I have always been wary of reviews. Well maybe not the review, but the reviewer. I just don't get…read moreleaving negative reviews. What is the intention? It seems cruel in some way. I root for people. I root for small businesses. Everyone has a bad night. And I, except for one other time, have only written positive reviews for the establishments I have been lucky enough to frequent. I feel deeply compelled to write this review (My intention is not to hurt a business. My intention is to hold someone accountable for behavior that is completely inappropriate). My review will be supplemented by other guests that also witnessed the altercation.The Patterson Inn is a lovely property. The rooms are well appointed and the included breakfast is wonderful (yummy and very fresh). And the staff minus the owner were great. The issue at the Patterson Inn is a singular issue - the owner is abusive, greedy, aggressive and downright scary. He feels a bit unhinged. Very defensive and quick to angry over a pretty small incident. I mean no disrespect to the owner to describe him this way but truly that's how it felt. Even the emails he sent after my stay felt unstable. He kept calling me names and kept telling me "to cease and desist." It was insane. For one of the nights I was in town, My Cousin stayed with me and was a witness to the incident and he almost called the police as Chris was yelling so loudly calling me an entitled victim. Another hotel guest approached me that afternoon and they were "horrified." I should have left then and there. I am a 55 year old single woman who booked a week long stay at the Patterson Inn. I am a Denver native and recently moved to South Carolina but came home for the week to care for my elderly Mom. Patterson Inn is in the heart on Capitol Hill - a vibrant walkable area. First and most importantly, I do take full accountability in my part of the incident that occurred. Patterson Inn provides 3 parking spaces and there is generally ample street parking. However, that night when I came home the area was teeming with police cars. There was an active shooter in the area and the police were asking residents to "stay in place." All the spaces at the Inn were full so I pulled my car into the loading zone in front of the hotel and my car was partially blocking another car in one of the Patterson spaces. The car had ample space to get out. I was in no way obstructing the driver from getting out of the space but I admit that I was probably a foot over the loading zone. I am 100 percent responsible for doing this. I tried and tried to apologize to Chris. I have never in my life had someone respond to me and treat me the way I was treated. Chris completely lost it. He threw a temper tantrum that was heard trough out the Inn and made the other guests profoundly unconfortable. See the other reviews from those guests. Chris brought me to tears yelling over me. He kept calling me victim and said "you don't care about other people." I'd never said more than hello to him prior to this interaction. I just keep trying to de-escalate the situation. My cousin and another guest recorded the exchange. Chris is also a big guy and as we were interacting at one point he stood up and postured himself in a way that I felt physically threatened. My cousin almost called the police. I honestly felt bad for parking inappropriately and did everything in my power to stay calm but chris really had trouble composing himself until he realized he'd made me cry. I apologized repeatedly for parking incorrectly and I even offered to leave the Inn but Chris said he would not refund my money. My whole goal during the interaction was to try and calm Chris down. I thought at the end of it that things had been resolved although myself and other guests certainly felt awkward and uncomfortable. I went out that day and bought Chris and his staff (who were wonderful) a Panetonne to again assert my apology and to hope to keep Chris calm and professional during the remainder of my stay. They staff loved it and ate it happily (Chris claims no one ate it because I might have poisoned it - I kid you not. I saw the front desk clerk eat it). The 4th day I was there my son was hit by a car while on his bike causing him to break both femur bones. Herein I needed to check out of the hotel and fly to be with my son in DC. I alerted the front desk clerk about the situation and asked if I could have a credit for the remaining nights to use at a later date. She said great but would need to check in with Chris. I gave it a couple days and reached out. When Chris finally responded he said there would be no credit. So I paid for 3 nights and he would not credit those nights back and then he again became belligerent.

We just stayed in The Library at the Patterson Inn, and we are certainly planning to return to…read morerepeat the experience. I'll try to keep this short: the Patterson Inn is a delightful boutique hotel with glorious original interiors that have been refurbished in a way that both honors the historical original and gives attention to the modern comforts people expect nowadays. So many small perfect details, storage everywhere in the room, good WiFi throughout, beautiful areas to relax, the on-site 12 Spirits bar, the great breakfasts served in a beautiful area and featuring made-from-scratch-on-site and local goods . . . and most of all the welcoming and helpful staff, who quickly feel like friends. (Cheers and so many thanks to owner Chris Chiari and innkeeper Steve.) And what a delightful neighborhood - safe, walkable, FUN, with all manner of entertaining things within an easy walk. The Library was large and SO comfortably appointed, with tons of storage, space heater and cooler and a great modern bathroom - just couldn't have been happier. On the haunting front - first of all, I'm not into this stuff. At all. But. When we unpacked, I'd left my (large, hardshell) suitcase on top of the luggage rack on the side by the entry door, and I'd put a large hardback book I was reading it dead square in the middle of it. Went to supper, had some drinks. Came back six hours later and my wife lay on the bed (on the side away from the entry) to check her messages. I was over at the desk by the windows (on the side away from the entry) plugging in my phone to charge. It had been maybe three minutes since we entered the room. THUMP! over by the entrance to the room. We looked at each other. We both said, "It wasn't me." I went over to look and . . . my big hardbound book was now lying on the floor about three feet from the suitcase on the luggage rack. Weird. Weird enough that we were seriously trying to figure out how it had fallen (there hadn't been an earthquake, no one was jumping around, it was totally still and getting later in the evening) and eventually one of us said, "Hey, what if it was the ghost?" Ha ha. Told the staff the next morning as kind of a ha-ha thing and they were remarkably unsurprised and gave every appearance of having heard this sort of thing a lot. It was weird to us, though. Anyway, forget about that - the Patterson Inn was a great stay for us, and we are really looking forward to a return. What we're up in air about is whether we want to stay again in The Library (which we loved) or check out another room.

