Radisson Hotel

M friend rented out ballroom for an event we had. Rooms were not the best but we were able to rent out the floor so it made it worth it. Staff was friendly didn’t gave us all late check outs.

We stayed here with a group for a Rugby tournament — and the hotel was woefully unprepared.
They ran out of food at breakfast today, Sunday, and there was no fruit. They had a 3 gallon water dispenser for 200 people and on Sunday they had plastic table wear and even ran out of that.
My room wasn’t cleaned Saturday and the Internet is 1990’s slow.
This was a management disaster.

OK, I have NOT stayed with Radisson for a while…
Here are the quick highlights:
1. Small parking lot, evening was almost impossible to park. There were a few cars waiting ahead of me but I got super lucky and parked within 5 minutes.
2. (GOOD) Front entrance was definitely re-​done recently, I can smell the fresh paint. (I was told by another guest who overheard this just got re-​branded from Red Lion).
3. Once I got in though, you can tell the interior for most the rooms are still the older property set up… stain marks on wall, cracked outlets, mold on corner of windows… etc.
4. Check-​in: was a breeze. Not. I waited 10 – 15 min at front desk, along with 3 other guests. With the phones ringing off the hook (at least 2 separate ones, because when the front desk lady (who happened to be the same lady, who was unhelpful! what a coincidence!) finally showed up, she had to put someone on hold, and get to the second line, then back to the first phone line. While keeping the 3 of us standing around, and no staff came to help/​support her, nor any of the 3 of us. Then finally it is our turn! 20 minutes after I originally showed up waiting to check in. Yay!
5. Now in my room and trying to unpack and charge my items. Desk outlet does not work, stained towels… Minor things I suppose. I decided to overlook this part.
6. (GOOD) free wifi, no password needed when connecting to their public Radisson wifi!
7. (side story) Last time I came with my colleague (who stayed here), seek assistance from front desk on where UPS is… Front desk lady (older lady, maybe not tech savy) said let me check on this for you… (10+ min went by while we waited by the front desk… she disappeared, and we ended up just google map the place… end up telling us that it is nearby, thanks… for your help).
Service: Poor
Cost: cheap (below average price point per night)
Conclusion:
The place is relatively low cost, easy on most travelers’ budget (I guess it is what you paid for). I booked too last minute and couldn’t get into any of the Starwood or IHG properties (which I have high status for). Bummer for me.
I would NOT choose to come back if I don’t have to. Prefer to go elsewhere if I can.
PS: There are no mini fridge or microwave for public use, unless you are at one of the business suites. FYI to those who use such amenities.
I agree with most of the reviews on this property.
Most of the Holiday Inn in Denver is outclassing this Radisson.

Just like a number of the other reviews the best part of this hotel is the lobby and the helpful person checking us in after a long day. The bed was horrible despite being a king-​size Sleep Number. Never worked, it was like sleeping in a deflated waterbed. I booked two rooms for my family. Neither room had a microwave or refrigerator. The toilet barely flushes, some type of low-​flow new design and ran periodically. So much for saving water. The room was very dark. The Wi-​Fi service was marginal at best dropping our devices routinely. And the night stand and bathroom counter top were dirty.

I was required to stay at this hotel for ten days, for work travel. The hotel seems to have several maintenance issues.
My phone would not dial the front desk, only the operator. The phone flashed with a red message light for the first 4 days. It would not clear.
The heater ran continuously; there’s no «auto» setting. I tried several times to put it on auto with no luck. The heater is loud and the room gets too hot sometimes. I emailed the front desk supervisor. He never responded to my maintenance issues. Finally, I learned to just leave the heater off unless it was unbearably cold. When it got REALLY cold, I left the heater on and it would run for about twenty minutes then suddenly switch to COOL. Go figure!
Each morning, I had difficulty getting the shower started and got water on my clothes. The shower knob was barely attached. On Saturday, I had no hot water. After an hour of calling back and forth to the desk, they said it was a boiler issue and to let the water run. I did that and the water just eventually shut off. I called the operator and reached «Will.» He said he would speak with the engineer and then call me back. After not hearing from him, I had to take the cold shower due to time constraints. I’m sick and certainly can’t benefit from an ice cold shower. After the cold shower, I tried to use the phone and it completely doesn’t work. As I was drying my hair, my hairdryer electricity shut off too. Throughout my stay, I continued to hear several people complaining of cold showers.
The food was good, overall. They serve the same thing every day for breakfast.
The Gift Shop was overpriced; a 20 oz bottle of soda was $ 3. Housekeeping and cleanliness was acceptable overall. The shuttle was efficient. No complaints there.

So if you like a sleep number bed but don’t like that pesky remote that adjusts the bed, so it’s just right (who knows if it even works). Then this place is for you. If you like Luke warm showers then this place is for you. If you like the carpet in the hallway to be bunched up in the middle, so you trip walking to your room then this place is for you. If you like disgusting eggs that probably came out of a box for breakfast then this place is for you. If you like wifi that is intermittent at best then this place is for you. There might only be 2 redeemable qualities at this hotel. The bar is great, with good beer and decent food. The other redeeming quality is the enterprise rental car located at the hotel.

