CAMBRIA HOTEL DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Aurora

The hotel is a short 10-minute drive from Denver International Airport, making it a practical choice for pre-flight stays or layovers. The free shuttle service runs every 45 minutes from 3:00 to midnight, with pick-up at airport island 514 (not 512). While the immediate area has a utilitarian feel, there are several chain and local restaurants within a 5-minute walk, including Ted's Montana Grill and Thai Chili & Sushi. For downtown Denver, the light rail station is accessible via the shuttle, and the drive to Union Station is about 21 km (25 minutes). The neighbourhood has been described as not ideal for walking alone, and vehicle break-ins have been reported in the parking lot. Some rooms offer mountain views.

Accommodations are configured as suites with a partition between the living area and bedroom, often featuring two TVs, a work desk, sofa bed, and a microwave and mini-fridge. The private bathrooms include a bath, hairdryer, and, in some rooms, a Bluetooth-enabled mirror and large shower. Family rooms with two beds and suites with up to three beds are available. The rooms are air-conditioned and have heating, tea and coffee making facilities, and seating areas. Some rooms offer mountain views, but the window seals can be poor, making the view less clear. Reported issues include worn furniture, peeling wallpaper, stained carpets, and occasional cleanliness problems. The property has no in-room phones; contacting the front desk requires a mobile call or a visit downstairs. The beds are generally comfortable, though some have been described as firm. The bathrooms can lack ventilation fans, and the doors may not stay open.

The hotel has a family-friendly, modern restaurant offering American cuisine, including warm dishes, fresh pastries, and a variety of beverages for breakfast. Breakfast is not included in the room rate and costs approximately $15 per person. The restaurant also serves dinner and has a bar. However, the restaurant has been reported closed on some Saturday nights, and the bar menu may be limited to items like chicken fingers and burgers. Several restaurants are within a 5-minute walk (0.3-0.5 km), including Anthony's Pizza & Pasta, Ted's Montana Grill, and Thai Chili & Sushi. There is also a Coffee & Bagels shop nearby.

Leisure facilities include an indoor heated swimming pool (open all year), a hot tub, and a fitness centre with treadmills and other equipment. While the pool and hot tub are advertised, their operational status has been inconsistent, with reports of the hot tub being out of service or lukewarm and the pool water being cold or green. Some equipment in the fitness centre may be worn or out of order. A sun terrace and outdoor furniture are available for relaxation.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. The hotel offers a free airport shuttle, but it runs only from 3:00 to midnight - not 24 hours - and can be delayed. On-site parking costs $10 per day and requires a reservation; a Park & Fly option is available for $10 per night, and two EV chargers are on site. The 24-hour front desk provides express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and daily housekeeping (though housekeeping has been inconsistent). A minimarket is on site. Business services include a business centre, meeting facilities, fax/photocopying, and an ATM on site. A guest laundry room with washers and dryers is available. The property has a lift, key card/ key access, CCTV, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. The hotel is not pet friendly. A $50 incidental deposit is required at check-in.
