When I first checked in I was checked into an unturned room by housekeeping (according to the guy at the front desk). Pictures provided. I wasn't bothered by this at all because I understand accidents and mistakes happen and they corrected the issue quick and simple which I appreciated much. After being checked into a different room. The room was comfortable. Clean. The two lights on the headboard were loose and falling off and didn't work at all. But the room still had plenty of light with other lamps. Still will stay again here despite the other negative reviews. I didn't see any tweakers or rude sketchy people outside. I did notice police patrol the property about twice a night but that just made me feel safe rather than unsafe. The hotel didn't smell like weed at all. Thanks Denver North Hotel.