From Jen's hands on management to the well trained and friendly staff, this stay was a joy. Because I was scoping out a place for future family visits, I asked a lot of questions, all answered with patience and clarity. I looked at nearly every room and the photos you see are not 'tricked out'..., the entire house is lovely. The 'Continental Breakfast' was substantial enough to almost pass for a full meal. Every item met the BnB standard and was well presented, even though I was there early in the week and they could have skimped a bit. The parking is a bit tight but the location is amazing. I enjoyed the free ticket to nearby Denver Botanical Gardens ( which Flora House supports btw). So all in all, with some smaller and some larger rooms with fair prices and no hidden fees, I would recommend Flora House to anyone wanting a 'City Park to Downtown East' pad.

It's very close to downtown, walking distance to Coors field and Pearl street with a 15-20min walk. We stayed in the Garden room, which faced the back of the property and their garden area. The room was small and no frills but met our needs for one evening. The bed was pretty comfortable but the pillows were too floppy. The AC worked very well which we were thankful for since it was 90 degrees outside. Everything was clean but a little dated and the water pressure of the shower was pretty bad. The garden area had 4-5 tables and it was very quiet; we enjoyed lunch one day back there. Nicole checked us in and showed us around. I liked how there was a fridge for guests to use and water cooler with glasses for you to bring fresh water to your rooms. I can't remember the name of the chef who cooked breakfast in the morning but he was great! He was able to meet our dietary needs. We opted to eat our breakfast on the front porch which overlooked the park and was great for people watching. Overall, good no frills spot if you are looking for parking and breakfast that are included. Definitely a more personalized experience compared to staying in a hotel.

This is your chance to explore one of them and the hosts are happy to share the history of both Denver and the castle! Lots of our local friends knew the house and were surprised to learn it was a bed and breakfast. (If I were local, I would make a point to stay.) It's like sleeping over in a museum time machine--which I can say is a dream of mine. Castle Marne is totally unique and delightful. It's an absolute treasure and it owes everything to the Peiker family, who have been operating the b&b for the last 30 years and who restored the entire house and property--there's a photo album to prove it if you're still not impressed. Our group stayed in 2 rooms: The Tower and one downstairs whose name I already forgot. Both were beautifully decorated with detail and respect for the home's Victorian roots. The property is immaculately landscaped so every window had a great view and soft light filtered through large trees. The rooms were spotless and everyone had a little extra space. We learned The Tower was originally an open porch area for the third floor ballroom! Our second room was added in the 1930s and felt like it's own apartment--with a separate porch and entry door very convenient for people like myself who forget things and have to go back inside 3-4 times before actually leaving. Delicious, healthy breakfast is served in the dining room with the other guests. Our hosts made bread, muffins, and fresh jam from scratch!! They were happy to accommodate one vegan diet as well. I could keep going but all you need to know is THIS PLACE IS SPECIAL and I am so grateful for the opportunity to stay here! #badcopbadcop #castlemarne

I called both hosts and was sent directly to voicemail. About 20 minutes later they finally texted back and told me to "lift the door up and it will roll to the right" When I followed that, the heavy door came off its track and crashed to the floor. It missed my child by maybe a foot. By sheer luck my daughter wasn't killed. I should have called the police to get my kids out instead of listening to their terrible advice. I've attached screenshots as of text communication as proof. Afterward, the hosts posted an Airbnb review claiming I "berated" them and "splintered their priceless door." The attached text messages show them being apologetic in real time until they wrote their public review. I never berated anyone, but I should have. Other issues: - Strong noise and odor from ducks in a cage or pen next to the room - Front door opens directly into a parking lot where homeless people frequently loitered - Cleanliness below basic standards Bottom line: the door is a serious hazard. The hosts were slow to respond and gave advice that nearly caused a disaster. This place is not safe for kids.

It's a…read moreconvenient location right on a major bus line, although it's probably not the safest or most attractive. The problem with the Chalet is that management seems clueless when it comes to tending to upkeep. The kitchen is nice but there literally were no forks in the drawer and only a couple of small spoons and one steak knife. Even after twice informing the staff of this fact, it took them four days to drop off a couple of pieces of silverware. There were only a couple of plates and bowls. Plus, half of the knobs on the kitchen cabinets were broke and it was hard and a bit painful to grab what was left to open them. There were two amazing decorative bedside lamps, but only one of them worked because there was no place to plug it in. These unforgivable oversights may seem minor, but they diminished what should have been an enjoyable stay in an elegant hotel.

From the ceremony site options, to the bridal suite, to the dining area and the dance floor, we enjoyed all of the spaces this place has to offer. Our 108 guests loved the food, the drinks, and the views so much, they couldn't stop commenting all night on how beautiful and awesome this venue was.

My one area of constructive criticism would be recommending that the venue provide a clearer timeline to the couples getting married. I typed my own up based on our meetings but the venue stated they'd send it a few times and never got around to it. Otherwise, I can't say enough WONDERFUL things about this spot. Hospitality is their jam. The rentable items like the arch and photo booth, the in-house decorations, and the food options are positively stunning. The staff is phenomenal, the on-site honeymoon suite was so clean and comfortable, and there was lots of space for kids to run around. An amazing AMAZING spot to make memories and start your married life with your partner off right!
