Pleasant stay and great location
Pros:

This is a nice personable hotel. Everyone was very helpful and gracious. They communicate well, I had a lamp problem in my room/ I informed via text and it was fixed before I returned. It’s a bit dark in the entire hotel, and room lighting does not get very bright if you are trying to locate things in your suitcase. I used phone flashlight a lot. Also no beverage service in the room - I could not make coffee or tea - complementary coffee only offered in short AM window. The fridge in my room was not on or not working / warm inside. Minor things, but they are what makes it not a 5 star. Beds very comfy, housekeeping very good

Great Location, Comfortable Stay, but Housekeeping and Elite Perks Fell Short
Pros:

I stayed at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco Denver for two nights on a last-minute trip and chose it because the rate was attractive for a downtown location.

The location is excellent and makes it easy to explore downtown Denver on foot. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was surprisingly spacious, and the shower had excellent water pressure with consistently hot water. The hotel’s signature moody aesthetic creates a unique atmosphere, although some guests may find the room lighting a bit too dim.

There are a few areas where the experience fell short. The standard rooms are quite small unless you opt for an upgraded room category. The television is not a true smart TV and instead relies on Google Chromecast, which may matter to travelers who prefer built-in streaming apps. More concerning was the cleanliness of the bathroom. There was noticeable hair in several areas, and the cracked area at the bottom of the shower did not appear particularly clean.

Noise was not a major issue during my stay, but the overall room condition could benefit from more attention to detail. As an IHG Platinum member, I was also disappointed that no room upgrade was offered and that late checkout was unavailable. One of the reasons I remain loyal to hotel brands is for the elite benefits, so that was a missed opportunity.

Overall, if you’re looking for an affordable, well-located hotel in downtown Denver with comfortable accommodations, Hotel Monaco is a solid option. While there are some areas that could be improved, I would likely stay here again for a short trip.

Pros:

Zoltan is awesome. He is the head valet at the hotel. He went above and beyond today to help me get my car fixed. My battery went dead overnight. He tried to jump it for me and RAN back and forth trying to get it done. This is while he is super busy with other guests. I really appreciate his kindness. What a great gentleman.

Good stay, better agent.
Pros:

Had to get in somewhere last minute, the room was comfortable and overall a good stay. Nate was very impressive as the sole night agent on duty, though it was evident another person really needs to be scheduled to manage the duties he was swinging (nightcap bartender, check-in, answering calls, and drink and snack bar attendant. Also finder of the valet.). He dealt with some rude/impatient customers on the phone with the utmost diplomacy while also checking a line of people in. Kudos to him and recommend the Kimpton overall.

The Monaco is awesome
Pros:

We love the Monaco! The service is amazing. This was the first time that we didn't love the bed. The room was exactly what we needed. They go above and beyond to meet your needs. Definitely recommend and will return.
