You cannot beat the location of this hotel if you are going to City Park area. I love the culture of the hotel and room. It was clean and had a ton of charm.
Great room to n an old fashioned boutique hotel. The location outside is a bit rough and tumble and is undergoing construction, like much of Denver. It is in a good area near the Botanic Gardens and nice homes.
Nice space and relatively clean room. Do wish there was somewhere to hang towels and fix the leaky faucet in the kitchen. Struggled to clean plates as there were not cleaning supplies. Appreciated the amenities and I would stay here again! The homeless were a bit of a nuisance but manageable. But overall, a very pleasant stay!

I thought my room was very nice and clean. My only reservations with the property was that the area was unsafe. If you walk a half of mile to the east where my son lives , the area is better. I would not walk at night alone in this area.
It's always nice to stay at the Holiday Chalet. We didn't get our usual room, which is amazing, but the room we had was sufficient for our quick visit.

The property is surrounded by homeless people and a is a little uncertain whether there would be a group of people sitting on the steps. There was no remote in the room - for my shower this morning I had to wait 7 minutes for hot water. Overall the room was clean.
This was such a beautiful and unique place to stay. I want to come back again so I can see more of the gorgeous rooms. There is just so much history and personality to the place.
I booked this based off being close to a pre concert meet up at a local restaurant. The area around it was across the street from a bus stop. The area around the hotel was covered with trash and had a lot of unhoused people. No one bothered me, but I was a little uncomfortable walking back post concert by myself. My room had an ac unit which was nice but only drapes and with it being seconds from a brightly lit gas station, the curtains blocked the air, definitely need blinds instead. It worked for what I needed and was clean inside which is what the best you can hope for
I absolutely loved this place!! I stayed in the Helena suite and it was absolutely beautiful. There was a small kitchen, a sun room and a cute little bathroom. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Incredibly accommodating in every way!! It really felt like home away from home. I’ll be staying here again whenever I have the opportunity!!
Nicely styled room, unique and comfortable. Enjoyed walking to Cheesman Park and dinner. Found a parking spot, after being patient. On Colfax, so sound and pedestrian traffic was what I would expect.

To no fault of this facility the area right around the hotel is a little sketchy. Loud parties most of the night until @3-4am in the hotel. Our room was clean and we made the most of it.

Bit above Meh
Located in a shady part of town. For, the price it was a decent deal. Housekeeping was nice. Rooms clean. Due for a face lift. All in all. It was ok.
Great hidden gem. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of hot water and good pressure. The host was great, she answered all of our questions completely and promptly.
Other reviews mention Colfax being a bit sketchy. This street is a main thoroughfare, however, the neighborhood on either side of the road is beautiful with tree-lined streets and beautiful old houses. For us, the area is a fun mix of beauty, history and access to activities.
We had fun and would gladly stay here again.

Easy to check in & out. Room was clean
The Hotel was in a noisy area. Lot of homeless people around the Hotel asking for money.
I also felt like the Hotel was more like a Hostel than a Hotel. Definitely over priced.
I liked the room I stayed in, but unfortunately I wouldn't stay there again.
We visit Denver often and just found our new favoriate place to stay! We stayed in the Albert Suite 1 and it was wonderful. The bed was like sleeping on a big, giant, fluffy cloud. I kept waking up, but in a good way . . . "It's only 2:00 am? I feel like I have been sleeping for hours!"
If you're not from around here, the location may be a bit off-setting, but you just have to get used to a little Colfax road noise (which dies down around 10:00 pm) and take advantage of the lovely neighborhoods surrounding the Chalet. Pete's 24 hour diner is just down the block and you shouldn't miss it! 81 (?) years in business and still serving great food!
The Holiday Chalet is charming, old world class!

It is a great old house and our room was spacious and clean, with a really comfortable bed and a great little sitting room. There is also a small kitchen, with a full-sized fridge which was stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. We were there for only 1 night, attending a concert at a nearby venue, so we checked in around 5 PM and checked out at 5 AM the following day.
Although I had some knowledge of the area, I was a bit taken aback by the homeless population. My daughter and I were not harassed at all, but given that parking is on the street, we were super vigilant and cautious. The small amount of interaction we had was just a polite greeting, completely non-threatening.
This being said, I would stay again. Checking in and out was super easy, the rate was reasonable, the room and hallways were clean, the Wi-Fi worked well, and there was security on the premises. I do think it is important for folks to google the area so they are prepared. I would not recommend it to a person traveling alone.
