1. I'll breakdown the highlights:Hotel-very clean, well-appointed, free wi-fi from multiple points, friendly staff, especially Andrew at the concierge desk who made many recommendations and arrangements for us-smallish pool, but nice gym, outdoor sunning deck and hottubAcademic Impressions-training consultant provided excellent, indepth training and the organizers provided excellent recommendations of dining choices for eveningsTransporation-free 16th street shuttle was excellent, very easy to get to various site seeing activities in and around the downtown area by making use of the shuttle to get within walking distance to attraction (capitol hill, parks, library, city hall dining, Coors field etc)-as we weren't able to take advantage of a group tour of the moutains in the mornings due to our conference we arranged to hire a town car for a couple of hours to take us to several attractions (Red Rocks, football field etc.)-Coors field does tours three times per day, but there is limited #'s, so when we arrived we couldn't buy tickets as they were sold out, keep this in mind and pre-purchase your ticketsShopping-unfortunately only experienced the 16th and Larimer Square shopping due to time contraints and it was fine for souveniersDining-this was the most surprising as to how good and varied the food was in Denver.
