Econo Lodge Denver International Airport

Punti positivi: Staff was friendly. Ease of access to Denver Int'l Airport and plenty of restaurants and bars around for food or a late night drink.

Punti negativi: Hotel smelled of cigarette smoke and was very hot in the common areas. The air conditioning had obviously not been operated in many months. The hallway my room was located on reeked of pot and the room itself smelled very musty like wet dog which fortunately passed after several minutes of acclimation. I checked the bed for bedbugs and luckily didn't locate any. The room's decor / furniture was very old and probably hadn't been updated in at least two decades. The bed was serviceable but thin enough I could feel the springs ... a pillow top it was not. Bathroom facilities were average but the hot water ran out during my shower. "Continental breakfast" was oatmeal and banana and other basic options. At least with the money saved on the room I could afford a real breakfast elsewhere.

Punti positivi: The front desk woman was absolutely wonderful!

Punti negativi: Smoky Smell and just not the accommodations that bring out the creativity I needed

Punti positivi: They gave us extra shampoo/conditioner upon request.

Punti negativi: None of the door keys worked. We had to have staff open the door if we left the room, or leave it open!! Not secure or convenient. Shower leaked all over the floor. Toilet required the tank lid to be removed to quit filling. We weren't there long, but would not go back. :[

Oh My Gawd

Punti positivi: There was a string of Christmas lights on the breakfast counter.

Punti negativi: I want to start off by saying: I don't make it a habit to intentionally stay in awful hotels. But when I'm traveling for quick, tactical purposes, I go for price and (perceived) value over luxury. Laying wide awake all night on the most uncomfortable bed invented by man is not value. Or tolerable. Or humane. The walls are paper thin (you hear any of the 80+ lodgers' televisions all night). The towels and sheets smell like they've been soaking in grime and smoke for 35 years. My mattress was made of horribleness. The pillows actually made me lol. The tininess and awfulness of the rooms may actually drive you into an irrevocably enraged and exhausted state. But in the end, it's all up to you :)

Punti negativi: Found it difficult to have a restful night's sleep as I was woken repeatedly by noise and loud voices from adjacent room from midnight to 4 am. Thin walls. After that restless night, was woken again by housekeeping staff who were yelling to each other outside of guests rooms despite numerous do not disturb signs. All I wanted was to rest, and this hotel disappointed.

Bad Timing

Punti positivi: I liked that they worked with me to get back refund.

Punti negativi: AC was not working, they knew it but didn't say anything even after I asked. Charged me for one night even after checking out 30 min after I was there.
