Residence Inn Denver South – Englewood CO.
8322 South Valley Highway
Englewood, Colorado 80112
Many know you should not drive through Wyoming during January, never mind 2 hours in front of a blizzard. I think the word is … UGH. Indirectly a fun challenge. Very indirectly.
Pulling off the highway to the street where the hotel is located was a breeze. Finding the entrance was a bit more of a challenge. The access resembled more of a private driveway over a hotel entrance at night time. I believe the major problem then was that the sign light was not on.
The check in counter is located in the first building on the left. The parking lot has islands and is not designed for large vehicles. We were some of the last people to check in for the night, and finding a parking place was a challenge with my ¾ ton extended cab/short bed pickup. Reason – most of the vehicles in the parking lot were either full size vans or very large trucks.
Our room was one of the farthest from the main building, which was about 4 buildings away from the designated dog walking area, however it was only a few steps from a side street walking path off the hotel property.
Now, my husband and I currently love the Residence Inn hotel chain, ESPECIALLY the individual apartment floor plans with a private door to the outside. The best thing for when traveling with dogs.
The room and layout was wonderful, and housekeeping staff cleaned and maintained the suite promptly during our stay in the greater Denver area.
The main issue or warning I had was with the parking lot and walkways.
I already mentioned large vehicles will have a difficult time maneuvering within their parking area. If you are pulling any kind of trailer or driving a class A or C you may want to park on the street before pulling into the complex.
As stated above, we were a mere 2 hours ahead of a blizzard. Well, come morning, our walkway was not cleared when we started to walk to the main building for the free breakfast. The parking lot was not cleared. We were one of the last vehicles to leave at 9 am this snow packed lot. Upon returning at 2:30, our walk way still was not cleared, the parking lot failed to be cleared! Sure, the maintenance man created only a path width clearing and huge snow mounds. Where the walk ways were cleared, ice formed. I repeated on the hour for several hours requested salt or sand to be put down. Not until a day and a half after my last call to the front desk was the walkway treated.

Rooms – 2 thumbs up. Free breakfast – 1 thumb up. Dog area – not convenient or accessible during snow storm. Parking lot – failed during winter weather. Would I stay again – yes. However, neither with my pickup truck nor during winter.
