Hotel AC Hotels by Marriott a Denver

This was a quick overnight trip to Denver. I didn’t spend much time at the hotel - long enough to check-in and then head to dinner, return, sleep, and fly out early the next morning. Maybe in the hotel a total of 15 hrs. In general, I like AC Hotel rooms, but not this one. This hotel opened in 2017 (along with its sibling, the Le Méridien, which is in the same complex). Check-in: It was great; quick and efficient. The young lady at the Front Desk provided sufficient information regarding hotel services. She was friendly, smiled, and answered questions to the best of her knowledge. Room 1420: This corner king room was a major disappointment. The bathroom/wet area is part of the room ( ather than behind a closed door. When you step out of the shower, you’re in the actual room. The shower and wash basin are visible in the room. Who's bright design idea was that? I like entire wet areas behind closed doors. The toilet was the only item behind a closed door (thank goodness). I liked the modern design and spare furniture. The room had a coffee maker for tea but limited electrical outlets and outlets in challenging locations. I jerry-rigged some space on the desktop to accomplish the tea-making activity. The room also had a refrigerator, which is always a plus for fruit. I had no issues with the Internet. I had a corner king room with windows on two sides. The size of the room was adequate for this one-night stay and included the king bed, a loveseat with a pull-out bed, small table and chair, and lots of natural light. However, this space would be adequate for more than 1 night. If I were traveling with a companion, I would not want to be in the room while they were taking a shower or taking care of personal business in the water closet. Those are private and personal activities that should be done out of my viewpoint. The hotel lobby and bar area have a 30-something vibe to it so maybe it’s designed for millennials rather than the general tourist/businessperson (even though it’s literally next door to the convention center)? If you’re a family, I don’t think this hotel is in your future. You’ll be frustrated with no closet, no drawers, no obvious storage area, and the partner/kids exiting the shower while you’re casually reading your e-newspaper or scrolling through your phone. A really bizarre design/set-up. Somewhat of a motel feel. Hey AC Hotel Denver, no need to respond, but I’ll do it for you. 🙂 “We do apologize your stay did not meet your expectations.
