First Impressions & Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (Like Me After a Long Flight)
Okay, so landing in Denver, altitude kicking my butt, and desperately needing a soft place to land. The Denver Airport Hotel… the name is what it is. Straight to the point. Now, accessibility is HUGE for me, and I'm happy to say they generally nail it. Wheelchair accessible? Check. Elevators? Check. Public areas? Seemed pretty smooth sailing. Now, the devil's in the details, right? Like, are the restaurants truly accessible? More on that later. Big points for an accessible hotel, but let's address the front door. It was kinda… impersonal. You know? No warm welcome, just 'here's your key, next!' I'm not asking for flowers, but at least acknowledge my humanity.
Rooms: A Cozy Sanctuary (Hopefully, Mine is Clean)
The Room! A welcome sight after the airport madness. Cleanliness… knocks on wood… seemed good. (Let me tell you, I'm a germaphobe! I was immediately looking for the little anti-viral cleaning product stickers. Found 'em! Okay, good, I might survive.) Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? HELL YES! I need to work. I need to binge-watch my show. The included air conditioning was a godsend (Denver weather can be a jerk). A desk to work at was great. Reading light was a nice touch, and the blackout curtains… sweet, sweet sleep. The hair dryer and complimentary bottled water were definitely welcomed. I even discovered an extra long bed because I'm a giant! Oh, and the safe… always a plus. I appreciated the socket near the bed!
The things that needed attention. The bathroom phone seemed useless, the carpeting was a bit dated, and I wish I could open the window, I got a little claustrophobic.
Internet: The Lifeblood (And It Worked!)
Wi-Fi [free] was indeed… free! And strong. No complaints there. There was, of course, Internet Access – LAN. But who uses that anymore? Seriously! And, Internet services were available. Did I mention, Wi-Fi in public areas?
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Day or Bust!
This is where the Denver Airport Hotel slightly redeems itself from the meh of the front door. Pool with view? YES! (And the view was surprisingly decent). Spa/sauna? Yes! More details:
- Pool with a bloody view! (I'm exaggerating, but it was better than a view of a parking lot).
- Sauna – perfect for sweating out the stress of delayed flights.
- Spa- Yes! I immediately booked a Massage! (More on that later… it was a journey).
- Fitness center Okay, I saw it. I didn't use it. Let's be honest. After a flight, who really works out?
The Massage Saga (A Rollercoaster!)
Okay, the spa. This is where my emotional reaction took a turn. I mean, I needed a massage more desperately than a fish needs water. I was picturing, bliss, soft music, skilled hands erasing the travel knots.
- Booking was fine, I got a good price, but a tiny bit of a wait.
- The room… a bit dated. Not exactly relaxing.
- The therapist… bless her heart, she was trying. But the massage… felt like a slightly gentler version of being pummelled by a confused octopus. Not awful. Not fantastic.
- The oil smelled…weird. (I had to ask - It was apparently "Eucalyptus and something else.")
- Body scrub and body wrap were things I did not try!
Recommendation: Go for the Pool, Skip the Overpriced Massage
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Wanderer
Now, this is an area where the hotel really needs to up its game. They have a few Restaurants and a Bar, but options were limited, and the experience was… serviceable.
- Breakfast [buffet] was available, and a Breakfast service was offered. (I wasn't overly impressed with the international cuisine; some familiar comfort food would have been great.)
- Coffee/tea in restaurant was very much needed.
- Coffee shop… seemed alright.
- Poolside bar – a plus, especially after a dip.
- Room service [24-hour]: the best part, and only because I was starving at 2 am!
- *Vegetarian restaurant?* Nope.
Recommendation: Order room service and hope for the best!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things Matter (And Sometimes They Don't!)
This is a mixed bag. Things that were good: Contactless check-in/out (a must in this day and age), Daily housekeeping (thank goodness), and Cash withdrawal.
Things that were…less impressive: Gift/souvenir shop? (Meh. Who buys that at these hotels?) Dry cleaning? (Not if I can help it!) Convenience store? (Was there a decent one nearby?) Dog door service? (Hahahaha! But that's fine, I'm not an animal person)
For the Kids: Is It Family-Friendly?
Yes! I saw some signs of Family/child friendly facilities, but I wasn't travelling with a family, so I'm just taking their word for it. Babysitting service was offered!
Cleanliness and Safety: Keeping it Real (or Just Trying To)
Cleanliness and safety were definitely something the hotel was pushing. Anti-viral cleaning products? Daily disinfection in common areas, too? They seemed good . The staff seemed trained in safety protocol.
Getting Around: Airports Are Hell, This Helps
Airport transfer! Thank goodness. The car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site] were excellent!
The Verdict: Does the Denver Airport Hotel Deliver on its Promises?
Okay, so "Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Await!"… Well, “Unbeatable” depends on your definition. “Luxury”…a bit of a stretch.
- Price: The deals were decent. Not mind-blowing, but reasonable for a place so close to the airport.
- Location: Prime location. A massive plus.
- Rooms: Clean, comfortable, a sanctuary from the airport noise.
- Amenities: The pool and free Wi-Fi are winners. The spa… eh.
- The people. Ok, the staff was doing their best. Smile more! Embrace the 'customer is always right."
