    A nice, clean, well-lit station. Easy to access, and even easier to catch your train from.

    Truly mediocre. Light rail trains frequently are late or simply do not run, and it is extremely…read morerare for them to post any kind of alert or update on their website when this happens. You just stand around hoping it shows up, then eventually the next one does. Maybe. Service is already thin with trains only running every 15 minutes or so at best, so when you miss your connection(s) the time lost starts adding up quickly. This morning the bus driver got lost which was a first, so I missed my train and was late to work. This didn't surprise me unfortunately, as I expect RTD to screw me over at least 10% of the time and they were about due. Leaving work the train simply didn't show up, so I missed the hourly bus back home. I'm currently standing in a shelter at Federal Center station, and in keeping with their policy of being awful, RTD decided the shelters should have holes in the sides so that the wind can pass straight through. There's plexiglass at the upper portion so if you stand on the bench it's less miserable, but it's really frustrating how bad this transportation agency is at all aspects of transportation.

    if you're thinking about moving to Denver for work and want to use the public transit, DO NOT. by…read morefar the most unreliable public service I've ever experienced. I'm not sure why and how it operates. I can't think of someone that reliably uses it to get to work and get there on time.

    What an absolutely beautiful station. I was impressed with the outside and then when I went inside…read morethe building I was taken aback. It wasn't what I as expected at all. There were arched windows, beautiful lighting, and everything was just so bright due to the two. Inside there was a variety of places to eat. There were restaurants, a bar, and a coffee shop from what I had seen. I came early in the morning, so only the coffee shop was open. At the Union Station, you can catch a ride on the Amtrak or catch Denver's bus or rail. I thought the system was very nice and orderly.

    Denver Union Station is a very large, very grand structure designed to help human beings move from…read moreone spot on the Earth to another. I did not ride a train here. I simply walked inside, stared at the ceiling, drank coffee, and conducted myself like a person who had accidentally discovered that a transportation building can be a tourist attraction. The central room is called the Great Hall, and it is appropriately named. It features sixty-foot arched ceilings, giant chandeliers, and Beaux-Arts masonry that suggests important historical figures in dramatic clothing ought to be striding through the doors. The original station opened in 1881, burned down in 1894 because wooden structures are vulnerable to fire, and was rebuilt in 1914. A century later, after a long period of quiet decline, it was reimagined as a combination of train terminal, boutique hotel called The Crawford, cocktail venue known as the Terminal Bar, and general indoor living room for the public. It should be noted that it is not meant to stand in as a bedroom, however, as my friend was sternly warned about napping there by a camera guided security officer. If you look closely, the building contains small physical clues about the past. There are display cases showing forgotten items recovered from the original wooden waiting benches, vintage railroad artifacts, and framed architectural blueprints from 1914. These objects serve as physical proof that millions of long-gone citizens once sat in this exact space holding tickets to towns that have since changed beyond recognition or disappeared entirely. I stood with a hot beverage and watched the endless parade of organisms. There were hurried commuters, confused tourists, hotel guests with rolling suitcases, and individuals who had entered for no apparent reason other than that the room was warm and visually pleasing. Outside, Wynkoop Plaza connects the granite building to the Lower Downtown neighborhood with splash fountains and outdoor benches. You can buy a cocktail, eat an expensive meal, or sit on a plush couch and contemplate the sheer volume of human lives that have intersected under this roof over the past one hundred and forty years. I cannot report on whether the Amtrak trains operate according to their printed schedules. Based on my personal experience, I would doubt it, but that is hardly the fault of the station. I have no opinion regarding the cushioning of the waiting room chairs. I did not inspect the platform boarding platforms. I came strictly to observe a magnificent survivor made of stone and iron, and the station performed its duty. Sometimes the most satisfying place to arrive is the building originally constructed to send you somewhere else.

