10 stars out of 10

Very nice hotel in a great location downtown. This is my first visit to Denver (although I've been to the airport plenty of times, but the airport is no where near the city). There is an outdoor "shopping mall" area near the airport that seems to be a center for dining and shopping, although it seems devoid of any character that would identify it as Denver. No cowboy hats, no Rocky Mountain High (you could walk a few blocks and see them), same generic American mall experience. A little disappointing, but maybe you need to get out of the city to see "Colorado" in any substantial way. Colorado Springs and Pueblo had more western character than the downtown area, but that's probably not a surprise. The hotel is across the street from the convention center.

Hyatt's are very nice to stay in - almost a Ritz Carlton experience with the staff being exceptionally well trained and attentive to customer needs. Nice bar area in the lobby, and a sit down dining area as well. The room I had was very nice, large TV (although picture wasn't very good). Excellent room service.
