AVID HOTEL DENVER AIRPORT AREA BY IHG, Denver

The hotel is a 10-minute drive from DEN airport, and the complimentary shuttle service runs 24/7 with pickups every 30 minutes. Several restaurants - DiCicco's, Renegado Tacos and Margaritas, Tower Tap and Grill, and The Bistro - are within a 0.5 km walk. Union Station, Colorado Convention Center, and Denver Museum of Nature and Science are a short drive away. Tower Road offers additional dining and shopping options within walking distance. Note that the area is largely hotels, restaurants, and gas stations - functional for transit stays but not a destination in itself.

Rooms are modern and cleaner than typical airport hotels, with a private bathroom featuring a shower or bath, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Beds have been noted as comfortable by many, but some mattresses may feel firm. Road-facing or top-floor rooms can be quieter; noise from above is possible. Blackout curtains are provided. Each room includes a flat-screen TV with streaming services, ironing facilities, and heating. Storage is limited to open cubbies - no dresser - so longer stays may feel less convenient. Bathroom night-lights are a practical feature. Some units have a single king or two double beds.

Breakfast includes pre-packaged sandwiches, pastries, fruit, granola bars, and cereals. Early departures can grab fruit and muffins before 4am. Hot options are limited (scrambled egg, patty, potatoes) and may run out before 9:30am. The 24-hour lobby coffee station grinds fresh cups and also offers hot chocolate and water refill stations. Vending machines provide snacks and drinks. Several restaurants within walking distance offer alternatives for a fuller meal.

The indoor pool is heated, has a shallow end, and is open all year. Sun loungers and pool/beach towels are provided. The fitness centre is free for all guests and is well-maintained. Both facilities are clean and functional for a quick workout or relaxation before or after a flight.

The free shuttle runs every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day; call the front desk for pick-up from the airport. The front desk operates 24/7 and offers express check-in and check-out. Free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. On-site parking is paid ($10/day or $50-$55 for longer stays). A business centre and mini-market are available. Coin-operated laundry is on site. Pets are allowed with a $75 fee. The hotel is accessible for guests with disabilities and has a lift. Key card access and fire extinguishers are in place for security. Cots are available on request.
