Kimpton Claret Hotel by IHG, Denver

It's not good value for...

Liked: The hotel boasts an elegant building and a sophisticated aesthetic. We required a microwave, which was provided upon request. The bed was comfortable
Disliked: The hotel lacks on-site parking, and valet parking incurs a steep $55 USD nightly fee. The room's cleanliness was unsatisfactory, with food stains on the blanket, dirty cotton swabs in the toothbrush glass, and hair in the bathroom floor and sink. Additionally, the heating system was excessively noisy.

Exceptional

Liked: Very clean and elegant, would definitely stay again
Disliked: The ice machine wasn’t on the particular floor I stayed on but didn’t mind walking down to the next to get some

It was a very beautiful...

Liked: The room was very nice and comfortable. We were able to walk and get food at times. Even though there is no free parking at the hotel, there was plenty of street parking, just needed to be mindful of the time since the street parking is only for two hours at a time. We were doing a lot of activities, so not at the hotel much during the day so the parking situation was manageable.
Disliked: No complimentary breakfast and no free parking lot attached to the property. I was charged an extra ammenity fee of $70. When I booked, I was told that everything was included, including a resort fee. I spoke with front desk and she said they received a different amount than what I was charged on booking.com (about 70 less than what I paid). I was originally told by font desk staff that they put a hold on my account of $200 for any possible damages and that I would receive it back. I should have been told about their fee from the beginning so i could have told them and showed them I already paid and that the email said everything was included. It's not nice to be hit with a surprise charge, especially when I was already charged for it. My other issue is that they were not able to help me when I called. There should be some knowledge about why i was charged a certain amount to book but the hotel is saying they did not receive it all.
