Review of Patterson Inn 3*

My husband surprised me for our wedding anniversary this year by booking a two-night stay over the Labor Day weekend at the Patterson Inn in the Capital Hill area, which is near downtown Denver. What a lovely surprise! This historic building (a National Landmark) is a gem of a building that has been newly refurbished. Our room was clean, tidy, and well appointed. The decor of our room – The Library – was an affectionate nod to the CLUE board game, with its dark wood furniture, bookcase headboard full of classic books, free-standing wardrobe, and nick knacks (a revolver, a knife, and a wrench). Even though I had looked at the photos online, the room was much larger than I had expected. The breakfast, which was included in the cost of the room, was fresh, tasty, filling, and had a European feel. Each day’s menu included fresh fruit; croissants, butter, and jam; a meat and cheese tray; and a freshly made entree. Those entrees included waffles, quiche, and egg strata. Those things plus a choice of teas or coffee and a local newspaper rounded out the breakfast experience. The area where the Inn is located is vibrant with lots of foot and bicycle traffic. Both evenings we walked around the neighborhoods and felt very safe doing so. Several restaurants are nearby (6-8 blocks away) as well as a Whole Foods grocery store and a 7-11 convenience store. Finally, I would be totally remiss if I didn’t mention the staff at the Patterson Inn. Every one of them were welcoming, personable, helpful, patient, and kind. In summary, we had a wonderful stay and would not hesitate to recommend this Inn to our family and friends.
