While planning to attend a large scientific meeting at the Denver Convention Center I looked for an alternative to the high-priced hotels in its vicinity. I found Adagio online but wasn't sure if it was close enough or what the experience might be. To those of you wondering the same, let me say that this was perhaps the best B&B experience I've ever had.
As for proximity to the convention center, it was an easy trip on the #15 bus ($2.25), stopping one block away (15th & Stout) inbound and three blocks outbound (17th & Welton). Even after 10 PM I had no problems on public transit.
As for breakfast, Adagio sets the gold standard. I have stayed in places that had no breakfast (found through AirBnB) or a minimal one (commercial pastries and coffee), but owner Helen prepared delicious and varied meals customized for the diverse preferences and dietary needs of the three guests who were there that time. In my days there I had an omelet, a scramble, a quiche, home-made breads, sausages, bacon, and fresh fruit dishes, all served outdoors on a large private patio. I think an Adagio Bed & Breakfast & Lunch & Dinner would become my new home.
The Victorian house was beautifully restored by Helen herself and my room (The Handel) was large and comfortable with a large bathroom and shower en suite.
The live-in manager Bill is a friendly and knowledgeable Colorado native who makes sure the coffee is ready when you get up and keeps your mug full. I had such a good time eating, soaking up the outdoors, and chatting with Helen, Bill and the other guests that I was late to the conference every day.
If I ever return to Denver I will make it a point to try to return to Adagio.
