The Rally Hotel at McGregor Square — Hotel in Denver

The Rally’s top floor houses 6 penthouse suites—5 are 2 bedroom suites, 1 is a 1 bedroom suite. Of the 6 penthouses, only 4 have balconies. The 1 bedroom suite and one of the 2 bedroom suites do not have balconies. My boyfriend and I were fortunate enough to book the one bedroom penthouse suite and here’s our review of it. (There is also information on parking and other fees we wish we knew about below!)

Bedroom: This penthouse has one bedroom with a king bed, a 50in mounted, flat screen TV, a good sized walk-in closet, and large windows that look out over Coors field. The windows are kind of dirty and have a few paint marks on them but it doesn’t affect visibility or sunlight too much. The windows also vent open for a nice, cool breeze if you’re interested in that. Also, blackout curtains that made sleeping in very easy!

The bedding and pillows were AMAZING. Truly like sleeping in clouds. I’m going to miss the quality of sleep I had while at the Rally.

One thing I didn’t like was that the bedroom is so dark! There are light switches that do not connect to anything so if you like to read in bed or sleep with the fan on, I suggest a different room/hotel. There is a lamp in the room but it wasn’t bright enough to light up the room. Also, the bedside lamps didn’t have lightbulbs for some reason.

Bathroom: The penthouse 1 bedroom has 1.5 bathrooms. The half bathroom is located on the left when you first walk in and the master bathroom is located on the left in the bedroom. Both bathrooms are very beautifully designed, spacious, and comfortable. Just like the bedroom, there are light switches in both that do not connect to anythin

The master bath is very large and includes a double vanity and a light dimmer to dim the brightness of the lights. Although the website says there is a soaking tub in this suite, THERE IS NOT. Please be aware of this before you book this suite if you’re looking to take a bubble bath during your stay. I called down and Carlos at the front desk seemed just as surprised by this as we were.

One thing I didn’t really like was that the toilet paper is one-ply. We ended up buying some 2-ply from Target but we would have loved for this hotel to have a higher quality toilet paper. Also, we didn’t have a hair dryer but the front desk was able to find one for us and bring it up.

Living room/Kitchen: The “full” kitchen includes a microwave, mini fridge, a deep sink, and plenty of counter space. There are also plates, flatware, bowls, and cups. There is also a bar with utensils to mix drinks yourself, and a snack table with things like nuts and crackers if you get hungry. There is not a stove or oven so don’t plan on doing any cooking!

The living room has a 50in mounted flat screen TV, a leather couch (no pullout bed), and large windows that vent open. Just like in the bedroom and both bathrooms, there are light switches that do not control anything but the living room is much brighter than the bedroom. If you like to read, I recommend using the living room! There is also a dimmer in the living/kitchen that you can use to dim the lights.

Entertainment: The TVs use Xfinity and there are VERY limited channels and no pay-per-view, on demand, or movies. My boyfriend and I like to watch HULU, HBO MAX, etc and this was not available on these TVs. We ended up buying a fire stick from Target, plugged it in to the TV, and enjoyed that much better than the cable.

Parking: Although the website says there is on-site self parking for $45/night, THIS IS NOT TRUE. The only on-site parking available is valet for $49/night. I would recommend the valet parking if you can! There’s an unaffiliated public parking lot across the street if you would like to do that as well.

Comments: -There is a freezer with pre-packaged ice that you can grab -Maid service is by request on -Property is non-smoking $500 fee for smoking in a standard room, $1000 fee for smoking in a penthouse -Incidentals are $50/night and...

