The location was perfect for work. Rooms were on the small side but comfortable and we had a room on a courtyard, which made it very quiet. Walking distance to restaurants, the state capitol, and so forth. Very convenient.

No parking at all, unless you pay for valet parking or use a pay lot, both of which are very expensive. The front desk struggled with my tax-free work credit card and this ended up being the first time I have had to fill out two pages of paperwork to have the tax-free status recorded. Smaller, less expensive hotels have just taken the tax number off the back, so that was frustrating.

Dinner at the bar/restaurant was excellent; staff very helpful; everything was super clean.

There were some design features that could be more thoughtful - having to step on a stool to reach the chain to pull up and down the room darkening shade was kind of an issue; the bright blue temperature light on the mini-fridge made a dark sleep room impossible; the shower head/hand wand position was far too high for a short person; it was better suited for taller individuals. These are not major things, but given the rest of great things this hotel has to offer, it would make the experience that much better.

Clean place, very friendly staff. Great location and on the cheaper side that close to downtown. Overall a very pleasant experience; we would definitely stay there again.

The room we were in was probably the smallest I've ever stayed in. Also, weirdly, you cannot get free coffee in the lobby. You have to pay like $4 for the same coffee you could have brewed in your room from the restaurant. Not sure if the restaurant review should be included, but service was also very slow (inexperienced on all fronts; I don't think it was being intentionally inattentive) at the restaurant and they had a waitress without bar experience bartending so she wasn't a huge help recommending things when they also didn't stock the alcohol to make my very basic go-to drink or back-up go-to (did not have Chambord, Coconut Rum, or Pineapple juice - I'm not asking for anything off-the-wall).

I loved the details! Like the wallpaper in the bathrooms and the darkening shades. Thoughtful touches and the shampoos smelled amazing! We had a great server in the restaurant for dinner. The valets were wonderful as well! I loved having the choice to park in a locked garage. That made me feel so at ease during my stay. We were there for graduation, sharing the photo from outside the property below. It was perfect!

The only thought for improvement that I had was the dress for staff, the servers had uniforms and were great, same for the valet, but some of the other staff had some very eclectic wardrobe choices. It just didn’t seem to fit with the property. Which was lovely! That’s just my opinion though coming from a hospitality background.

The Slate is in an ideal location for downtown fun, especially if attending a conert or ballgame at Coors field. Valet parking was easy to access, and the 16th Street shuttle is just three blocks away. The school theme is really fun, esepcially for those of us old enough to remember things such as typewriters and card catalogs. The breakfast at the Teacher's Lounge was very good - excellent service and a nice variety of offerings, including options for gluten-free folks. Very quiet.

The room was a bit small, and the shower temperature was quite variable.

This hotel, a restored school building, is a unique twist for a city hotel. They've kept many of the school details, which made it fun. The interior was standard modern chain hotel style - nothing offense or unique. The location is close to everything but not particularly close to any one attraction. We were driving multiple locations and felt it was very centrally located.

The parking situation isn't ideal. Valet parking is very expensive. The lots close by are more expensive than advertised and feel exposed. There is street parking with meters, with very long enforced times.

What can you say, my wife is a teacher...she thought she died and went to heaven. The reconfiguration of the school is awesome and the rooms are totally cool and reminiscent of their past. The food options were good and the late bar is nice. Good setting to hang outside in the urban evening and relax.

The place is really well done. With that, the price tag is slightly higher than I would classify as fitting the venue. But you are in downtown Denver and near lots of fun stuff to do.

The shared spaces were beautifully appointed. The fireplace was gorgeous, the furnishings were beautiful, and the bar was inviting The building is historic and served as a school for many many many years. It has been beautifully updated and everything was new and clean. The staff was so nice. The manager brought us cookies and ice cream for dessert and the ambiance was very friendly. I had a skirt steak over a Cesar salad that was very tasty in the restaurant.

They need to inform guests that there are pulldown blackout shades available and inform the guests how to make them work. It is very hard to go and stay asleep without the shades since it is so bright on the street at night and the large windows let in an enormous amount of light. I wish they had a swimming pool.

Aesthetically very well executed, great use of space in the rooms, beds and linens were very comfortable. Fireplace in the lobby and front “porch” are great. Front desk and housekeeping staff were all very friendly.

If I were to say anything even slightly negative, I guess the location is a little off putting but also not the worst. I rode a scooter most of the day one day and just made sure I got back to the hotel before dark. Easy breezy.

Not only did we feel super nostalgic from staying in a hotel that used to be a school, the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating! We received a text every day asking how our experience was and if we needed any assistance. The food and drinks were great too! And the 24 hour market was very convenient. Great property and stay overall!
