Although it's a reasonably priced option, there is no question that the three-floor,
two-and-a-half pearl Ramada Denver Midtown could use an update. Furniture and carpet are old and tired, and rooms are basic and small. Upsides include many restaurants within easy walking distance, the seasonal
outdoor pool, and fast proximity to downtown Denver. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking are free. Note that the hotel shares a parking lot with a Super 8.

Scene
Old and dated chain hotel in major need of renovation
Surrounded by concrete and sharing a parking lot with the
neighboring Super 8 Motel, this three-floor Ramada is not much to look at from the
outside and inside it's a blast back to the 1970s. Although its decor, color
scheme, and furniture are all unattractively beige throughout, the lobby area is
bright and welcoming with a wall of windows and plants to freshen it up. There are snacks, soda, and ice cream for sale in the lobby. A
small outdoor pool that's open in the summer is especially popular with families. The breakfast area doesn't have windows and is decorated with dated, striped wallpaper, so it's a little depressing, but the free breakfast
spread includes a waffle making station that kids love.
Location
In a rundown neighborhood within walking distance of a park; easy driving/shuttle access to downtown attractions
Situated near Interstate 25 in Denver’s Jefferson Park
neighborhood, the Ramada Denver Midtown offers views of the highway across the parking lot, which is shared
with a Super 8 Motel. Confluence Park, where many people congregate to bike,
skateboard and have picnics, is a 15-minute walk away, but the area immediately around the hotel is run down and unattractive. The Denver Aquarium,
Elitch Gardens, and Children’s Museum of Denver are also within a 20-minute
walk, or much quicker drive. The popular La Loma restaurant and a few other shops and bars are within
a five-minute walk of the hotel. Denver International Airport is a 30-minute drive
away.
Rooms
Dated and basic 1970s-style furnishings; issues with housekeeping
Decked out in chintz and floral fabrics, the rooms at the Ramada Denver Midtown look like they haven't been updates since the 1970s or '80s, and the carpets only look somewhat more recently cleaned. All rooms are relatively uniform and small, with floral-printed bedspreads, large
windows with heavy curtains, and a wooden shelf and desk. However, there is free Wi-Fi
access in every room, a mini-fridge, coffeemaker, and flat-screen TV
with cable channels. The plain bathrooms have tile floors, long countertops,
shower/tub combinations, and rather unattractive white and gold-printed wallpaper. Pasts guests have complained of housekeeping issues and thin walls that allow noise to travel between rooms. The hotel has non-smoking rooms, but many guests report smelling smoke throughout.
Features
Free buffet breakfast, parking, Wi-Fi, area shuttle, and outdoor pool
Although it is old and dated, this hotel isn’t a bad value, thanks to its free breakfast buffet, Wi-Fi, and parking. There is a
seasonal outdoor pool, and there's a soda machine alongside snacks and ice cream, all available to purchase. A free shuttle ferries guests to nearby locations such as the Colorado
Convention Center and 16th Street Mall.
