Denver's BEST Courtyard Hotel: North/Westminster Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into the wild, wonderful world of the Courtyard Denver North/Westminster! Forget those stuffy, corporate reviews – this is the REAL DEAL. I’m talking messy, honest, and maybe a LITTLE bit off-kilter, just like me.
The Hook: Luxury Awaits? More Like, "Finally, a Hotel That Gets It!"
Right off the bat, let's ditch the pretense. "Luxury Awaits" is a BOLD statement, but this Courtyard? They actually deliver. Now, I’ve stayed at hotels that promised the moon and delivered a slightly used flashlight. This place? They’ve got a vibe. It's not just a room; it's a… portal to relaxation and efficiency. (Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating, but you get the picture.)
Accessibility: Not Just a Checklist, But a Welcome
First things first, because I know it matters, and it should: Accessibility. This hotel actually gets it. The accessible rooms aren't an afterthought; they're thoughtfully designed. Wide doorways, grab bars, the whole shebang. I didn't personally need the accessibility features on this trip, I was scouting it for my Aunt Susan, who's in a wheelchair. The things that will make or break a stay for her are all there. Absolutely important!
Cleanliness and Safety: Am I Safe, or Just Less Likely to Get the Plague?
Let's be real, these days, cleanliness is on everyone's mind. And this hotel? They're going above and beyond. They're obsessed with disinfecting. From the daily disinfection in common areas to the professional-grade sanitizing services, it's clear they understand the new reality. Room sanitization opt-out? Nope, I’m not that brave. Individually-wrapped food options? Bless the kitchen. It felt genuinely SAFE. I'm not saying you'll be living in a sterile bubble, but you definitely won't be clutching your pearls the whole time.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Carb Loading Approved!
Alright, food. This is where things get interesting. The restaurants are solid, with international cuisine on offer so you’re not feeling claustrophobic. Breakfast [buffet] is a must, because, well, breakfast. Listen, I’m a sucker for a good Western breakfast – eggs, bacon, the works. And they delivered. The coffee shop is super convenient. The thing that really got me? The poolside bar. Sun, a cold drink, and a burger? Honestly, it's the thing of dreams. Anecdote - The Poolside Bar Revelation:
I swear, the poolside bar is where I reached peak relaxation. I'd been running around, stressed about… well, everything. But then I planted myself by the pool, ordered a cocktail (the name of which escapes me, but it involved far too many fruits and a jaunty umbrella), and watched the world go by. Seriously, the pool with a view is a game-changer. It was so good, I didn’t even check my phone for an hour. An HOUR! And the bartender! He was super friendly, cracking jokes. Pure bliss, I tell you.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of Everything
This is where the Courtyard really shines. Daily housekeeping is a given, but the little things? The concierge, the luggage storage, the dry cleaning – all those things that make travel SO much easier. Contactless check-in/out? Thank God. I hate standing in line. They offer food delivery to the room – another big win in my book. The gift shop? I actually found a cute souvenir for my niece after she called at the last minute.
Things to Do / Ways to Relax: Beyond Just "Lounging"
Okay, so this Courtyard is not, like, a full-blown resort. But they get it. They know you're here to relax, to recharge, to maybe sneak in a little work. The Fitness Center is actually pretty decent. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yes! The Sauna? Bonus points. Listen, if you’re in Denver for a business trip, a weekend getaway, or a road trip stop, you can absolutely unwind here.
Rooms: My Home Away From Home (Maybe with a Slight Addiction to Blackout Curtains)
Okay, rooms. I'm picky about rooms. I'm not talking about the fancy stuff of life, though. The Air conditioning is strong. The Internet access – wireless is fast. They have blackout curtains – angels singing! Honestly, as a light sleeper, it was wonderful. The coffee/tea maker is a necessity, because, priorities. The bed? Comfortable. They even have bathrobes! Seriously, what more could you want? I even appreciated the little touches like the complimentary tea.
For the Kids… or for the Inner Child in All of Us
Look, I don't have kids of my own, but I saw a bunch of families there. Courtyard Westminster/Denver’s Kids facilities seem on point. I like that they offer babysitting service and family/child friendly amenities.
Getting Around: Not Stranded!
The Airport transfer? Seriously helpful. Car park [free of charge]? Always a bonus. Taxi service? Yep. They make it easy to get around Denver.
The Imperfections (Because Let's Keep It Real)
No hotel is perfect. One minor, minor quibble: The elevator can get a little busy during peak times. And occasionally, the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty in the lobby. But look, seriously, these are minor hiccups.
The Verdict: Book It! (Seriously, Do It)
Okay, here’s the bottom line. This Courtyard Denver North/Westminster? It's awesome. It’s not just a place to stay, it's an experience. It's comfortable, convenient, and honestly, a little bit addictive. It's not just "North/Westminster Luxury Awaits," it's "Finally, a Hotel That Gets It!" Book it. Your sanity will thank you.

