Got a few trips/vacations scheduled in the next 6 months and are looking for good places to stay in the above cities. Not looking to break the bank but don’t want to end up in and area of town that isn’t the safest (might be the most important). Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Denver... several years ago we stayed downtown at a hotel by the 16th St. Mall, two teen daughters with a friend each. At that time was a great place to stay, tons of shopping, restaurants, etc. Then last year we stayed there again with daughters, and I'm not sure what specifically has happened, but the whole 16th St. Mall area has turned into a smelly dump. Lots of homeless tents, smell of urine pretty much everywhere. Maybe someone from Denver can correct me, maybe it's always been that way? But we noticed a big, big difference and if I were going to Denver with the fam again I'm definitely not staying around there.
