With its proximity to the Rocky Mountains, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and vibrant nightlife, the Mile High City of Denver is a terrific place to visit. Ride a free trolley or take a hike on the 16th Street Mall, tour the Denver Art Museum or get outdoors for a game of golf where the high altitude takes your ball further. If you're a budget traveler planning on making the trip soon, one of these comfortable motels should hit the spot.
Regular lodgers of Motel 6 know what to expect. This is the industry standard in budget-conscious, no-frills accommodations: clean, reasonably comfortable rooms, along with service that doesn't distinguish itself.
Because the hotel is situated so close to the highway (Federal Boulevard), it's best to find a room on the other side of the building for peace and quiet. It's an easy, 10-minute drive to downtown and about 90 minutes to prime mountain attractions such as the Winter Park Ski Resort.