Final Impression: It's a Solid Choice for a Layover or Quick Trip
I'd stay here again for a layover or a quick business trip. It's not a destination in itself, and the massage experience was less than ideal. But the clean rooms, convenient location, and the pool make it a recommendable choice, and if you manage your expectations, you won't be disappointed. Is it the best hotel ever? No. But is it a perfectly fine option? Absolutely!

Ayala & SM Cebu Luxury: Your Dream Penthouse Studio Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's perfectly-polished travel itinerary. We're going to the Avid Hotels Denver Airport Area by IHG, and trust me, it's going to be an experience. Prepare for a ride that's less "smooth sailing" and more "slightly seasick but still laughing."
THE AVATAR DENVER ADVENTURE: A Messy Itinerary
Day 1: The Arrival – Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Shuttle
3:00 PM: Land at Denver International Airport (DIA). Let's be real, the airport is HUGE. I'm pretty sure I walked like, a mile just to get to baggage claim. I always forget how dry the air is here. My lips are already starting to resemble the Sahara.
3:45 PM: Find the (hopefully) reliable shuttle to the Avid Hotel. Okay, deep breaths. I actually hate airport shuttles. They're always either running late or jam-packed with people who clearly haven't slept in a week. This time, it was a little late, but blessedly, it wasn't too crowded. A small victory.
4:30 PM: Arrive at the Avid. Check-in. The front desk guy, bless his soul, looked like he saw a ghost when I asked for a room on a high floor with a view. Denver, you see, is pancake-flat. "Uhm, ma'am… this is the airport, you know?" he offered. Okay, fair point.
5:00 PM: Unpack. Survey the Room. It's… functional. Let's call it that. Clean, basic, and definitely not winning any design awards. But hey, it has a bed. And a TV. And, most importantly, a working toilet. Consider me happy.
5:30 PM: Snack Attack. My inner 5-year-old demands a snack. Raiding my bag for a sad granola bar and some airplane-sized peanuts. My stomach is rumbling like a tiny airplane engine.
6:00 PM: Contemplating Dinner: I have a coupon for the hotel's "on-site restaurant," which, let's be honest, is probably just a vending machine and microwave. I'm debating if it is too late to get outside from here to get some real food. Maybe I'll just order some takeout, but from where?
Day 2: The Airport Shuffle & the Grand Canyon (Kinda)
7:00 AM: Wake up. Actually, I was awake since 5 am. Jetlag or just the incessant hum of the air conditioning? Who knows. Either way, I'm up, caffeinated, and mildly grumpy.
7:30 AM: Breakfast. The complimentary breakfast. Now, I'm not a food critic, but the options were… well, let's just say they were "available." Waffles that tasted suspiciously like cardboard, watery coffee, and the mysterious "breakfast sausage." I ate it all. Shame, I guess.
8:30 AM: Navigating the Local Establishments. I'm talking about a local establishment I'm calling the "Little Red Box." The little red box is a gas station. And it is where I'll get a red box of snacks.
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM: Grand Canyon Daydream; Today is dedicated to the Grand Canyon, but I'm not going. I will spend the whole day online trying to pick out the best things to buy to experience the Grand Canyon from Denver. This will include maps, virtual tours, and maybe even a little drone footage. I'll also try and find some recipes so that I can make food inspired by the Grand Canyon.
6:00 PM: Dinner. I actually decided to try that local establishment I mentioned called the Little Red Box. I got some chips.
7:30 PM: TV Time. I have the TV on and I am flicking through channels. Nothing good. What about those channels with the old shows?
Day 3: Departure – Or, Saying Goodbye to the Airport (and the Waffles)
7:00 AM: Wake up. Okay, I'm getting used to this time.
7:30 AM: Breakfast (again). I'm already dreading the waffles. This time they were slightly burnt. Progress?
8:30 AM: Last-Minute Packing. Did I even want to take this trip? I'm not sure. But I didn't hate it.
9:00 AM: Check-out. The front desk guy, bless his heart, looks even more tired than yesterday. "Safe travels!" he says. I think he's happy to see me go.
9:30 AM: Shuttle back to the airport. Here we go again. Please, oh please, let it be on time.
10:30 AM: Through security. I get a pat-down. Of course, I do. It's my life.
12:00 PM: Boarding the plane. As I buckle myself in, I can't help but smile. Denver, you were a weird, wonderful, and slightly crumbly experience. Until next time (maybe).
Final Thoughts:
This trip wasn't perfect. The hotel wasn't a palace. The waffles were questionable. But it was mine. And that's what matters. Cheers to the messy, the unplanned, and the perfectly imperfect trip. Now, where's my next adventure?

Alright, spill the beans! Why *should* I stay at a Denver Airport Hotel? Seriously, besides avoiding a sleep-deprived zombie shuffle to catch a flight.
Are these places actually *luxurious*? The ad copy says "luxury," and I'm picturing… you know… a slightly nicer Motel 6.
What about shuttle service? Is it reliable? Because nothing’s worse than missing a flight because of a flaky shuttle.
Okay, I'm sold! But what's the best way to get the *best* deal on a Denver Airport hotel?
What if I'm flying in really late or need to leave super early? Can I still make the shuttle work?
Are there any extra costs I should be aware of? Hidden fees are the worst!
What about noise? I'm a light sleeper. Are airport hotels inherently loud?
