Denver Tech Center's BEST Kept Secret: Residence Inn Review!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the Residence Inn in the Denver Tech Center! Forget those sterile, corporate reviews; this is going to be REAL. Think less perfectly curated Instagram and more chaotic, messy-but-delicious life.
Denver Tech Center's BEST Kept Secret: Residence Inn Review! (Or, My Accidental Oasis)
Let's be honest, the Denver Tech Center? Sounds about exciting as watching paint dry, right? Wrong. Okay, maybe mostly right. BUT, hidden amidst those towering office buildings is a secret weapon for weary travelers, bleary-eyed business folks, and even families: the Residence Inn. And let me tell you, it's NOT just another cookie-cutter hotel.
Accessibility: A Gold Star for Inclusion!
Okay, first off, huge props on the accessibility front. This isn't just lip service; it's LEGIT. Wheelchair accessible areas are plentiful, and I saw ramps, elevators, and thoughtfully designed spaces everywhere. My own experience wasn't tied to accessibility, but seeing how well-catered they are for those who do need it warmed this cynical heart. The elevator is a lifesaver, especially after a long day of meetings (or, you know, just wandering around trying to find the coffee shop).
The Internet: My Constant Companion (and Occasionally, My Enemy)
Let's talk internet. This is crucial, folks. We live in the information age. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and that glorious Wi-Fi in public areas – YES! Thank the internet gods. I gotta say, though, sometimes the Wi-Fi felt…let's say…spirited. Sporadically it went full-on dial-up mode. I’m talking, I have a better connection in the mountains. (It happened to me once while I was trying to stream a movie after a tiring day, It was a tragedy.) But the Internet access – wireless in my room was generally solid. The Internet access – LAN was there, but who uses that anymore, amirite?
Cleanliness and Safety: Did They REALLY Clean? (Spoiler Alert: Yes!)
Okay, I'm a total germaphobe (don’t judge). But I'm serious about cleanliness these days. This place felt clean. The rooms are sanitized between stays, the daily disinfection in common areas was noticeable, and I saw evidence of professional-grade sanitizing services. The hotel boasts many features to make you feel safe. Honestly, this kind of attention to detail is huge. Knowing they use anti-viral cleaning products just put my mind at ease. There were also a ton of hand sanitizers everywhere – no excuses for germ spreaders! And don't forget the staff trained in safety protocol. It was good to see.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Hustle (and the Hangry!)
Alright, food, food, food! This is where the Residence Inn really shines. I am a foodie at heart, or, I should say heart and stomach.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Okay, the breakfast buffet is included. I made a beeline for it every single morning. Think waffles, eggs, and all kinds of other delicious stuff. They even had Asian breakfast options – a nice touch!
- Coffee/tea in restaurant & Coffee Shop: I'm a caffeine addict, so this was key. The coffee was surprisingly decent.
- Restaurants: There are restaurant options nearby. This is the thing, the food delivery option is a game changer. Late-night cravings? Solved.
- Snack bar: Not a gourmet experience, obviously, but perfect for a quick bite.
- Breakfast takeaway service: Perfect if you are in a rush
- Bottle of Water: Always a nice touch.
Room Sweet Room (or, My Temporary Fortress)
The rooms? They’re a total win. Think clean, comfy, and functional. Let's break it down.
- Air conditioning: Definitely a must in Denver.
- Blackout curtains: Essential for sleeping in after, you know, “networking” the night before.
- Coffee/tea maker: My morning savior. Crucial for survival.
- Complimentary tea, free bottled water, extra long bed: Heaven!
- Desk, laptop workspace: Work-friendly, perfect for those late-night emails.
- Free Wi-Fi: Obviously.
- Hair dryer, iron, ironing facilities, mini-bar: All the basics covered.
- Non-smoking rooms: Essential.
- Refrigerator: Hello, leftover pizza!
- Seating area, sofa: Nice for lounging.
