Denver's BEST Kept Secret: SpringHill Suites Westminster!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Denver's BEST Kept Secret: SpringHill Suites Westminster! Forget your fancy downtown hotels with the pretense and the price tags. This place? This is it. This is your escape. Your low-key luxury hideaway. And yes, even with my usual chaotic, stream-of-consciousness style, I'm gonna break it down, promise.
Let's be honest, the words "SpringHill Suites" don't exactly scream "luxury spa retreat," but you know what? This place delivers a surprisingly fantastic experience. This isn't a sterile, cookie-cutter hotel; it actually feels like a place you could, you know, live in for a few glorious days.
First Impressions & That All-Important Accessibility:
Okay, so, accessibility is HUGE for me (and should be for everyone). SpringHill Suites Westminster? They actually get it. Right from the get-go, I noticed the wheelchair accessibility was legitimately good. Wide doorways? Check. Elevators that work smoothly? Double-check. Facilities for disabled guests aren’t just a checkbox; there's clearly thought put into it. And as someone who appreciates a hotel doing the right thing, it's a big win right off the bat. Speaking of, that elevator? Essential. You don’t want to be hoofing it up stairs with luggage after a long flight. And for any of you with mobility issues, or even just lazy like me, that’s a lifesaver. Even the car park [free of charge] is easy to navigate, which is a massive plus since you'll wanna be able to get around Denver.
The Room – Your Personal Sanctuary
Let's talk ROOMS. Forget those shoebox-sized hotel rooms. These suites? They're… spacious. And bright! I’m a sucker for natural light, and the window that opens (gasp!) is a huge win. The blackout curtains? Also a godsend after a night of maybe-too-much-fun in Denver. Yes, those nights.
Okay, confession time: My first impression of a hotel room is always based on the bed. The extra long bed? Perfection. Seriously. Like, I'm talking, "I could legitimately live here" comfort level. And the linens? Soft. Clean. Heavenly. The bathrobes? I lived in those. Pure, unadulterated bliss. The bathroom itself had a decent sized shower, too. The mini bar wasn't overflowing with overpriced goodies, which is a relief (and a temptation avoided). And the refrigerator? Essential for keeping your celebratory beverages cold.
And yes, they have Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it's fast. I mean, I was even able to watch Netflix without incessant buffering while lounging on the couch. Speaking of which… Seating area? Check. Desk with ample space for actual work? Check. Ironing facilities for the, you know, slightly less-than-wrinkle-free clothes? Check.
Cleanliness & Safety - Peace of Mind (and Sanitizer!)
Alright, let's get serious for a second. In today's world, cleanliness is everything. I was super impressed with SpringHill Suites Westminster's commitment to hygiene. They're using anti-viral cleaning products, and there's hand sanitizer everywhere. The rooms sanitized between stays (and they let you opt-out of room sanitization if you like, which is nice). They even have professional-grade sanitizing services. I mean, I saw the cleaning crew, and they weren't just casually wiping down surfaces; they seemed to be attacking germs with the intensity of a special forces team. And the daily disinfection in common areas? Definitely gave me peace of mind. I'm a worrier, and honestly, seeing that kind of attention to detail put me at ease.
The Dining Scene – More Than Just a Breakfast Buffet
Okay, so the breakfast [buffet] is a must. It's not your run-of-the-mill continental breakfast; no siree! They've got all the usual suspects (eggs, bacon, pastries – bring on the carbs!), but the quality is actually pretty good. Fresh fruit, decent coffee… it's a great way to start the day before you are headed off to explore. They offer Breakfast takeaway service, too, perfect for those early morning adventures when you need to grab and go. And yes, there’s Coffee/tea in restaurant – and in your room. The coffee situation, I'm happy to report, is well-managed.
And because I know some of you are night owls (I see you!), they have 24-hour room service! It’s not the Ritz-Carlton room service, but it's pretty darn good.
The Amenities – Beyond the Basics (and a little bit of "Relaxation" rambles)
This is where SpringHill Suites Westminster really shines. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is beautiful. I didn’t personally take a dip (it was cold!), but I could imagine myself chilling there in the warmer months. And the best part? Pool with a view! You can also go to the Fitness center, which is pretty well-equipped. You know, if you're into that sort of thing (I wasn't. My idea of exercise is walking to the coffee machine). They don't advertise it, but I was also able to talk them into making a Body scrub for me!
