Ambassador Hotel Denver Airport, Aurora

Price was cheap, but you get what you pay for. The place reeks of smoke, even on non-smoking floors, there is one bar of soap for 2 sinks & a shower, the floors are hollow, so anyone above you sounds like Sasquatch, freeway noise continues all night, free breakfast is very limited, 15 minutes from airport and shuttle only runs every hour. Remodel is nice enough, but doesn'tmake up for the cheaply built building.

They don't pay their bills. I guess they feel it's ok to use products and services without paying for them. I encourage customers to try that approach with them. Since they don't pay, why should you?.

When we arrived around 9:30 pm, the only area which felt as if the A/C was functioning was the lobby. The hallways and elevator were both extremely warm/airless. This worried me, and when we opened the door to our room, my worries were confirmed. No A/C on in the room. I called the front desk and they admitted they never pre-cool the rooms. I have never, in all the years I've traveled, entered a hotel room which hadn't been precooled enough to be comfortable. My husband and I were quite tired after a full day touring the Rockies and didn't enjoy waiting around for the A/C unit to cool the room. We turned it on full blast but it still took nearly 2 hours for the entire room to be comfortable, partly because there is a half wall between the sitting area (location of the A/C unit) and the bed area, which made it hard for the cool air to flow. We left the A/C on high when we retired for the night and it didn't shut itself off until 6 am. The night manager kept apologizing, but never offered any resolution except to say he would give my phone number to the main manager. She never bothered to call. Yes, it's a cheap place to stay near the airport, but the comfort of their guests is not the #1 priority.

I was leery to use a hotel that was not a recognizable chain but they offered a good price and the reservation person spoke english. Turned out great. LARGE rooms, nice decor, nice bedding, great staff, free shuttle to/from airport, hot breakfast with made to order omelets and good wifi. Bad- only McD's and Dennys within walking distance. Good- right off i-70 at Pena (Airport) road and a few miles from Aurora Mall and other shopping. The front desk gal said they get a lot of the Airline voucher people whose flights were canceled so they are without a car -but there is nothing really close to the airport either. The hotel offers a restaurant for dinner....we got in late and ate at Dennys. Stayed at 3 hotels in Denver area and this was our favorite AND the cheapest. Perfect if u need to be near airport or northern Aurora.

About the only problem that we encountered on this hotel was the pool was unclean. Otherwise, they had a great breakfast and many channels to watch. The rooms were spacious. This one is so much better than the one in Brigham City. This is close to DIA.
