Some time ago, we had received a gift certificate for a free night's stay in the presidential suite of one of the local luxury hotels, and since yesterday was my birthday, we decided to use the gift and see what a presidential suite might be like.
The suite was located on the 11th floor of the hotel - it was a secure floor, you could only access it with a key. Looking out from the balcony, we saw the Denver skyline against the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
We were told that Mitt Romney stayed in this suite during one of his recent visits to Denver, but in spite of that, it was very nice. Spacious - oh my goodness, I think the entire suite was larger than our whole house! The sign on the back of the door said that the nightly rate was $1,500, but I know the person who gave us this gift purchased it at a charity auction, so I'm sure it was for much less.
And finally - sunset over the Rockies.....
The gift certificate included a wonderful dinner in the hotel dining room. In my opinion, the true value of a hotel can be judged by its mattress and its towels, and the hotel scored A+ on both of these. But after this - it will be back to Holiday Inns again!
