Staybridge Suites Denver South-Park Meadows

Medical patients — this is a huge heads up if you need to refrigerate any medications. The refrigerators are a bit old, so the first time we stayed there, it started defrosting. The second time, I think it fully defrosted.
So, we lost ~$ 6500 of meds due to the warm refrigerator. The staff is super nice and offered us a few free nights. They also filed an insurance claim on our behalf for a possible loss.
However, this is a huge mess. A few nights of hotel is obviously not the same as $ 6500.
The reason this gets more complicated is our health insurance policy covers meds, until you reach a cap, after which point, you have no coverage. So, our receipts show we paid nothing for the medications. However, once we hit our cap later this year, we will have to pay everything. So from how things look now, my guess is we will have to replace $ 6500 of meds out of pocket because we lost those meds earlier.
Even if we are able to eventually work this out with insurance, dealing with multiple insurance companies (their hotel insurance + our medical insurance) and chasing down tons of paperwork is NOT what you want to do.
Aside from this, the hotel staff is super nice and we loved staying here. Though, the hotel is slightly old — as you might be able to guess from the refrigerator issues.
I was about to give three stars — that’s the rating I’d give when I’d consider going back but wouldn’t go out of my to go there and wouldn’t recommend the place to others to stay. However, I think that three stars is misleading for medical patients who may be depending on a reliable refrigerator as part of the room.
We would still consider going back for a few reasons. If we go back, they’ve said we’ll receive a room with a new refrigerator. We might also consider using their refrigerator and asking them to store things there. (Though, when you have to take shots multiple times a day, that’s a big hassle to always have to ask folks for help.) That said, the convenience of having a 2-​bedroom suite is something we are looking for, and this was otherwise the best option we found.

The room was fabulous, but the staff was even better. From the front desk to the breakfast staff everyone was extremely nice.

Coming from Manor Vail to Staybridge is already a downgrade. Front desk was nice enough but when I got into my room– it just seemed so small and generic. The phone didn’t work, the fridge had nasty old pizza from the previous guest & there was nonstop barking from the dog in the room next door. I called (from my cell) and requested to be moved immediately.
I was moved into a quieter room on the 3^rd floor. My stay was for 5 nights. The toilet was constantly running the whole time and the noise was annoying– I just kept the door closed. My AC was not cold enough– I spent the entire week adjusting and trying the get it cold. Never happened. The 1^st floor had been flooded so the stench was so bad!!! They had it cleaned and it helped but the was still a looming odor.
The only highlight was the free alcohol during happy hour every evening.

I just received a very nice email from the manager of Staybridge Suites apologizing for the SNAFU and offering to fix it, so I’m bumping them back to three stars. I may give them another try and if things go well, I may reconsider my rating yet again.

I had camping reservations nearby and as soon as I pulled into town, thunderstorms opened up. I turned to Unilocal for an inexpensive, dog friendly room. When the guy on the phone quoted me $ 69, I figured this place would be shady as hell. Boy, was I wrong! This place is really nice and appears to be new or recently remodeled. Any place that allows dogs for a reasonable fee is a bonus in my book! They charge a $ 15 pet fee for the first night. There are doggy cleanup bags available, too.
The room was very nice with modern decorating. I was only staying for 1 night, but the kitchen setup was adequate for a longer term stay.
Unfortunately, I was out the door before the breakfast started, so I didn’t get to partake in that.
This wasn’t a planned stay, but I would absolutely stay here again if I happened to be in the area.

This place could be good. It has everything in place to create a nice stay. When we first checked in, and the first week, the staff was super friendly and helpful. The only complaint I had at all was that the halls are really warm during the day, and a lot of trash piles up around the outside doors. That’s all minor and no big deal. The breakfast area is really crowded and hectic in the mornings, and the carts in front of the laundry area block the hall and doorway out. Not an issue, unless there was a fire of course. But there wasn’t one, so we’re good. Where things took a nose dive is when we tried to upgrade our, and book it for a month + as we looked for a house. We toured the room choices, confirmed availabilities and looked forward to getting settled in. The following day we got our things packed for the room move, which was no small task. When I asked around 2:00pm when we could move to the other room, I got a flippant, «Oh, we forgot to tell you, the occupants wanted to stay another night, so we can’t move you.» How about informing us ASAP, not making me go down and remind you, after I spent the day packing our stuff for the move. How about you tell the current occupants the room was booked, and if they wanted to stay one additional night, they could go to another room. So this hotel chose to loose our business for one month +, for one nights extra stay from the other clients. That let us know how important our business was to them. It is hit or miss with Staybride hotels. They almost have it, but then their staff screws it up somehow.

I love this hotel. I stayed here for two weeks. The hotel staff from the general manager to the housekeeping team are all amazing. They are kind, helpful, and friendly. I am traveling with two little dogs. One is two pounds, the other six. The entire staff knows them. When we walk around the property my dogs are even greeted. They have free breakfasts which are great. Not like the ones at holiday inn express. Three nights a week they have happy hour including beer on tap. This Tuesday night there is someone coming in to give 15 minute massages during happy hour. I haven’t needed it, but know there is a shuttle and people are always using it to go to work, training, and even chemo appt. even the washer and dryers are free!

The Check in Parking sucks, this sums up the parts of this hotel I don’t like.
Everything else about it we loved.
The rooms were big and comfy. The beds great, and the pillow selection will fit any needs. We didn’t deal with a ton of people there, but everyone we dealt with was very friendly. We had a crying baby in the room next door, and they happily moved us upon request to another room.
the rooms have a full kitchen with everything you would need for a short or long stay. they even stock you with a microwaveable popcorn, that is great. Too often in situations such as that, they pair the popcorn and the microwave poorly and it either doesn’t pop enough, or burns. Yup, I know this is a silly small thing, but it was a memorable plus.
We did not get to experience either the dinner or happy hour, was we were not there at those times, but we did get to do the breakfast, which was very good. I wasn’t a big fan of the eggs or sausage, but I am a sucker for the make your own belgian waffle stands, and they had a good one.
The dining area was very comfortable as well.
We will certainly go back when the situation calls for it.

In Denver on business. This hotel is very nice. Cleanliness of the room is better than average, free internet service (wireless and wired), free breakfast in the morning, lite hors d’oeurves in the evening (Tu-​Th), in room refrigerator and stove, clean lobby, helpful staff and decent location for the area. My key got de-​magnetized one evening and the desk staff was quick to help. Only problem was that he didn’t ask for any ID, so anyone could have gotten into my room, providing they had a key to some room.
The food quality at breakfast and dinner is average, but edible. Free beer and wine too in the evenings.
Note that the policy is a light room clean everyday. This includes making the bed, emptying the trash (including my bottle of water that was only half done, from the night stand), replenishing the towels, general pickup and another microwave popcorn. It doesn’t include a clean tub.
One warning on the internet access. Intercontinental Group (the parent company of the Holiday Inn chain) appears to be going in the direction of supplying free internet access but with a little hit on our privacy. Turns out the internet service employs a company called Superclick to provide the access. Superclick redirects all your traffic through them before they send it on. This allows them to track you movements, anonymously I’m sure they’d claim, gathering data that they turn around and sell. If you care to understand better what’s happening, see this link

The location is excellent as the Park Meadows area has all the shopping and dining you could want.
For you Priority Club members, this is part of the Holiday Inn family so you’ll get points.
