Residence Inn by Marriott Denver North/Westminster

Very good

Overall my family’s stay was...

Liked: Location was convenient, our 2-BR suit perfect for a family of 5, breakfast offered a good selection for everyone’s preferences. Definitely comfortable and spacious.
Disliked: The AC fan was very strong and therefore loud. To avoid having the fan kick on and off all night, I decided to just keep it on, but it would have been better to have the ability to adjust the fan speed. The road traffic noise was sometimes very loud.

Not impressed at all

Liked: Breakfast
Disliked: This hotel needs a serious renovation, we had to change rooms after checking in due to stuff not working. The second room they put us in was even worse. The door handle/lock to enter the room kept jamming making it very hard to open. On one occasion the front desk person had to come and help open it. The room phone didn't work, the toilet seat wouldn't stay up, refrigerator looked like it was physically abused and the beds; especially the sofa bed, were very uncomfortable. The thermostat for the hvac didn't work properly and the room would be at an uncomfortable temperature. There is no maintenance on weekends and when they finally came to fix the issues I complained about, they still weren't able to fix the door (room 319). These rooms should be inspected periodically by maintenance staff to make sure everything works properly, since a renovation probably won't happen. On the bright side the room was clean and the front desk staff were nice. Breakfast was good but there was inadequate seating for the amount of people eating breakfast. We had to take our food back to the room and eat. All in all, not impressed and really surprised that this hotel carries the Marriott Hotels brand name. We should have stayed at the Hampton Inn next door.

Superb

Liked: I thought the breakfast was very good. We were there for two mornings and I appreciated that there was some variation in the menu.
Disliked: My wife didn't care for the fact that you had to walk through the lobby to get to the pool, so we didn't swim.

OK place to stay north...

Liked: Staff was nice
Disliked: Had to change rooms after the first night (which they did without issue) because the smell from the garbage disposal filled the room. AC was one of those old wall units and very loud, cycled on and off. Location is (for us) bad. near highway and while it wasn't too loud, you couldn't actually get to the highway easily -- like in a conjunction of cloverleafs with no on ramp. Ended up driving 20 mins through the burbs to get to I-70. Just wasn't a pleasant place to stay. Its a now-typical Marriott; the chain has just gotten a little worse each year (IMO) since the founder died. Used to be my go-to for business trips. Now its my avoid-if-possible (Denver was booked up, so while overpriced in my opinion, this was still the most reasonable place at the time)

Pleasant stay, close to my...

Liked: The suite was clean, comfortable, and quiet.
Disliked: Nothing that comes to mind.

Exceptional stay that provided comfort...

Liked: Location was ideal for my visit and close to everything. Staff was exceptionally friendly & helpful. Room was well-equipped and very clean. Breakfast had a good variety and I appreciated accommodations for needing to take it to my room. I like that there was easy access for me to load/unload items to/from my car.
Disliked: Have hotel info also available in print or instruct guests where they may access info.

Exceptional

Liked: The bed was fantastic. Food was great. Staff was friendly. Would stay again.
Disliked: Courtyard needs cleaning.

Very good