    Uber has gotten worse and worse over time. Not only have their prices continued to go up for simple…read morerides but the drivers have become ruder, less speak even enough English to be able to appropriately help if there's an emergency (yeah kind of important) and some of the cars people drive should barely be able to be on the road. At the very least a driver needs to be able to communicate basic English (the overwhelmingly spoken language in the US) so if there's an emergency they are able to notify the proper authorities and/or assist. When you aren't able to communicate with someone, especially someone you are paying for a service and that service involves something dangerous, like driving, it not only takes away from the customer experience which has only gotten worse with uber but it does not make the rider feel safe. I've also had drivers cussing on the phone with their boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife and just honestly being terrible at customer service. How are these people vetted? I've been in cars where multiple warning lights are on, there's noise coming from under the hood (not good noise) and quite frankly I have no idea how they are even on the road. One car had their child lock on the back doors, not remotely safe. Drivers who have literally been blasting their music, wildly inappropriate lyrics and loud (but I guess we don't care about common decency anymore) then when asked to turn it down I was told this is my car you can do what you want in yours. It's just gotten to a point where I'd almost rather take Lyft or a Taxi over Uber. At least with a taxi if you aren't able to communicate with them they are at least professional drivers.

    Disappointed. I made a reservation for a pickup from my hotel to the airport in Yellowstone. I was…read moreconfirmed. On the day and time of pickup, I received a text message from Uber that they could not find a driver. I had to request a taxi instead but only after discovering that Uber does not service Yellowstone. I have never had an issue with Uber that after getting confirmation that they don't service an area. They should have not allowed me to reserve a ride if that is the case. It made for a very anxiety driven time. I do love Uber but not today. Please make sure when booking a ride that they do cover the area and Uber, shame on you for allowing the reservation in the first place.

    The worst service ever. Where do I even start with this review... I hate to give bad reviews but at…read morethe same time I don't think it's fair how he treated my friends and I. Initially called last Tuesday and inquired for a party bus round trip service to red rocks for 16 people. Sam, the owner stated that his bus accommodated for up to 20 passengers, the bus has a great sound system, comfortable seats, and the he was able to take us to the round about in the north lot of Red Rocks Amphitheater. I scheduled the bus arrival at 6:30pm in lakewood for 16 passengers. The day of the event (Friday) Sam called and stated that he was running late due to traffic and he was going to be 10-15 minutes late. I expected him to arrive at 6:40pm. Once he arrived he stated that the pickup service was at 6:15pm.. What? First encounter with Sam was very unpleasant - he stated that i reserved the bus at 6:15pm, funny thing was that on his paper work, he wrote down '6:30pm'. Automatically he was accusing US for not being on time... The party bus itself is in horrible condition. No cushion on the seats, my friends and i were sitting on marble tiles and some of my friends were sitting in a broken sink in the bus. There is a sound system but only can be used by the bus driver (Sam). During the ride to red rocks, he wouldn't let any of my friends play music on the sound system. He had music playing on the bus but it was HIS music only. No offense on his music taste, but my friends and I don't listen to top 90's music.. I went ahead and walked up to Sam while he was driving and asked if we could change the music, he rudely responded that he did not want me near him. He did drive us half way to the top and we had to hike up to the north lot entrance of Red Rocks, I wanted to speak with Sam after the show since my friends and i were upset about the service. I asked him if we were able to talk after the show. But he demanded that we 'talked now'. Trying to hold a conversation with him was impossible, I was trying to explain to him that my friends were unhappy with the service and that the bus was falsely advertised. He was threatening my friends and i that he was going to leave us at red rocks. As my friends were trying to calm him down, he stated that he would stay if only I did not talk to him and stated that i needed to "shut my mouth". He then threatened that he was not willing to stay unless he got an additional $150 from us. My friends and I didn't want to be left behind at red rocks and ended up paying him an additional $150. I feel like he purposely wanted to start drama so that he was able to threaten us and get more money from us. Overall, the worst service I had in years. Sam is rude, unprofessional, and does not know anything about customer service. I don't appreciate how he threatened my friends and I that he was going to leave us at red rocks and demanded $150 extra; we are victims of a con-artist. Beware of Sam and his falsely advertised party bus!!!!
