free alternative weekly newspaper Westword has released its Best Of Denver selections for 2007. One of this year’s categories was most appropriately “Best Hotel Bargain”.
While there are many hotels to chose from in and around Denver, the Comfort Inn Downtown took the prize with its savings special on Midweek rates from $139.00 and Weekend rates from $109.00. With 231 newly renovated guest rooms and suites, free high-speed internet and all of the amenities of a luxury hotel, Comfort Inn Downtown serves as an extremely viable option when visiting Denver.
From Westword’s Best of Denver 2007:
Situated across Tremont Street from the legendary (and extremely expensive) Brown Palace Hotel, the Comfort Inn Downtown affords many of the same luxuries at a fraction of the price. Towering over the Brown at 24 floors, the Inn is less polished than its five-star counterpart, but the art-deco-style standard corner rooms feature comfy beds, floor-to-ceiling windows and spectacular panoramic views of the city. Suites are also available. Because the Comfort Inn is affiliated with the Brown, guests have access to the latter's 24-hour room service and spa, as well as other amenities. The difference is that after soaking up the ambience of the Brown's beautiful atrium lobby or Ship Tavern, Comfort guests can sneak back across the street to their humble digs, with an extra $200 of unspent cash in their wallets.
