So, as other reviewers have stated, this is indeed a light rail station. Other than the strange statue just north of the platform ("breakdancing native Americans"), it's not a bad spot. I probably wouldn't want to live in the "luxury apartments" next door, but maybe that's just me.
There seems to be a little restaurant nearby, judging by a sign on the corner of the building that states "coffee and cocktails," but since I'm usually on my way to work when I pass through here, I'm unlikely to give that one a shot for the most part.
The station is about as clean as you can reasonably expect a station in the middle of Denver to be, perhaps because of the "luxury" station-adjacent housing. Maybe that's what makes it so luxurious--it's like having your own chauffeur that also drives around thousands of other people a day and stays on a set of tracks? I know not.
I-25 and Broadway houses the next stop, and it certainly has ample parking as well as a plethora of included bus lines to transfer to. For park-n-rides, I don't really know which would be better, but I'd probably rather transfer trains at Alameda given the choice--less people means less fighting to get onto the train, at least, even if the train is crowded. read more
