I have been a regular Hotel VQ'er for 8 of the last 9 years - mostly for footballs games next door at Sports Authority Stadium. However, the last year we have had to move to hotels that you can actually sleep in the bed. Beds at the VQ were pure misery...hard, lumpy, awful. I would pay double the price that... More

Out side of the hotel is very clean and appealing. Once you get in your rooms you will smell an overwhelming smell of old cigarettes. I asked the front desk if our room was a non smoking room and she said all of the rooms are non smoking. I asked if there was another room we could have and she... More

I know it's an okay price for what you get. Still I like my hotel near something that you can walk to. This place borders the poorer part of town and the other side of the hotel is the highway. The sightseeing places near the hotel are across teh highway and it's not easy to walk there. You really cannot... More

We really loved the Hotel Vq. The staff was very friendly, room was clean and spacious, and it was a great price. We payed only $89 a night (although it may be more $ during football season). We did a lot of day trips throughout Colorado, so we used our own car. But when we went into Denver the free... More

It's not a Marriott, but it does provide decent accommodations with everything including the mountains within a short drive. This is not a luxury hotel - nor is it priced that way. If your looking for a place to center your visit this works. The restaurant on the top floor is good and reasonable priced - $6 breakfast, $10 lunch....

We stayed for 2 nights while watching a Rockies game, enjoying 16th Street and eating at the Buckhorn Exchange. Great staff, super helpful and friendly. The lobby, hallways, our room and the Sky Bar were all very clean. I did not here the street traffic but then again I ran the A/C. I will be staying at Hotel VQ on... More

There is no doubt - this hotel is a little dated. But, as one employee said, "We are known for our service, not our beauty," Every person we encountered bent over backwards to accommodate us. The shuttle was such an asset and we met lots of interesting people on the shuttle. The Sky Box restaurant/lounge on the top floor is... More

It's not the 4 seasons, however I found the hotel very clean, rooms spacious. My room had a king bed. Was facing towards the interstate and I did notice the traffic noise at first but it didn't disturb me at night. Small fridge in room was great, with coffee maker, hair dryer, iron board and iron. The bathroom was kinda... More

Really nice hotel. We stayed as part of a tour group package. Clean room, comfortable - that's all I want in a hotel. Of course extras are always good! Nice bar/grill upstairs with a fantastic view of downtown Denver. Friendly staff.

Hotel VQ is the round hotel just north of Mile High Stadium. I have stayed at the hotel many times over the last 40 years as various franchise signs have come and gone. Over the years this hotel has been a Holiday Inn, Ramada Inn and a Red Lion. I am sure I missed some of the name changes, but... More
