A full renovation of Holiday Inn Denver - Lakewood was completed in 2008, keeping this older property amongst the top hotels in the southwest part of the city. Although located by the busy intersection of Wadsworth Blvd and US 85, the hotel is close to many golf courses, parks and country clubs in the Lakewood-Sheridan area, some within range of the complimentary 5 mile local area shuttle. Leisure amenities comprise an outdoor pool, sauna, whirlpool and fitness center, while for dining the on-site restaurant is open every day for breakfast & dinner, and for lunch at weekends. The Holiday Inn has 6 floors and 188 rooms, many with distant mountain views; all are spacious, clean, and equipped with a refrigerator in addition to the standard furnishings.

Just down the street from the Holiday Inn stands the Comfort Suites Denver Southwest, a good quality, mid range hotel of 71 oversized rooms that all contain a microwave, refrigerator, flat screen TV and large work desk. The hotel has a relatively quiet location about 500 feet from the main road (Wadsworth Blvd), a short walk from many restaurants and several shops. Free enhanced continental breakfast is served, including hot items like eggs and bacon. Leisure amenities are the usual pool, hot tub and fitness center. Pets are welcome, for a small charge.

Best Western Denver Southwest is part of a small group of hotels along US 85 in Lakewood, at the junction with Wadsworth Blvd - within walking distance of many shops & restaurants, and only 8 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheater & the Rocky Mountain foothills. The place is well managed and kept very clean; its 117 rooms are quite large, equipped with microwave/refrigerator, and some have views over the central courtyard garden, location of the outdoor pool. Free full breakfast is provided, and other facilities include an exercise room, guest laundry and several meeting rooms.

The Courtyard hotel in Lakewood, CO, stands right opposite another Marriott property (the Residence Inn) next to the 285 Freeway - part of a bustling commercial district with shops, restaurants and other hotels. Downtown Denver is 10 miles north, and the Denver Tech Center 12 miles east. The Courtyard receives favorable guest comments for its efficient staff, the convenient location, reasonable rates and nice breakfast (not free, however). The building is relatively old but rooms are large, clean and well furnished; some have a hot tub bath. Also available are an indoor pool, whirlpool, sundeck, fitness center, full service business center and a meeting room.

The top choice for extended stay accommodation in the Lakewood district of southwest Denver is the Residence Inn by Marriott, a relatively new building of 102 well appointed suites, part of the main group of hotels in town, by the Wadsworth Blvd/US 285 junction. All the suites have a full kitchen, separate living/working areas, bright, contemporary decor, and a choice of one or two bedrooms. Guests are treated to a free full breakfast each morning, and a free evening social hour (Mon to Thu); for other meals there are many restaurants within walking distance, and plenty of shops, around the Mission Trace Center. Leisure facilities at the Residence Inn comprise an indoor pool, whirlpool and a fitness center.