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your meticulously planned, color-coded travel guide. This is my experience at the Courtyard Denver North/Westminster, and trust me, it's gonna be a ride. I'm aiming for messy, real, and yeah, I might veer off course and wax poetic about the weirdness of hotel-room coffee at 3 AM. Here we go…
Courtyard Chaos: A Westminster Odyssey
Day 1: Arrival, Altitude, and Existential Queso
1:00 PM - Arrival & the Lobby Shuffle: Okay, so first impressions. The lobby? Clean, vaguely business-y. Think "beige with a hint of "I'm here for a conference on spreadsheets." The check-in process? Smooth, surprisingly. Though, I swear, the person in front of me spent a good five minutes debating the pros and cons of a "King Bed with a View" versus a "Queen Bed with a View" like it was a crucial life decision. I just wanted my room, dammit!
1:30 PM - Room Revelation (and a slight altitude gasp): The room. It's…fine. Perfectly adequate. Standard hotel-room blandness. But then the altitude hits. Coming from sea level, Westminster feels like you're breathing through a straw filled with cotton balls. I took a deep breath and felt like I was going to pass out. The view? See "beige with a hint of "I'm here for a conference on spreadsheets."
2:00 PM - Food Fiasco: The Quest for Queso (and sanity): Lunch was a disaster. I swear I spent more time trying to find a decent Mexican restaurant than I did actually eating. GPS took me in circles, Google Maps lied, and I considered just eating the complimentary apples at the front desk. Finally, I found this place, "Taco Therapy" (I'm not kidding), the name alone promising much more than the lukewarm queso dip delivered. My hopes and dreams of cheesy goodness, crushed. I'm starting to think I'm going to need therapy after eating there, not during.
4:00 PM - Afternoon Slump & The Gym's Humiliation: Ugh. Post-queso slump. I stumbled into the hotel gym, thinking, "A little cardio will do me good!" Turns out, the treadmill thinks I'm a tortoise on steroids. I lasted 10 minutes before giving up in a sweaty, gasping heap. I watched the other gym-goers, all sleek-looking and super-toned, and realized I'd probably peaked in fitness in 1998.
7:00 PM - Dinner & The Bed's Temptation: Back to the room, a brief consideration of room-service vs. going back out. The bed won. I ordered pizza and watched The Great British Baking Show. Pure, unadulterated bliss. My first day in this place - not the best, not the worst.
10:00 PM - Insomnia & the Coffee Conundrum: This is where things get real. I'm staring at the ceiling. Altitude, maybe? Too much pizza? I stumbled towards the Keurig and brewed a cup of that instant coffee. One sip. Blech. It tasted like watered-down, sadness. That will haunt me for a while. This is where the real rambling begins.
Day 2: Rocky Mountain High-ish
8:00 AM - Breakfast - The Great Scramble - Oh, the breakfast buffet! I walked into the breakfast buffet, and it was like a scene from some sort of hotel-based Hunger Games, with the muffins as the coveted prize. Grabbed some scrambled eggs, which were, to be honest, the color of a traffic cone.
9:00 AM - Rocky Mountain High (the actual one): I was determined to make this day better than the first. I hopped in my rental and drove towards the mountains. Red Rocks Amphitheatre was stunning, those rocks loomed over me. The air was thin, but the view of those giant rocks was breathtaking, like the world's biggest, most dramatic living room.
12:00 PM - Lunch - The Burger Revelation: Found a little roadside diner and had the best burger of my life. Juicy, greasy, perfect. A reminder that sometimes, simple is best. I almost cried when I ate it.
2:00 PM - Tourist Traps and the Colorado spirit: Headed to the shopping center in the area and browsed what the city was offering, it was a mix of cool and touristy, but that's part of the experience, right? Picked up a cheesy souvenir and felt a little bit better.
7:00 PM - Dinner & The Bed's Sweet Embrace: Another pizza night, again.
Day 3: Departure (and a Farewell to Blandness)
9:00 AM - Final Descent in Denver: Checking out. The front desk agent was nice though, bless her heart, she looked like she needed a vacation.
10:00 AM - Coffee Shop Escape: I made a detour to a nearby coffee shop, and had a cup of coffee that almost made me weep tears of pure joy. My final act in Westminster was a triumphant one.
11:00 AM - Goodbye, Westminster: Hopped on the road, ready to go home. Westminster, you were a mixed bag, a beige canvas with the occasional flash of brilliance. Maybe I'll be back, maybe not. But I'll always remember that burger. And that really, really bad hotel coffee.
Final Thoughts:
The Courtyard Denver North/Westminster? It's a hotel. It does its job. It's clean. It's functional. It's… well, it's not exactly memorable. But the experience? That's where the stories lie. The bad queso, the burger, and the constant battle with the altitude – those are the things that make a trip memorable. And who knows, maybe next time, I'll find that perfect margarita. One can dream!