«I’m only here so I don’t get fined.»
~Marshawn Lynch~ on his stay at the Radisson in Aurora, CO
The first floor is incredible the customer service and staff are excellent.
Once you step off the elevator to go to your room the glory fades. The hallways at the elevator exits are filthy. Then when you open the door to your room it’s a dice roll. Dice roll being your room might have a sleep number bed. Might have an old mattress with sheets that don’t fit. Might have a microwave, a refrigerator or if your lucky both. Might get a clean room. The lighting in the rooms is bad. The fact that the staff are friendly can’t mask the fact that this place needs to renovate more than the lobby. They need to take care of the spaces that customers pay for, this means, the rooms.
I know one star might seem harsh but keep in mind this is «The Radisdon.» Holiday Inn is outclassing this Radisson. This hotel is terribly inconsistent I’m only here because my jobs paying for it.

Here’s the good: The linens were clean. The lighting in my room was good (hate those dim lights that make it hard to read). The meeting rooms were adequate. The bartender was friendly and competent.
Here’s the bad: Everything else. Seriously.
Major traffic noise outside. I normally sleep like a log, so it really has to be loud for me to complain. Paper-​thin walls such that I heard every single word of the conversations the woman next door was having. And she was talking in a normal voice — not loud at all!
Shower was either blisteringly hot or unpleasantly chilly. I fiddled with it for more than ten minutes and could not get a decent balance to save my soul. Finally ended up giving myself a sponge bath using the hot water. Which still left me freezing because the air in the room was so cold (see below).
The room temperature was chilly — at least 8 – 10 degrees below the hallway temperature. I don’t mind a refreshing room (my home thermostat is usually set at 68, down to 62 at night) but this was beyond refreshing. I tried numerous times to get my in-​room HVAC unit to work — nada. Literally *none* of the buttons on the thing had any effect.
Wifi was alternately fine and sloooooooooow.
Bathroom had the bare minimum amenities. By that I mean shampoo, conditioner, lotion — that’s it. No shower cap. No other toiletries. (But at least it was clean.)
Toilet flushed so slowly and water pressure was so poor that I was half-​afraid it was going to stop working altogether.
The elevators were also incredibly slow. And while the meeting rooms on the lobby level were normal temp (probably 70 degrees?), those on the lower level were frigid (maaaybe 60).
Oh, and I almost forgot: the reason I know the bartender is nice? Because when I went to eat lunch (at a totally normal 1pm) THE RESTAURANT WAS CLOSED. No reason. No explanation. Just a sign saying they were closed. Given that I was stuck here without a car and it seemed like highway insanity, I didn’t think there was anything in walking distance. So I wandered into the hotel bar and asked if they served food. Yup. So I got an adequate lunch. No thanks to the restaurant — seriously, they couldn’t be bothered to put up a sign saying «But you can get food at the bar?» Nope.
Oh right. And there was a fire alarm. But at least that happened during daylight hours.

Wow after reading the reviews here, I’m not sure if I’m even at the same hotel. Our room was spotless, the shower was clean, the air conditioner wasn’t loud & the staff were super friendly. Decided to stay another night. So yeah I would recommend this hotel.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!
I have never in my entire life taken the time to write either a good or bad review, but this here is an exception. The experience I had at the Radisson was absolutely horrendous. The rooms are extremely dirty and outdated, the parking lot was constantly full, and the absolute worst part was the staff. After noticing that the pool was foggy, I brought it to the attention of the receptionists who declared, «sorry I just got here it’s not my problem.» I highly recommend finding another hotel to stay at, trust me. It’s not worth staying here for anything!

One of the WORST hotels I’ve ever stayed in! Most 6’s look and feel better than this place. #1 and MOST IMPORTANT! My room didn’t not secure when I left the room! Do not leave ANYTHING behind and check your door to make sure it’s locked upon leaving. Many rooms do not have refrigerators not microwaves. Don’t be fooled when they try to charge you a fee daily for a fridge. We went as a group for training, one of our co-​workers had his fridge stolen!
Hotel looks elegant & clean in the lobby, gym, etc.. Rooms however, are HORRIBLE & UNSAFE!

I don’t think it’s as bad as listed here. It is older but our room was clean and the toilet is low to the ground, but I’m short so no worries here. What did cost them a star was their front desk person Stephanie who personifies rude service. She rolls her eyes when you ask her anything and comes across like you popped over her house unannounced for an impromptu toga party. Hopefully they will remedy this.

I REALLY hope Radisson reads this. I traveled here on business for 5 days and I will recommend my company no longer use it. Here’s the breakdown of the problems:
1. Towel shelf IN the shower that I kept hitting my head on.
2. Mold I’m the shower grout.
3. Weird stain/​substance in the sink drain.
4. Toilet had no pressure and sometimes had to be flushed several times.
5. Toilet seat/​lid barely attached.
6. Maids saw that I was down to less than a quarter roll of toilet paper and didn’t change out rolls.
7. Dresser drawer smelled of baby vomit (what can I say? I have a couple of kids and THAT was the odor)
8. Extremely loud a/​c that switched on and off constantly.
9. There was some sort of convention for government employees and they had several passenger vans for shuttling. Instead of asking the drivers to park them around back to leave spots open for everyone else, the 8 – 10 vans were parked in front and these are not little vans. Same issue with a bus.
10. Walls being paper thin would be an insult to paper.
11. Bar was extremely loud.
12. No one told me about the provided breakfast so I didn’t know about slips of paper I was supposed to provide for payment. Also, expected more food wise. It was set up nicely but food was not impressive.
13. (This is for all hotels) its 2015, can we replace the $ 10 coffee pots with Keurig’s?

