I recently brought my family with me on an extended business trip to Denver. We stayed over the weekend at the Homewood Suites in Boulder without incident. While the place lacked charm (it's behind a mall, that actually has a pretty good Nepalese restaurant), it delivered exactly what I've come to expect from Homewood - a larger than average total space, with a kitchen, and a separate living room and bedroom.
Thus imagine my surprise checking into the Homewood Suites in Lakewood. Upon checking in (after driving by the place since the signage is very difficult to see; it's behind the Wells Fargo building, once again in a parking lot) I was first impressed by the room, it was very new. i was quite surprised; however, to find that the living room and the bedroom were one and the same. In fact, the bathroom sink was also in this room. the whole point of staying at Homewoods and Embassy Suites with my family is that it's great to have that extra room when travelling with a 3 year old. Maybe it's well understood that these Studio Suites don't have two separate rooms (although it doesnt specifically mention that in making the reservation, whereas Embassy Suites reservations is explicit about this fact), but I was caught unawares (even though I'm one stay away from Diamond and stay in these places quite a bit).
Overall this hotel is not fully up to speed. My business travelling companion's shower didnt work in his room; he had to shower downstairs in the janirot's closet by the pool. His brother in law is a quality inspector for Hilton so I suspect he'll get his revenge
