The valet team is the first face and last face of the Magnolia experience. They make one feel immediately welcome. The front desk is the second face and second last face of the Magnolia experience, the business experience. It is painless and pleasant. Lots of smiling faces and all very helpful. In between, the Magnolia has many others, some of whom we see and others in the background who all contribute to a comfortable boutique experience. If one chooses, the Magnolia is extremely well situated for restaurants (there are many very good restaurants), all major sports events, concerts, museums and most busniess.

The king suite was an amazing value and the hotel is marvelous. The staff, however, did not win a place in my heart!

The Magnolia is a really fun hotel with a hipster decorating scheme. I stayed there for a convention in October of 2011. It's walking distance from the Colorado Convention Center and convenient to most anyplace downtown.

The room itself had very comfortable bedding. I stayed in a Fireplace Suite and really loved how cozy it was to come back to the room and enjoy the gas fireplace and the pretty, modern touches. They also have a daily complimentary cocktail, cookies and milk at night and a big breakfast spread every morning with everything included in the price. I stayed high enough up (second to top floor) so that I didn't have any problem with noise as other reviewers mentioned.

Also used the fitness center, which, while not huge like a Hyatt or other big chain, was more than large enough to accommodate the people who were there at any given time. They had treadmills, ellipticals, a big set of free weights and a few other things. No pool.

Overall, this is a very good value for downtown Denver.

Love the Magnolia. Friendly and helpful staff. Great location.
