the Curtis Denver - a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel
"Love abstracting at the Curtis! It’s a fun/different place to stay and a great location. The only side was it seemed the AC wasn’t working in the lobby area. It’s made it very stuffy and uncomfortable. However the room AC had no issues. I would stay here 100% again if going to downtown!"