- Telephone: In case you need to call someone.
- Bathrobes, slippers: Luxury!
- Bathroom phone: For those emergency calls in the bath (kidding… mostly).
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of Everything!
This place is LOADED with conveniences.
- Cash withdrawal: Super handy.
- Concierge: Helpful for getting your bearings.
- Daily housekeeping: Always a plus.
- Dry cleaning, laundry service, Ironing service: For the business travelers.
- Elevator: Because stairs are the worst.
- Facilities for disabled guests: Kudos again!
- Gift/souvenir shop: Because you always forget a gift.
- Luggage storage: Perfect for early arrivals/late departures.
- Meeting/banquet facilities: For all your corporate needs.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always good to have.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: You're On Vacation!
Okay, okay, so it's the DTC. But this place even has some relaxation options!
- Fitness center, Gym/fitness: Beat the boredom! Get a workout in.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Perfect for a post-meeting dip (in season, of course).
- Sauna: If you fancy, or need to detox yourself.
Important: The Quirks, the Imperfections, and the Realness.
No place is perfect. Here are a couple of things that weren't flawless:
- Wi-Fi blips (as mentioned).
- Sometimes, the hallways felt a little echo-ey.
For the Kids: Are They Welcome?
This is where you will find that they are very family/child friendly, the babysitting service is available.
Getting Around:
- Car park [free of charge]: Saves you a ton!
- Airport transfer: If you need it.
- Car park [on-site]: Convenient.
My Verdict: The Residence Inn is a Winner!
Overall? Seriously, this place is a gem. It's the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and (dare I say it?) charm. The Residence Inn isn't just a hotel; it's a sanctuary.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sanitized, perfectly-planned itinerary. This is me at the Residence Inn Denver Tech Center. Let's see how this goes, shall we?
Residence Inn Denver Tech Center – A Cluster of Feelings, Basically (Let's Call it "Operation Get Away From It All…Maybe?")
Day 1: Arrival and the Glorious Struggle Against the Hotel Fridge
- 3:00 PM (ish): Arrive. Or rather, wrestle with the rental car. Seriously, the GPS in these things… it's like it actively wants you to get lost. Finally, I stumble into the Residence Inn. It's… beige. Beige, beige, beige. But hey, clean-ish. That's a win, right?
- 3:30 PM: Check-in. The desk attendant is suspiciously chipper. Clearly, she's immune to jet lag. I'm already contemplating the existential dread of unpacking.
- 4:00 PM: Room. Okay, not bad. King bed. Tiny little kitchen – the bane of my existence, because I always think I’m gonna cook. Then I remember I burn toast regularly and my dreams of home-cooked meals evaporate. The fridge, though. The fridge. It hums at a frequency that seems specifically designed to grate on my nerves. I'm already plotting a silent battle of wills with it.
- 5:00 PM: Explore. Mostly just pacing the room and feeling grumpy. Found the complimentary coffee station downstairs. Instant coffee. Instant. My soul weeps. But, caffeine is caffeine. Commence the caffeine-fueled grumpiness.
- 6:00 PM: Grocery store raid. The goal? Snacks. Lots and lots of snacks. Also, a half-hearted attempt at buying something healthy, which inevitably fails. End up with chips, cookies, and a sad-looking apple. I’m a marvel of self-deception.
- 7:00 PM: Back in the room. Fridge still humming. Unpack. This is worse than I thought. I hate packing and unpacking. It's like a mini-adventure in frustration. The chips and cookies are already starting to disappear.
- 8:00 PM: Contemplating the Denver skyline (from my window). It’s… there. Not the Empire State building, but whatever. The quiet is nice, though. For the first time all day, I don't want to scream.
Day 2: The Great Outdoors (and Why I’m Not a Hiking Person)
- 7:00 AM (ish): The fridge HAS to be mocking me. I swear it's humming louder. Grab a coffee. The instant coffee is… functional. I’m starting to see it the way a prisoner would see a cigarette.