They haven't got a full-blown spa, so you can't grab a full-on Massage experience here. You can probably still get a rub-down, though. I mean, maybe. Anyway, Ways to relax, yes! Even if it's just sinking into that ridiculously comfortable bed and binge-watching something on the satellite/cable channels.
Services & Conveniences - Because Life is Easier with a Little Help
The staff at SpringHill Suites Westminster are friendly and helpful. They clearly have Staff trained in safety protocol. They do a great job. They offer Concierge service. They have Daily housekeeping. The laundry service is a lifesaver. You can access cash withdrawal, if you need to. Now, about that convenience store they have… I may have purchased a ridiculous amount of snacks from there. Don’t judge.
For the Kids (and the Kid in You)
While I didn’t have children with me, I did see families, and they all seemed to be having a blast. It has Family/child friendly. There are Kids facilities. Also, let me just say, the pool is a win for kids. And the spacious suites? Plenty of room to run around (or for a family movie night).
Getting Around & Practicalities
Car park [free of charge] is a huge plus in the Denver area. And the airport transfer? Excellent. I'm a nightmare to deal with in the rush hour, so that was super helpful. They have a Taxi service.
Downsides (Because I’m Honest)
Okay, no hotel is perfect. The Happy hour situation could be improved (more options, please!). The decor, while perfectly fine, isn't exactly groundbreaking. But really, these are minor quibbles.
The Verdict: Denver's BEST Kept Secret? Absolutely!
SpringHill Suites Westminster is not just a good hotel; it's a great experience. It’s comfortable, it's convenient, it's clean, and it's genuinely welcoming. It’s a fantastic base for exploring the Denver area. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a solo escape, definitely book this hotel.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into a Westminster, Colorado adventure that promises less "perfect Instagram feed" and more "slightly-unhinged travel diary." We're talking Springhill Suites, Denver North/Westminster, and a whole lotta… well, let's just say "experiences." My brain, and my suitcase, are both overflowing with life, so let's just see where this goes, shall we?
Trip Title: Westminster Wonkiness & Mile-High Mayhem (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Hotel Breakfast)
Day 1: Arrival - The Great Unpacking Debacle, and the Quest for the Elusive Chili Cheese Fries
- 1:00 PM: Arrival at SpringHill Suites, Denver North/Westminster. Ugh, the drive. That's always the first hurdle, isn't it? I swear, I spend more time wrestling with GPS than actually seeing anything. Thankfully, the hotel exterior actually looked… tolerable. Not "Instagrammable," mind you, but definitely not actively offensive. Big win. (And a slight sigh of relief because I was convinced I accidentally booked, like, a motel in a drainage ditch).
- 1:30 PM: The Unpacking Tango. I pride myself on being a "light packer." (Narrator voice: She is not.) My suitcase, naturally, exploded the instant I unzipped it. It became a bizarre performance art piece of scattered socks, half-eaten granola bars, and a rogue tube of toothpaste that narrowly escaped the scene. I'm pretty sure the hotel staff heard my yelps of frustration.
- 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM: The Room Reconnaissance. Alright, the room. First impressions: clean-ish. The bed: comfy- looking. The bathroom: well, it has a shower. A victory. But then… DING DING DING the glorious smell of stale air. I am suddenly at home. I proceeded to open the window, which I was told, was a stupid move, because "it will be cold". A gamble, I was willing to take it.
- 3:30 PM: The Great Chili Cheese Fry Hunt. Okay, listen, I've been dreaming of this ever since I decided to come here. Seriously, the Yelp reviews for that particular local diner were glowing. After a solid hour of "trying to figure out how this remote works" (was it me, or are hotel remotes a conspiracy?), I was ready to venture forth.
- 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM: The Diner Debacle. Okay. Let's be honest. It was a little disappointing. The chili cheese fries were… fine. I wouldn't write home about them. But the other patrons? Now, those were something. A delightful mix of locals, tourists who looked as lost as me, and a guy wearing a cowboy hat who kept loudly debating politics. Absolutely no one seemed to care that I was there. Just another person with a fork chasing the cheese.
