El Benson Hotel & Faculty Club

The rooms were surprisingly good, and they kindly accommodated an early check-in around noon. The downstairs bar had decent drinks too. It’s a bit far from the city center, but overall a solid pick

Room was great.Comfy bed and lots of extra nice stuff.Food was delicious.

Beautiful hotel with friendly helpful staff. Located walking distance from from UC health and many restaurants.

The closest hotel to Unversity of Colorado Anschutz medical center on the east side. Nice gym too.

The Benson is the best place to stay if you’re searching for a quiet space close to the hospital. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is super accommodating. Patrice was especially helpful, and the entire staff were incredibly kind. I can’t speak highly enough about their hospitality. I also appreciate the art and having a restaurant and bar on-site. Valet parking is available, and self-parking across the street was $20 per day.

Check in was fast and easy. I liked the security of having to use the room key for the elevator to work and to go to the gym. Valet was incredibly nice and knowledgable. He allowed us to park in front of the hotel during check in and unload all our luggage, as well as explained how the parking across the street worked and he explained the cost of parking in the lot vs. valet parking.

The hotel is gorgeous but the service is not what one would encounter at most hotels of this caliber. When we couldn’t get the valet phone number to work, and I called the front desk, they seemed put out that i couldn’t contact valet directly. There was some deep sighing on their end. And when I requested to pay for an extended checkout, I was initially told “yes”. But then got corrected to “no” by the manager. I don’t think she knew I could hear her tone, but I could. The front desk agent was very apologetic, but it was a sour experience. I wasn’t asking for a *free* room, I wanted to pay the extra. There is actually signage in the room saying you can request this as an option. Also, no one asked how our stay was when I checked out. So that was in line with the rest of the stay. The rooms themselves are gorgeous and the hotel is beautiful. Their restaurant is also delicious. We ate there twice. The valet gentleman was very good, and took excellent care of our car.

Everything was exactly as described. The staff was very friendly, the food was great, and the facility is beautiful. This is one of the cleanest hotels I have stayed in. It was spotless.

First night, 90 min wait for dinner. Second night, called downstairs 3 times no answer. Walked down stares and asked attendant do you have fans? Attendant says no, no fans. Call maintenance they bring a fan.
