    We loved our stay at the Holiday Chalet. Our daughter lives in downtown Denver and it's always hard to find a hotel close by that takes dogs. Our room was charming with original touches, and a great backyard for our dog. The breakfast was way better than in any restaurant and we plan on staying there on our next visit.

    I stayed at the Holiday Chalet on August 1 to August 3 in room 21 with my best friend. Over all we loved our stay! We went to the Ogden theater for a concert, since the Holiday Chalet was only 8 blocks away we walked there. While we where at the Holiday Chalet we were pleasently surprized by the ambience, incredible service and an amazing location. At the hotel we met Clementine the house dog had lunch at Encore restaurant, went to the botanical gardens, and spent some time at the Tattered Cover book store. Over all AMAZING! We will defenetly be back!

    Being former Denverites my wife and I visit at least once a year to see friends, family, or a good show. This summer it was for the Underground Music Showcase (a must for any music fan). Having stayed in most of the chain hotels in downtown we decided to do something different this trip. I'd heard from friends that staying in bed and breakfasts was a unique and relaxing way to commune with your surroundings and so we settled on the Holiday Chalet. Good choice, our stay was GREAT! Our room and the entire Bed and Breakfast had endless amounts of character. The bathroom and kitchenette in our room made us feel like we'd just rented a one bedroom apartment for the long weekend and waking up to a delicious, hangover-helping breakfast was just what we needed to get back out to shows. This stay was like none other we'd had in Denver. It was fun and inviting, it was like we were home again. Can't wait to go back!!!
