Sleep Inn Denver Tech is a value property with an excellent staff and amenities. They have a great hot breakfast.

I work at hopice.We checked in at 1:30pm. A mother, 3 teenage children, 2 were sick, and a 6 month old. We found a marajuana joint by the window, a beer bottle top in the drawer and used chapstick in the room, went downstairs to make report, it was not even acknowledged. Took the teenagers to a concert from 3pm-12am. Myself and the baby stayed in the room and rested. Picked the kids up at 12 and got called at 12:30 saying we has more then 4 people and had to pay for a room or the 1 extra kid had to wait in the lobby for a parent to pick up. I then said I would like to check out. I was denied my cash deposit because of bed linen on the floor, nevermind I paid for the room until noon the next day. Travel all night to Grand Junction Colorado and check my bank and got charged the room, the cash deposit plus 82.00. WHY!!!!!!! Drug use from the employees, drugs in room. Drunks roaming around.And we get removed because OF 1 extra sick kid that was going to get picked uop in a hour as indicated!

We were unhappy with finding coffee and coffee filter still in the pot from a previous occupant. The refrigerator's freezer section was so iced up I couldn't get my freezer packs in them. I told the front desk about this but received no response or apology. When I reported it to Choice Hotels, all I got was an illiterate sorry letter. The motel is tucked away on an odd back street.

I actually had booked with Candlewood Suites for a two week period but my schedule changed the day before. Sleep Inn had middle of the road reviews but I figured I would only need it for a night. I reserved it at $62 after tax & fees with AAA card.

First impressions were not very good. It was hot and the hall ways were not air conditioned. There is an elevator but only on the side of the front desk. The other side of the building only has stairs.

There is a nook in the lobby which they call their business center. It basically is a single desk, desktop computer, monitor, keyboard & printer. It could not have been placed in a worse location, IMHO.. But if you do noy have a laptop with wireless access, you do have an option for getting some work done. Good luck getting on it, though.

I proceeded to my room on the second floor from the back access door. I was concerned about a musty smell and all the smokers outside of the exit door but after getting to my room, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean and did not have any of the musty smell or traces of cigarette smoke. I'm pretty sensitive to smoke so this would have been a show stopper for me.

I looked around to see whether everything worked right and everything did. The CRT style TV was only 28 inch but adequate as the room is not spacious. It does come with all the amenities you might expect and there is someplace to put everything you might have with you unless you travel with the kitchen sink. ;)

I read a lot of complaints about the wireless internet access but I didn't have any of the slow connections people complained about. In fact, it exceeded my expectations and free with the reservation price of the room.

The queen bed was comfortable and I didn't have any trouble getting a good night sleep. The AC was relatively quiet and operates on a thermostat, set and forget. A big concern of mine in hotels is dust mites. I can report that none were detected during my overnight stay.

There is a continental breakfast. Don't expect much. I grabbed a couple of hard boiled eggs, wheat toast, butter & jelly, some coffee and took it back to my room. There also was an electric waffle iron if you like fresh waffles and syrup. I also saw a couple choices of cereal, juices and milk along with some fresh pastries.

Again, the first impression was not great including the young guy at the desk which kept yelling out people's room numbers. If you have a lot of baggage, there is a baggage cart available by the desk, but only one. That's what the guy in front of me was complaining about but the guy at the front desk said, "Someone stole the other one! "

They could use some improvement in the service side of the house.
