This was my first time staying at a Hampton Inn. Based on my experience here, it will not be my last.
The hotel, a non-descript building set next to a parking lot, is only about a five-minute walk from the 16th Street Mall. My room was large and comfortable, but even though I looked out over the parking lot, it could not be called "bright". The King-sized bed was very comfortable. While it came with 4 pillows, they were small and made sleeping tough unless you lay almost motionless. In addition to the microwave, there was a fridge. Unlike most hotel fridges, however, it was empty which was great since it meant that it could actually be used!!!! The bathroom was large and comfortable, with a good supply of towels. The Shower tub was too shallow for bathing, but the water pressure was fine.
Breakfast was included in the price. It consisted of cold cereal, bread products, juice, fruit, yogurt, and eggs and meat. It is all self-serve. Also included in the price is USA Today and a local Denver paper. If you do not want the papers, make sure that you notify them when you check-in (there certainly is no reason to pay for USA Today to be left outside your front door since complementary copies are available at breakfast).
Finally, the staff was also very helpful. About 20 minutes after I checked-in they called up just to make sure that everything was fine with my room.