- 8:00 AM: Attempted exercise. There's a little "fitness center" (read: tiny room with treadmills that look like they've seen better days) at the hotel. Managed a pathetic 20 minutes on a treadmill. I'll be sore tomorrow.
- 9:00 AM: Driving to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Stunning. Seriously, breathtaking. I’m getting a tiny bit of wanderlust.
- 9:30 AM: Hiking! (Sort of.) Okay, it was more like a slightly strenuous walk. But the views! The air! The feeling of being slightly less of a couch potato! (Until I get back to the cookie supply, of course).
- 11:30 AM: Lunch. Found a charming little cafe near Red Rocks. Food was really good and the small talk was not bad at all.
- 1:00 PM: Back at the hotel. Nap time. Embrace the comfy bed, this is the best part of the day.
- 3:00 PM: Shopping at a shopping mall. I found a new book.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Room service. A burger. The hotel burger is a classic.
Day 3: Museum Madness and Existential Fridge Battles
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. More instant coffee. Fridge continues its silent torment. Decide to start unplugging it.
- 9:00 AM: The Denver Art Museum. Okay, it's awesome. Really thought-provoking. I end up getting lost in a hallway of abstract paintings and feeling simultaneously inspired and utterly baffled. Like, what in the world am I supposed to feel about that splatter of blue paint?
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at a cafe near the museum. I'm starting to like this place.
- 2:00 PM: The Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Dinosaurs! Space stuff! I’m basically a kid in a giant (and overly air-conditioned) candy store.
- 5:00 PM: Back to the hotel. The fridge is still mocking me with its humming.
- 6:00 PM: I order Thai food. And a beer. And maybe a cheese cake. Because, why not?
- 7:00 PM: I eat the Thai food. The beer. The cheesecake. The fridge continues to mock me, but now I am far less bothered.
Day 4: The Long Goodbye (and the Unsung Hero of the Hotel)
- 7:00 AM: The last instant coffee. The fridge is… quiet. Have I won?
- 8:00 AM: Pack up my stuff for my trip back.
- 9:00 AM: Check-out. The desk attendant is still suspiciously cheerful.
- 9:30 AM: Back to the airport.
- 11:00 AM: Flight back home. Arriving back feels like the best part of the trip.
Final Thoughts:
Look, the Residence Inn Denver Tech Center isn't the most glamorous place on earth. But it was clean. It had a bed. It served as a decent base for my little mini-adventure. And most importantly, the distance from my daily grind has been refreshing. The fridge, though… that fridge. It will haunt my memories. Still, the trip was enjoyable and the memories are good.

Denver Tech Center's "Best Kept Secret"? My Honest (and Slightly Chaotic) Residence Inn Review!
Is this place *really* a "best kept secret" as everyone claims?
Okay, look. "Best kept secret" is a STRONG claim. Honestly? I think it *used* to be. The whispers started a few years back, you know, "The Residence Inn DTC? Oh my god, you HAVE to try it, the breakfast is INSANE." Now? It's, well, still pretty darn good, but the secret's out. You'll find it's a solid choice, but everyone and their grandma (literally, I saw a few) knows about it. Still, for DTC? Yeah, it's a win. It's not the Ritz, but it's way better than some of the sad, soulless hotels lurking nearby. But a secret? Nah, not anymore.
Breakfast – the legendary breakfast! Does it live up to the hype?
Alright, here's the breakdown on the breakfast: It's GOOD. *Really* good. Think of it as a solid, dependable breakfast buffet. Waffles? Check. Scrambled eggs? Check. Sausage, bacon, often even some kind of potato creation that's usually pretty tasty. Their "build your own" yogurt parfait station is a lifesaver in the mornings when I'm running late! The coffee? Not bad. But don't expect gourmet *food*. You're not going to be writing home about the chef's innovative omelet. What you *will* get is a consistent, filling, and sometimes slightly chaotic (especially on weekends when the families descend) way to kick off your day! I vividly remember one morning I was trying to get a waffle whilst dealing with my toddler, it was pure chaos, but I made it out in one piece! And stuffed my face in the process. They definitely are pro-family!
