Gravity Haus Denver — Hotel in Denver

This is not a full serviceveryvery

Beautiful decor, great neighborhood, good stuff within walking distance. BUT sadly, the hotel had problems.

The most significant problem here is the motion-activated lights in the bathroom, in both the toilet/shower room and the outer sink/wardrobe room. The lights turn on at the slightest movement, and they are BRIGHT when they come on. You can adjust the brightness level with a button, but once the timer runs out and the lights turn off, they default back to their brightest setting and come back on again at full brightness. This is a big problem, as in the middle of the night if you need to use the bathroom, the light absolutely blinds you and you can't see a thing. To combat this problem, we had to cover the motion sensor with paper and tape to prevent the lights in the sink/wardrobe room from turning on at all. Another problem with the motion lights is in the shower room - the timer on the lights is quite brief, and the lights shut off twice during each shower, leaving me showering in the dark.

Also: The room was so dark that even with all lamps turned on and the curtains open in broad daylight, I had to use a flashlight to see what I was getting out of my suitcase. ​There were more robe or coat hooks on the wall near the foot of the bed, but they were unusable - if something was hanging there, there would be no clearance through the NARROW space between the foot of the bed and the wall. ​The aforementioned narrow passage between the foot of the bed and the wall was problematic, as there were only a few inches of room to squeeze through, and the wall corner at that location is RIPE for stubbed toes. ​The sink has no counter space at all, so there's almost nowhere to place the items you need while getting ready. ​The shower had a small shelf on which to place some toiletries, but its location was bad - it's right where you are standing, and I whacked my elbow painfully on it a couple of times. ​The sink faucets are very short - they're so low that when you're rinsing the soap off your hands, you are forced to touch the bottom of the sink, which is kind of gross. The pocket doors on the bathroom are VERY loud. ​The mini fridge made an absolute RACKET the entire time. The walls are very thin. We could hear our neighbors' conversation perfectly. ​Not enough hangars in the wardrobe. ​The Apple TV remote and/or app...

We decided to give this place a shot because the rooms and the place in general looked beyond gorgeous. They are! It's an old apartment building that has been converted into a small boutique hotel. I believe we were told there are 16 rooms total so it definitely feels special staying here.

I'd highly recommend booking (The Wildflower) the restaurant downstairs if you can way in advance if you know you're coming (Open Wednesday-Saturday only though). Overall the place was as gorgeous as it seemed.

The area is really nice and worth noting as well for anyone unfamiliar with this part of Denver.

Unfortunately we had to take off a star simply because of the noise issues... On our first night we were woken up by a delivery truck right outside the window. Not the hotels fault but sadly if you can't sleep at a hotel it kind of defeats the purpose, especially at the price you're paying. The AC in 201 was fairly loud, but we got used to that eventually. Sadly it was dripping water droplets on us though... The last night we stayed here was probably the worst with the noise as our neighbor had guests come up and they were screaming until 3:30-4:00 in the morning. Sadly you can hear everyone and everything in the hotel so I'd keep that in mind when booking.

I wish I could bump the stars to 3.5 instead because it was a rough sleeping experience wise. The hotel is beyond cute though and Gavin was so welcoming and friendly! I'd say the hotel services were amazing and very friendly, but of course you can only talk with someone until 11:00 PM.

Overall it was a nice once in a lifetime experience, but sadly we like our sleep a little too much. I'd recommend for a night rather than several.

Again, we only have experience in one of the 16 rooms so it might be different...
