COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT DENVER CHERRY CREEK, Denver

The hotel is on Colorado Boulevard, a major arterial road with heavy traffic. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Denver Zoo, and the shops of Writer Square are about 10-15 minutes away by car. The Denver Performing Arts Complex is 10 minutes away. The location is convenient for those with a car, but the immediate area is a busy strip mall setting with a gas station next door, and some nearby businesses are closed. Several chain and local restaurants are within a short walk (e.g., Thai Pot Cafe, Ajinoya Ramen, Noodles & Company). The Cherry Creek shopping district and the University of Denver are a short ride away. The area is also within easy reach of I-25 for connections to downtown and the Denver Tech Center.

Accommodation includes rooms with one queen, two queens, or suites with a separate living and dining area. All rooms have a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a coffee machine, a sofa, and a work desk. Each room has a private bathroom with a bath or shower. The rooms are generally described as spacious and clean, but the furniture, carpets, and overall style are dated and show considerable wear. The bathrooms are very small. The beds are reported as comfortable, though some found them hard. Rooms on higher floors are quieter, and upper-floor rooms often have mountain views. Rooms on the second floor may have an unpleasant odor. The building can be noisy internally; light sleepers may want to bring earplugs. Air conditioning and heating work well. The hotel is non-smoking throughout.

The on-site restaurant is The Bistro - Eat. Drink. Connect.® It is open for breakfast and dinner, serving American-style food. Breakfast is available for purchase ($14) and is not included unless your rate plan specifies it. The dinner menu is limited but the food is consistently described as pleasant and surprisingly good. The Bistro also functions as a bar in the evening. There is also a small market in the lobby selling packaged snacks and drinks; prices here are high. Many restaurants-including Thai, ramen, Mexican, and American options-are within a very short walk on Colorado Boulevard. A Starbucks in the lobby offers coffee for purchase, with no free coffee available elsewhere.

The indoor swimming pool is heated and open year-round, available daily from 7 AM to 11 PM. The pool water temperature can be cool. The fitness centre is open 24 hours a day and is free to use. There is no spa, sauna, or hot tub on the property; the hot tub has been permanently closed.

Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel. Parking costs $16 per day; the lot is shared with other businesses and is not enclosed. There is no airport or area shuttle. The 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage and booking special rates. The hotel offers meeting and banquet facilities (including the 11th-floor Skyline Ballroom). Laundry machines are available for $2.50 per wash and $2.50 per dry. The hotel is accessible for guests with disabilities, with lifts and accessible rooms. Pets are allowed with a potential charge. The property has a no-smoking policy throughout. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard.
