Ramada Plaza Denver Central

STAY AWAY!!! You might as well stay down on Coulfax. This place might have nice people working but conditions are like a crack motel. No screens on windows and the window opens all the way. Kids in the back getting high and drunk in the parking not. Lol… I’ve been in some dumps but this one takes the cake. Don’t let the «Ramada» name fool you. The room was just bad… Stay away!!! Better off sleeping in your car. Lol

THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! I got stuck with this place after attempting to stay somewhere on the cheap in downtown Denver via Hotwire. Unfortunately their zone is specifically designed to include this hotel, as it is nowhere close to downtown Denver (indicated in the name even); with no access to RTD buses or light rail, I ended up spending a bunch of money on Ubers that I could have used for a better located room.
However, the main beef I had is the room that I was in. I believe I was put in room 121, which was the handicapped room. This room appears to have it’s own outside entrance (never tried to access it). This backs up directly to a loading dock for a big warehouse, so there are trucks coming in at early hours making lots of noise and waking me up (and I’m a very deep sleeper). In addition, this room was adjacent to the laundry room. It wasn’t the laundry room that was the problem, though, it was that there was ZERO sound insulation through the door. Several times I heard the sound of metal clanking, and I discovered that this room is also opposite some sort of supply closet where they were moving ladders out of and also weird metal pipes which were laid out in the hallway. At all times it felt like I was directly in other peoples’ conversation, mostly in Spanish.
The television didn’t work at all, just showed the grey picture of not having a signal. I also found about HALF A DOZEN LARGE BLACK ROACHES in my room. Completely disgusting!!! On the last day I ran the shower and then had a phone call, so I let the water run for a couple of minutes. I came back to find water all over the bathroom floor, because somehow the handicapped switch to activate the handle sprayer had turned on, and this shot water out against the back wall of the shower, where it flooded onto the floor. I had to spend time cleaning this up with towels because I didn’t want to be responsible for any ridiculous damages.
When I first rolled up, despite the location, I was optimistic because it seemed nice enough from the outside/​lobby that I’d be content. Instead, this was the worst travel lodging experience of my life, including hostels in India. If you got a room here via Hotwire consider it a sunk cost and pay to stay somewhere else. I’VE TRIED TO WARN YOU.

0 stars, never stay here!
Booked and paid ahead of time. When we arrived from the airport at 3am we were told our reservation was cancelled and our room given away because we had not arrived before midnight. We were told even if we had called, we could not have saved our reservation. Luckily there was one room available, but it was a smoking room. Since we had no other choice we decided to check in.
Room was dank and musty and smelled very bad, worse than other smoking rooms we have been in. We opened the window to get some fresh air only to find pigeons roosting on the entire ledge of the building that was covered in droppings and smelled horrible. There was also no screen on the window which would allow any of the 10+ pigeons outside our window to fly into the room.
In the bathroom, we noticed the water in the bathtub was on. We tried to turn it off only to realize that it was stuck on! We nearly broke the knob trying to turn it off. There was a water stain on the tub which proves that that tub has been stuck on for a very, very long time. Such a waste and a sign of disrepair by this hotel.
The next day we were told that they could not just switch us to an available non-​smoking room, that we would have to check out at noon then physically come back after 3pm and try to check in again. Even then we were not guaranteed to get a non-​smoking room or that any room would be available.
Sheets seemed pretty clean…
What a horrible experience!

Ugh. I wish I would have read the reviews before booking this place. Traveling across the country and got her at 11pm to get some rest for the evening. I paid $ 129 a night and when I left in the morning didn’t think it was worth more than $ 50. It’s super run down and in an awful area. When we walked into the room the A/​C had been off and it was about 80 in there. It never really cooled off before we left which made for a restless night sleep. The TV marketed channels but did not work. The hallways reeked of cigarette smoke. They market a pool but it was under construction. I could go on and on. Skip this place.