- 7:00 PM: Back to the Hotel (and Deep Regret). I ate some of that gross hotel candy I was warned about, then realized I left my favorite pillow in the car, and that there were no more chili cheese fries. Time to binge-watch some absolutely terrible TV and contemplate the meaning of life. And maybe order room service. Maybe not. I don't want to look like a slob.
Day 2: Hiking, History and the Dreaded Gym
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast Roulette. The free breakfast. Ah, the battleground of hotel mornings. My strategy? Survey the scene, assess the risk. The "fresh fruit": seemed to be staring lifelessly at me. The waffle maker: a gamble. The scrambled eggs, definitely pre-made, were surprisingly good. I'm not proud of it, but I ate four of them. All the while, there's a poor slob by the coffee machine, looking like he hasn't slept for days. I secretly wanted to ask him what was wrong, but did not want to make things weird.
- 9:00 AM: Hiking the Flatirons? I attempted to find some hiking. After a bit of online research, I chose something easy. Famous last words, right? Turns out easy is not the same as "not slightly terrifying." I mean, the views were amazing… but I might have teared up a little as I stared into the vast abyss of the horizon. The trail was also a bit crowded. The hiking was better than the drive though.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch and History! This felt like something I needed to do. I went to… some historical monument. I think it was a museum. I took a picture of what looked like a giant clock. I then went and sat alone in a park.
- 2:00 PM: (The Dreaded) Gym Time. I walked past the gym. Okay, I peered into the gym. The treadmill looked… intimidating. The weights, even more so. I may have briefly considered becoming a hermit. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to the gym. I feel like I'm already failing.
- 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Retail Therapy (and Existential Dread). I went shopping. I bought a weird hat, a book I'll never read, and a very expensive candle that smells like "alpine forest" in a desperate attempt to feel "cultured." I ended up feeling more broke (the hat was hideous). And now I'm questioning the capitalist system.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner – Alone Again, Naturally. Okay, I tried that local restaurant—recommended by a very friendly person near the bar. The food was, again, okay. The service, however, was fantastic. The waiter kept trying to make me laugh, and I genuinely did. It was nice. Then I got back to my room and felt lonely again.
Day 3: The Great Escape (And a Last-Minute Realization)
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast, The Sequel. Yep, those eggs again. This time, I added a rogue blueberry muffin (slightly stale, but I'm not complaining). The coffee guy was even more out of it today. I felt like I was looking in a mirror.
- 9:00 AM: Final Thoughts. Time to pack up and head home. It was an adventure. And I survived.
- 10:00 AM: Leaving the hotel. And then… I realized something. I was actually, kind of… happy. I mean, yeah, the chili cheese fries weren't the pinnacle of culinary achievement, and yes, the gym still holds a terrifying allure. But I did it. I came, I saw, I ate, I hiked (sort of), I shopped (again, for a terrible hat), I survived. I found a moment when I didn't want to be anywhere else in the world. That’s something, right?
- 11:00 AM: The Drive Home - Thinking about the next adventure. The drive back. Sigh. More GPS battles. Probably some accidental wrong turns. But with a smile.
So, there you have it. My Westminster, Colorado, unscripted travel adventure. Take from it what you will. Maybe you learned something. Maybe you're just feeling relieved that your own life isn't quite as messy as mine. Either way, remember, it's the imperfections that make the trip truly memorable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some more chili cheese fries. Just kidding… (maybe).
Whitehorse's BEST Kept Secret? This Hotel Will SHOCK You!
SpringHill Suites Westminster: Shhh! Don't Tell Everyone! (But Seriously, You Should Know...)
Okay, spill the beans. What's the *actual* deal with SpringHill Suites Westminster? Like, why is it a "secret"?
Alright, alright, fine! The secret's mostly this: it's *way* better than it has any right to be, for the price. It's like finding a hidden gem in a pile of… well, let's just say other Westminster hotels. You get spacious suites, a decent breakfast (more on that disaster later!), and it's surprisingly quiet considering its location. Plus, it's close to everything without *being* in the middle of the chaos of downtown Denver. Seriously, it's become my go-to for a quick weekend escape. I even *almost* don't want to share it, because I'm worried the price will skyrocket! Don't tell anyone I told you, alright?