I’d like to thank the Radisson hotel for reaffirming my belief in customer service. The staff has been friendly, accommodating, and most of all good at what they do. The room is like most rooms but the bed was first class.
Thank you for a great stay.

Bar review only
So… been passing by this place for many years and finally made the curves and roundabouts n sped Into this classy hotel. Walked right thru the check in and headed st8 to the bar. Very nice and clean and cool on this stuffy afternoon.
I got the Colorado Native on tap from Golden brewry and it was served very cold, just the way I like it n only $ 5. They were out of my 98 Shieling but will be back for that.
It’s hotel bar… but surprisingly welcoming and good place to just relax with your pint, read paper and watch the sports or whatever tickles your fancy. I might just make the pit stop while riding around Cherry Creek reservoir.
One thing interesting.. I see a familiar face at the bar. he must be making pit stop everywhere I go…
Parking is ok. If you want to eat other than the restauant here, drive few minutes on 225 toward Iliff (next exit) n will have plenty of choices. At least you have marijuana shop within walking distance (haha). tow of them.

Yeah pretty, pretty, pretty bad here. Every corner was cut when designing the rooms. There isn’t a sitting chair, room service menu, TV channel listing, rinsing cup for brushing your teeth. Small TV. Hell the air conditioner isn’t even central. It’s a large wall unit!!! Wtf!!! No bath robe and super small bathroom with teeny tiny sink space.
As for the hotel, it’s so so. Room service ends at 9pm. Who the hell does that? Restaurant closes at 9 as well. For those weary travellers like myself who just got in from a 4 hour flight, having no food available sucks hardcore.
Pool is broken and hot tub too although I’m sure that will get fixed in due time. But, it’s small as well.
Popcorn ceilings.
The location of the hotel is awful. No surrounding businesses or eateries but perhaps that’s just a Colorado thing. It doesn’t appear too much goes on around here.
I will not stay here again.

I had high hopes for this hotel. From my reading a Radisson is supposed to be on the level of a Hyatt Regancy. However this was not the case.
Upon entry the lobby was recently remodeled and quite pleasing to the eye. The staff behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming. A bar is located in the lobby and can become pretty loud.
Once arriving to our room this is when the good turned to well bad. After a long drive the first thing in order was to use the facilities. The sink and countertop in the bathroom stopped at 2in above my knee. I understand I’m 6′ 4″ but come on. The next huge disappointment is the toilet. This thing was built for Tyrion Lannister! Please see uploaded photo. The flushing power was as good as an evaporating puddle. Next stop here was the bed. Upon booking it’s well said that every room has a sleep number. We thought oh this should be nice since we are used to a Temper Pedic at home. Well the controller was broken so you couldn’t read the air pressure. It was like laying on a 2000’s version of a rock hard water bed. The motion of water but the stiffness of a rock. The air settings once it actually started working were stiff and stiffer.
Needless to say this is my first and last experience with a Raddisson. I’m not sure what the going rate normally is since we use Priceline but I’m assuming it’sore than a Holiday Inn Express and you’ll be much more comfortable their.

Sigh.
The good: our room was clean, the towels were clean, and it’s in a safe location.
Really, that’s it.
The bad: our bed was horribly uncomfortable. This hotel boasts Sleep Number beds, and we figured those had to be pretty comfy. Not the case. Neither me or the hubby got a decents night sleep in our 3 day stay. Additionally, the toilet and counter in our bathroom were so low they were awkward to use. I’m an average height and the counter with the sink in it didnt even hit mid thigh on me. The toilet was level with the bathtub. The staff was nowhere to be found while teenagers ran up and down the halls screaming at all hours. The elevators are insanely slow, and there are only 3 in the main lobby. The gift shop is ridiculously expensive (it cost us $ 10 for two candy bars and a bottle of water.)
Long story short, don’t let the pictures online and the nice lobby fool you. The rooms are horribly outdated, the parking lot is tiny, and it really isn’t worse staying here. One of the worst stays we have had in a LONG time.

Disappointed in this hotel. I called the front desk to confirm they could charge room service for my room to the company card used to book my room. They checked and told me they could. Spent two nights here. Breakfast for two consisted of an egg, multi grain toast, fruit, and two sausage paddies with a cup of milk, for each of us. Came out to $ 41.00 both mornings and the first time they forgot the toast.
Then on checkout I was told it was billed to my card used for check in. $ 82.00 for two mornings of skimpy breakfasts for two.
Never using a Radisson again.

I like to stop here every once in awhile just for a coffee on my way to work so it’s pretty convenient
