HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS DENVER CENTRAL - NORTH, Denver

The hotel sits in a light industrial area directly adjacent to I-25, providing quick access to the highway network. Denver International Airport is 27 km away. The immediate surroundings have limited dining and retail options, but a short drive (about 5 km) opens up good restaurant choices. Public bus stops are nearby, though there is no hotel shuttle. The property offers free on-site parking, making it convenient for those arriving by car. The area has been described as not the most walkable, with some concerns about security, so using your own vehicle or ride-sharing is recommended for most outings.

The hotel offers double rooms with either one king or two queen beds. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating, a wardrobe, safe deposit box, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Many rooms have a patio door that can let in fresh air, but these doors can also let in significant highway and train noise if not sealed tightly. Room sizes are generally spacious, though some have noted that the rooms are not very large. The floors are hardwood/vinyl, which helps with cleanliness but can make rooms feel echoey. The bathrooms are clean with glass showers and complimentary soap and lotion. Note that room coffee makers are not provided. Some earlier reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness and maintenance, but recent renovations have improved the overall condition dramatically. For better sleep, request a room away from the highway and facing the mountain side.

Breakfast is included in the room rate and is served as a generous buffet. Options typically include eggs, sausages or bacon, potatoes, waffles, cereals, yogurt, bread, pastries, juices, and coffee. The coffee machine is a standout feature, offering fresh-ground coffee and is available 24/7. The breakfast area is clean and spacious. There is no on-site restaurant or bar, but a snack bar and vending machines are available. The immediate area has limited dining, but a short drive (about 5 km) leads to a good selection of restaurants. For planning, breakfast hours are served during morning hours, and no breakfast-to-go options are provided for early departures.

The outdoor swimming pool is heated and open seasonally from 06:00 to 22:00 daily. It is equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas, and pool/beach towels. The pool area is a pleasant spot for relaxation and a refreshing dip. The fitness centre has been upgraded with new equipment and is free for guests to use. There is no spa or wellness centre on site. The hotel also has a small games area or business centre for other leisure needs.

The hotel provides free Wi-Fi in all areas. Free public parking is available on site with no reservation needed, and accessible parking spaces are available. The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/out, complimentary luggage storage, and an ATM on site. Daily housekeeping is free, while laundry service is available for an additional charge. A business centre and fax/photocopying are accessible for free. The property is wheelchair accessible with grab rails in toilets. Security features include 24-hour security, key card access, smoke alarms, and fire extinguishers. The hotel is pet-friendly with a daily fee of $25.00. While the renovation has improved the facilities overall, some services like the shuttle are not offered, and housekeeping may not clean rooms automatically every day without a request.