We booked this hotel because we wanted to come to Denver for the last series of the baseball season. We enjoyed our stay and the fun things we did in Denver while we were there. The trip was ruined by the reservation process and the lack of professionalism of the front desk. I made a reservation a couple months earlier and was immediately inundated with promotional emails. I called to see if I could change my reservation to take advantage of baseball tickets offered with one of the room packages. The person at the front desk helped change my reservation for one 3-day and one 1-day reservation which included tickets to the game. (I was surprised to see the tickets as a line item on my folio when we checked out – I thought it would be a perk of the hotel.) I asked the rep had made the reservations for the same room type and was told I would “simply” have to check out at the front desk after the 1st reservation and check in again for the last night. I specifically asked to not have to change rooms. When we arrived I checked in and talked with the front desk about my two reservations and was told, again, that I would “simply” have to check out and back in with them on the morning of my last reservation. Again, I specifically asked to not have to change rooms. When Sunday came, I called the front desk and was told I had to come in person and present a credit card. Not sure why they couldn’t just use the one I had on file for the original reservation. When I arrived, the rep proceeded to check me out and check me back in and informed me I would have to change rooms. I was adamant that I was told I would NOT have to change rooms and was greeted with apologies and demeaning remarks implying that I was not a VIP. After repeated requests, we still had to pack all our belongings and change rooms. It was a great inconvenience and took time away from our vacation. In addition, when we went to our new room, the keys didn’t work and we had to ask a maid to let us in. I would suggest that front desk personnel be trained to take reservations and manage the rooms in a manner that does not inconvenience the guests. It was a very bad experience. In addition to technical training, I would suggest the front desk personnel be trained in customer service, positivity, listening skills, making a good first impression with their dress and the way they address guests. I was standing next to an older gentleman in a suit who was addressed by the front desk person as “boss.” He was very offended and called the hotel rep out but did not receive an apology. The greetings I received from the security personnel, valet and gift shop clerks were more professional that what I heard from the front desk, which is unfortunate because they should set the groundwork for a positive, enjoyable stay at a hotel that charges $500/night. We spent a lot of free time at the rooftop pool which was extremely small, although the hot tub was spacious and at a good temperature. We were disappointed when on the last day, after we had paid for the late checkout, we were expecting to spend one more afternoon in the spa and were greeted with an “Under Construction” sign. One night, we were at the pool bar and wanted to watch the ballgame, but when we asked the bartender to turn on the sound on the TV, he replied by asking us if we wanted the music turned up or down (listening skills??). We ended up going back to our room to watch and hear the play-by-play. Overall, we had a nice time in Denver, attended two baseball games, visited a distillery and the baseball museum, finding several reasonably-priced cafes and sports bars, and spent a half-day at the zoo. Not sure when we might visit Denver again, but we would probably stick with a hotel brand that we know will give us a more enjoyable experience...

Stay. Play. Dine. We enjoyed a weekend at The Rally Hotel and had a great staycation. The Rally is pet friendly and we brought our dog Forbes along with us.

The Rally Hotel encompassed modern comfort while exhibiting the local spirit of Denver. The entrance to the hotel was beautiful with purple tile and copper beams bordering the doors - the purple accents being a nod to the Colorado Rockies.

We arrived at the hotel and the valet quickly handled taking our car. We headed inside to the front desk - the attendant was sweet & professional and seamlessly handled our check in. The front desk had beer & champagne on tap for all guests checking in. The lobby was trendy & spirited with unique light fixtures and baseball memorabilia.

We stayed in an All-Star King Room with a king bed, leather finishes, a reading nook, and signature plaid carpeting. The room provided All-American comfort in the middle of LoDo (Lower Downtown Denver) - we had a ballpark view. Thoughtful in-room amenities included a mini bar with local grab-and-go items, a Keurig coffee maker, clothes steamer, and a smart thermostat for optimum convenience. The bathroom was outfitted with a large vanity, lit mirror, Beekman 1802™ bath products, and a rain showerhead.

During our stay, we had access to the hotel's rooftop pool and the skybridge rooftop deck - we spent most of our weekend here. The Denver Skyline surrounded us while we swam in the plunge pool & soaked up the Colorado sun. An elite summer day on all accounts.

In the evening, we enjoyed drinks at the hotel’s bar - The Rally Bar. The bar was open & modern with a massive orb chandelier that decorated the space. For my cocktail I had the ‘Rally Up’ made with Family Jones Vodka, St. Germain, Butterfly Pea Flower, Lemon, & Honey. The cocktail was a beautiful shade of purple from the butterfly pea flower and was refreshing with a subtle sweetness. Ross had a mocktail that was herbaceous with slight spice - very good.

Following our visit to the bar, we enjoyed an incredible sunset on the skybridge rooftop deck.

For breakfast we grabbed a bite at the hotel’s brunch spot - The Original. The Original was retro with a welcoming vibe. We sat out on that patio underneath a plethora of orange umbrellas. Our server Raistlin was attentive and quick with service. For breakfast we had the Brioche French Toast and the...