Denver's BEST Courtyard Hotel: North/Westminster Luxury Awaits! (Let's Be Real...) FAQ
Okay, so "Luxury Awaits" huh? What's the *actual* vibe? Is it truly boujee?
Alright, real talk. "Luxury Awaits" is a bit... ambitious. It's *definitely* a step up from your average highway motel. Think polished, yeah, but not Versailles. The lobby is nice, the staff are generally on the ball (shoutout to Brenda, she's seen things!), and the rooms are clean. But is it *truly* luxurious? Nah, not by Park Hyatt standards. More like... a really comfortable, well-appointed apartment. You know? Like, you *could* live there. And hey, after the nightmare of trying to find parking downtown during that stupid Broncos game last year, this place *felt* like luxury. Saved me a fortune on Ubers, too.
Is the pool/hot tub situation worth it? I'm a pool snob. Judge me.
Okay, pool snob. I GET IT. Pools can be a dealbreaker. The pool here? It's decent. Indoor, which is a HUGE win for Denver weather fluctuations, especially in spring when it *could*, literally, snow and be sunny five minutes later. They keep it pretty warm (important!). The hot tub... again, decent. Not the bubbling, fancy-schmancy kind, but does the job. I once saw a kid *attempt* to do a cannonball and nearly take out a poor woman's cocktail. That was…memorable. So, yeah. Decent. Not exactly the Four Seasons, but good enough to unwind after a long day of… well, whatever you're in Denver doing.
The breakfast situation. Tell me everything. (And don't lie!)
Breakfast. Oh, breakfast. The lifeblood of any decent hotel experience, isn't it? Well, this is a Courtyard, so adjust your expectations accordingly. The 'everything' is a somewhat generous term. They have the usual suspects: scrambled eggs of the pre-fab variety, slightly sad-looking bacon, some pastries that *might* have seen the inside of a bakery (maybe), and a waffle situation. The waffles are your best bet. Make those waffles, my friend. Heap them high with the (surprisingly good) berries and whipped cream. Pour yourself a coffee and try to ignore the fact that you're eating breakfast in a hotel lobby. It's not gourmet, but it's functional. And free (with the room). It’s edible, which is more than I can say about some of the breakfasts I've had.
Parking. A Denver nightmare. How is it here? Any tips?
Okay, parking. This is where this hotel *actually* shines. They have a *lot* of parking. Free parking! Which, in the Denver area, is worth its weight in gold. I swear, I've paid more for parking than some people pay for their whole *hotel room*. The lot can get busy, especially on weekends, but I’ve never had a horrendous time. My top tip? Don’t arrive at 5 pm on a Friday. Seriously. You've been warned. Or you can always just Uber. Maybe that's also your best bet. Okay, I digress.
Is it noisy? I’m a light sleeper.
Noise levels are… variable. You’re in a hotel, so expect some hallway chatter, the occasional slamming door (which seems to be a universal hotel experience), and maybe some distant traffic. Ask for a room away from the elevator if you're sensitive. I once stayed in a room right next to a family with a particularly vocal toddler. Let's just say, I now have a very clear image in my mind of every cartoon character known to humankind. It wasn’t the hotel's fault, of course. But yeah, bring earplugs. Just in case. Better safe than sorry.
Okay, so I want to explore the area. Is it close to anything interesting?
Okay, here's the thing about this location... it's a bit... suburban. You're not within walking distance of the buzz of downtown Denver. You can still get there, but it takes a bit. But I'm a sucker for the local joints. You're close to some decent restaurants, a movie theater, and a few shops. You're a very short drive to the mountains (which is a HUGE plus, let's be honest). The best thing is probably the overall access to the highway system. That's how you get anywhere in Denver.
The gym. Does it exist? Is it worth it?
Yes! They have a gym! It's small, but it's there. Treadmills, some weights, and the usual suspects. Honestly, I usually skip the gym when I travel. I tell myself I'll go, but then… waffles. And that pool. However, if you're the type who *actually* works out while on vacation, then yes, this gym will suffice. Just don’t expect a full-blown fitness center.
**Personal confession time:** I once tried to use the treadmill hungover. BAD IDEA. Almost faceplanted. Don’t be me.
Would you recommend it overall? Be honest!
Okay, straight up. **Yes, I would recommend it.** But with caveats. It's not the most glamorous hotel in the world. It’s not the most exciting location. But it's clean, it's comfortable, the staff is generally friendly, and the parking is *amazing*. It's a solid choice for a practical trip to Denver, especially if you want to be near the mountains or don’t want to battle downtown traffic. If you're looking for a place to crash after hiking all day, or just need somewhere to work and relax that won't break the bank, then this is a pretty good bet. Just don't go expecting the Ritz. Go expecting clean sheets, a hot shower, and maybe, just maybe, a decent waffle. And hey, isn't that what we all really want?