The room is a suite, right? Like, actually a suite? And not just a slightly bigger room?
YES! It's a suite! It's a *real* living space. I actually like the little couch area— it's where I usually eat my takeout while watching a terrible reality show. And the separation between the living room and bedroom makes a HUGE difference. Seriously, I can actually work in the living room without feeling like I'm in the bedroom and being tempted to crawl into bed! It's a small win for productivity, I tell ya. There's usually a mini-fridge, which is crucial for storing snacks and hydrating beverages.
Let's talk breakfast because hotel breakfasts are usually... well... depressing. Is this one any different?
Okay, this is where things get... complicated. The "free" breakfast is a mixed bag and feels like a gamble. Sometimes it's genuinely good: fresh waffles, decent scrambled eggs (a revelation, I swear!), and actually *edible* bacon. Other times? Well, let’s just say I’ve seen better-looking food come out of a vending machine at 3 AM. The coffee is usually okay, but I usually end up running down the street to Starbucks before heading anywhere. Listen, I'm not expecting a Michelin star experience, but a consistently good breakfast would be nice! Inconsistent Breakfast is a bummer, but you can work with it.
What about the location? Is it actually convenient?
Convenient is an understatement! It’s RIGHT by the US-36, which makes getting to Boulder and Denver super easy. Also, the Promenade shopping center is practically across the street. (Pro tip: Avoid it on weekends unless you like crowds. I once spent 45 minutes looking for a parking spot, and almost missed my reservation at a delicious Italian joint because of the sheer amount of people there. But hey, the pizza was fantastic.) It's also close to a bunch of restaurants, all sorts of stores, and even a movie theater. I mean, everything is within a short distance, seriously.
Is it noisy? Hotels near highways can be torture.
Honestly, it's surprisingly quiet. I'm a light sleeper, and I've never had a major issue with noise. The walls seem pretty decent, and the windows do a good job of blocking out traffic sounds. I've heard some people complain about hearing hallway noise, but I tend to put in my earbuds, watch some Netflix and drift off to sleep. That being said, ask for a room away from the elevator, just to be safe. You know, the tiny things.
What's the deal with the pool and gym? Are they worth it?
The pool is... fine. It's an indoor pool, which is a bonus, especially during Denver's erratic weather. It's not huge, but it's good for a quick dip. The gym... well, it's a hotel gym. Expect some treadmills, some weights, and maybe a slightly dusty elliptical machine. It's enough to get a decent workout, but don't expect a state-of-the-art fitness experience. Honestly, I never use it. I end up walking around the Promenade instead and getting my steps in there. (Plus, shopping is cardio, right?)
Okay, fine, you've convinced me. What's the *worst* thing about SpringHill Suites Westminster? Be honest!
Okay, fine, here comes the ugly truth: the elevators. They can be slow. Especially during peak times, like breakfast or check-out. You might end up waiting a few minutes. It's a minor inconvenience, but it can be a real drag when you're hangry or late for something. And just the other day I waited for the elevator for what felt like an eternity when *I* was running late to a very important meeting, and I was SO annoyed! (I mean, I totally did fine in the end, but still, a bit of a test of your patience.) And, okay, I was in a rush, to begin with, and I'm prone to being dramatic, but still! It's a slight flaw. But it's the *only* real flaw I can think of!
Ever had a bad experience? Like, *really* bad?
Okay, there was this *one* time. It was during a blizzard. (Denver blizzards are no joke, people!) The power went out in the whole building. And, naturally, the elevators stopped working. I was on the 7th floor. And I was, like, *this close* to having a complete meltdown. I mean, 7 flights of stairs in a snowstorm? It was a nightmare. But, the staff was AMAZING! They were handing out flashlights, offering free hot chocolate, and they were so, so helpful. Okay, it technically wasn't a *perfect* experience, but they handled it with grace. I was able to make it down the stairs. And if a blizzard couldn't ruin it, it must be pretty sturdy!
So, bottom line: Should I book it?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and convenient stay in the Westminster area, SpringHill Suites is a solid choice. It's not perfect, but for the price, the location, and generally the service, it's the BEST. Just... maybe don't tell *everyone*, okay? We're trying to keep it our little secret. But, hey, at the end of the dayRest Nest Hotels