What a sticking dump! Ghetto doesn’t even begin to describe it, not only do the rooms suck but they don’t even have there pool or spa open. Plus there free breakfast is a joke, ice cold scrambled eggs and sausage yumm. The widow on the room won’t even close all the way and the TV has only 3 channels that actually can be seen without white snow, avoid this one at all cost !!! I would give this no stars but they got off lucky with a minimum of one star needed.

Awful… shabby and dangerous accomodations. Elevator buttons do not light. Pool is being renovated and the empty pit is not fenced in. One night we were wakened at four by a barking dog. Another night we were wakened at midnight by three children who were alone in a room.

Convenient location. Smelled like smoke in lobby. Old crowd line dancing in the attached bar. Customer service was good one day & bad the next. Rooms were average. Overall I wouldn’t recommend staying

This is one of the worst hotels I’ve been to. Hotwire messed up my reservation and put me here for $ 94 a night. It is worth $ 50 at the most. Our floor reeked of pot smoke. When we tried to get into our room, all 3 keys malfunctioned, so they checked us out new keys. Those malfunctioned, too. Apparently there was an issue with the battery in the door, however, it should have been fixed prior to checking in. The TV was horrible, with very poor reception and few channels. The breakfast was mediocre. The location is awful, in the middle of nowhere. You can also hear everything going on in the room next door from your bathroom.

The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the employees are very nice and they try to be helpful. Tv has terrible reception! The restaurant/​bar has loud annoying metal music at 5 pm dinner. They were nice enough to change it and turn it down. The salad is stale and wilted. It gets worse from here.

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in! First off, they are dramatically understaffed. Get ready to wait at least 20 minutes to just get checked in. Then the most outrageous act came when they assigned us to a room that was already occupied. We literally walked into some dude screaming at us on the toilet. I’m surprised no one got hurt. After that our keys wouldn’t even work on the next room they assigned us. When I tried to address that I had to wait another 20 minutes bc there was one person checking in a line of seven guests. I would feel bad for the overworked staff but they never offered any apology. When I demanded to see the manager they said she wasn’t there. I could sense a general attitude of contempt for the guests. You’re better off at the super 8.

The trucker rate is $ 59 a night. The hotel should charge only this amount to everyone.
Normal rate is $ 99, which is ridiculous for the rundown room you get. Service at the bar was terrible, with no beer taps only $ 3.5 to $ 4.50 bottles. (My friend was convinced the lady there was pocketing lots of cash from sales.) Food at Teddy’s is actually pretty good, and reasonable, the best server is Donavan who is the star of the restaurant.
Our phone was broken and they took 6 days to replace it, then two reminders day before check out. House keeping will knock at 7:45 am if you don’t have the DND sign on the door. No fan in the hotel room bathroom, mold stains inside some of the drawers, and a nice flat screen tv BUT no HD so it’s a super grainy picture.

Run away from this hotel!!! I stayed here for one night during my cross country move; I would have better off at the Bates Motel. Filthy, no curtains on the windows, and best of all the front desk staff steals your credit card number! Oh, and when you call to find out why on earth your card has over $ 1000 in unauthorized charges after a 1 night stay, you’re told your reservation can’t be located and that «someone’ will call you back. Well guess what — this «someone» is filing a police report. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

A tad worn, run down and out of the way, but, believe it or not, better than where the Darling Daughter and I stayed our first night in Denver. Our room was clean, with the bed being made up in the newest way, top sheet, blanket, another top sheet and a counterpane, so it looked fresh and crisp, and was. Bathroom was tiny and the exhaust fan didn’t work. Great water pressure. The heater/​air conditioner was old and incredibly loud, but it worked well.
The staff were wonderful! They made up for the hotel’s need for sprucing up and repairs. DD and I were there several days and had 3 different shuttle drivers, all of whom were charming, great ambassadors for Denver and very helpful. When I needed something from the desk, I was cheerfully provided with it in two instances. The staff who covered the hotel’s breakfast service were cheerful and bright. Everyone gave the impression they liked their jobs, even someone who was putting up with some nasty guest abuse, at one point. I wish they had a better maintenance crew, and a quieter climate control, but I wouldn’t refuse to go back if it were local to my needs.
