Some folks like the full-on ultra modern hotel experience...I on the other hand like hotels that are historical and have character...The oxford hotel in Denver fits this description...It has quite a history going back to the 1970's when Willie Nelson and other burgeoning stars of the 60's era worked and performed here...built in 1891 This old girl has aged well, and even the roos have classic traditional old style furniture...(Being a western dude with Boots and Cowoy hat, I enjoyed having my hats on 20 of the four poster high bed, that was so charmingly high, it had a small two step stool to get up to it? (GRIN) But what really makes this experience GREAT is the efforts of the individual staff...From Lupe, a long time employee who keeps everything sparkling clean around here, while cheerfully greeting guests everyday...Also the desk staff and the front bell staff have been great...including Otaca, (one of several who took me where I wanted to go within a couple of miles around here, whether I wanted to go to a museum or dinner, they always were available to drive me and pick me up when I was done...an old style touch you cannot get from most hotels...They were all great, but I do remember Danny, Otaca, Dave and Stuart as all being very friendly and attentive every day...I have had a better experience here than in the last two Hiltons I stated at...Also, their location is GREAT, about a half block from the old Union Train Station which has been turned into a multitude of food and shop businesses, and cofortabled desk and lounging areas for guests...So if you like your hotels a little older and run-in, with a staff that makes you feel right at home everyday...I would strongly encourage you to select the Oxford when in Denver...You and your family will have a wonderful experience, mainly due to the attentive and cheerful staff here. I rest my case for a stay at the classic old Oxford...(As comfortable as the old shoes by that name? (LOL)