The Rooms: Are they… room-y?
Yes! That's the beauty of Residence Inns. The rooms are *spacious*. You get a little kitchen area, a sofa, and a separate bedroom. It’s a godsend if you're traveling with kids or, like me, just enjoy spreading out. I *hate* feeling cramped in a hotel room, and this place delivers on space. Remember that time I was stuck there for a week due to that snowstorm? I basically *lived* in that room. I cooked, I binge-watched Netflix (thanks, little kitchen!), and I didn't feel like I was going stir-crazy. That extra space? Priceless. Especially when you’re trying to work and not feel like you're living on top of your suitcase. The feeling of space makes a world of difference.
How's the location? Is it actually convenient for DTC?
Oh, YES. Absolutely. Dead center of DTC. Walking distance to restaurants, decent proximity to public transit (light rail, which is a lifesaver), and a quick hop to the highway. Perfect for getting around to meetings, grabbing dinner, or just escaping to the mountains on the weekend (which, let's be honest, is what everyone *really* wants to do in Colorado). It's not right on a major thoroughfare, which is nice for noise levels, but the downside is that you might get stuck in traffic trying to get *out* of the DTC, which is a plague. But overall? Location is a huge plus.
The "Amenities" – pool, gym, etc.?
Okay, let's get real. The pool is…fine. It's indoors, which is good for chilly Colorado evenings, but not exactly the most glamorous pool you've ever seen. The gym? Small, but functional. Machines that work, some weights, the basics. I use it, sometimes. Okay, maybe I use it…occasionally. Look, if you’re a serious gym rat, it won’t blow your mind, but it’ll get the job done if you want to squeeze in a quick workout. Honestly, my favorite amenity is the free Wi-Fi. Because, well, work. And streaming. Priorities, people.
The Staff? Are they nice?
The staff? They're lovely. Truly. Always friendly, helpful, and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Check-in is always smooth, and they're surprisingly quick to fix anything that goes wrong (which is rare, to be honest). There was this one time I locked myself *out* of my room at like, midnight, after a really long day. I was tired, hangry, and probably not at my best. The guy at the front desk was so incredibly patient and understanding, and actually made me laugh. Little things like that make all the difference. Makes you feel like you're genuinely being taken care of, not just ‘processed’. They're the unsung heroes, really.
The Downside? What are the things I need to be aware of or prepare for?
Okay, let's be honest (again). No hotel is perfect. Here's the lowdown:
- Weekend Crowds: The breakfast gets *packed* on weekends, thanks to families. Be prepared to wait for waffles (or strategically maneuver your way to the waffle maker).
- Pricing: Prices fluctuate. Sometimes you'll score a great deal, other times… not so much. Always check rates and compare.
- Noise Potential: While generally quiet, you *can* get some noise from other rooms or the occasional hallway chaos. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper(me!).
- Elevator: there is only one, be prepared to wait, especially during peak hours.
- Parking: It's free, but can fill up, especially during events in the area.
Final Verdict: Should I stay here?
Yeah, absolutely. If you're looking for a solid, reliable hotel option in DTC, this is a great choice. It's not perfect, but it delivers on the essentials: good location, spacious rooms, decent breakfast, and friendly service. It’s perfect for business travelers, families, and anyone who appreciates a little extra space. It’s not a luxury experience, but it’s comfortable, convenient, and generally a pleasant place to stay. Just don't expect a "secret." The word's out, and for good reason. Go, enjoy the waffles, and don't forget to bring your noise-canceling headphones, just in case! You won't regret it. You'll probably see me there...grabbing another coffee.
