Tru By Hilton Denver Downtown Convention Center

I’ve had a great time every time I stay here. The rooms are really nice, the staff are pretty good, and I got a top-floor room with a view across the whole city, which was awesome. The price can be a bit high depending on the time of year. The location is right downtown, within walking distance of the convention center and the stadium. Meow Wolf is just down the street, along with lots of restaurants and other fun things to do. There are plenty of nearby bars too if you want to go bar hopping. For a really cool experience, try getting a room on the top floor.

This is a great location if you’re in town for a convention or a Denver visit. You can walk to downtown spots, and 16th Street is right nearby, with the Free Bus passing through often. The included breakfast was just right, with a good variety of hot options. I’m not sure if it was the season, but downtown was very quiet with few people around. The places we visited were nice but pretty empty, and walking at night made us feel somewhat unsafe.

This is always my first place to check when I’m staying in Denver. It’s an easy, efficient choice for business and convention trips, right in the heart of the city. The 16th St Mall, Convention Center, and performing arts center are all close enough to walk to, as are plenty of good restaurants. The staff are consistently helpful, and the bar usually has a friendly mix of people starting a night out or winding down after a day in town. I also love the breakfast in the basement dining room. It’s better than a typical continental spread, and they have the pancake machine I enjoy at most Tru hotels.

The employees and amenities really stood out, and I appreciated that the hotel stayed open over the holidays. You’re close to just about everything, though the view over the large parking lot is only so-so. Since it’s downtown, I’d be cautious walking around. I noticed quite a few people who seemed to be using drugs, as well as people experiencing homelessness.
