Beautiful historic hotel in downtown Denver
Pros:

We love the history, architecture and ambience of the Brown Palace. It is an iconic hotel for Denver.

Cons:

It is a historic building, so some of the "modern" amenities you find in new hotels were a bit lacking. For instance, the bathroom had older outlets and lighting had to be turned on from a different room.

A fun time with a step back in time!
Pros:

Breakfast service and quality was excellent. Historic decor of the first and second floors was wonderful. Staff was excellent.

Cons:

My room heat needed help from technicians, that wasn't a real big deal though as I am used to chilly rooms.

Our stay was decent but we are a little disappointed because of how highly it was talked about and what we experienced.
Pros:

The staff was very sweet and accommodating and a beautiful lobby.

Cons:

You could hear everything that was going on in the hotel from inside your room. Our room was also very hot and our fan was very noisy. You had to work the door handle a certain way to close it and make sure it locked.

Ok - won’t be returning
Pros:

I’d never stayed there before and New Years Eve seemed like a good time to try. Being right downtown was fun - we saw the 9pm fireworks from the mall and the midnight ones right out our bedroom window

Cons:

For a 5 star hotel, one would expect excellent service, however that was not the case. The staff were lackadaisical at best. Breakfast took over an hour to come - at first I thought we were invisible, then once the order was taken we had to wait forever. And the bedrooms we’re nothing to write home about at all - I’ve been in motel rooms that were comparable
