Bottom Line

As of spring 2015, this Quality Inn located just off of Interstate 70 in northeast Denver was about to be rebranded as a Rodeway Inn. The two-pearl roadside hotel resembles a budget motel from the outside and could use some updating in furniture and upholstery. All the same, rooms are spacious and include a mini-fridge and microwave. Breakfast is plentiful and free, but, 20 minutes to the airport is a bit of a trek for a hotel with airport in its name.

Oyster Hotel Review

Rodeway Inn

Scene

Bright and clean with old, dated, chain-style furnishings

Frequented mostly by construction and oil workers, this two-story hotel more closely resembles a motor inn both inside and out. The lobby and breakfast areas are bright and welcoming but, like the rooms, equipped with older and worn furniture, curtains, lamps, and upholstery. The walls are adorned with landscape pictures of mountains and rock formations, and a lounge area has an ATM, couch, chairs, coffee table, and a well-used communal computer. The breakfast area is adjoining, and consists of old, simple tables and chairs, a juice and griddle counter, and a TV in one corner.

Location

Desolate, isolated neighborhood nearly a 20-minute drive from both downtown and the airport

The hotel is in northeast Denver at the intersection of Interstate 70 -- Colorado’s main artery to Denver International Airport and the mountains -- and I-225, putting virtually every location in Denver within driving access. Denver International Airport is still a drive: about 18 minutes without traffic. The Denver Zoo is about 13 minutes away by car, and downtown Denver is less than 20 minutes away. The Stapleton neighborhood and CU hospital are about a seven-minute drive away. There's little of interest around the hotel, though; there is a Denny’s in the same parking lot and a Starbucks about 13 minutes (walking) down the road. Expect a 20-minute drive to the airport.

Rooms

Spacious but tired, with worn and mismatched chain furnishings

Although relatively clean and extremely spacious, with sofa sitting areas next to beds, the rooms could unquestionably use an update. Curtains are heavy and old, while bed coverings, furniture, and carpets don’t match, and mattresses are thin. The wooden dresser and nightstands are chipped and scratched. Bathrooms are clean, however, with ample counter space and large shower/tub combinations. Each room has reliable Wi-Fi, a mini-fridge, microwave, safe, hairdryer, and ironing facilities. Some rooms allow smoking.
