Review of Bud and Breakfast at The Adagio from last week(tripadvisor)
The wife wanted to go to the mountains for her birthday. She wanted to see mountains and pine trees. I wanted to have city options and not have to rent a car. So we decided to head to Denver. I saw this place on 60 Minutes because of the "bud" angle of their marketing. It seemed to fit all our vacation needs.
Location:
It is a near perfect location for Denver visitors. Surrounded by quiet and yet lots of places to eat and drink. Pete's Kitchen is a block away - open 24 hours and the world's perfect diner food. Vine Street Brew Pub is a quick walk or quick car ride away. The Zoo, the botanic gardens and some museums are close by too. Most everything is within walking distance. And we used Lift for our longer trips.
Rooms:
We got a very large room on the 3rd floor. The Vivaldi room was super spacious. Yes, there were window AC units and the breaker kept flipping when we had it plugged in and tried to use the hair dryer. The TV was w-a-y across the room so watching from the bed wasn't very easy. There are no phones in the rooms. I did use their wi-fi and it was quick and easy to set up on my phone. The room was comfortable, the towels were great and the blinds kept out the bright sun early in the mornings.
Food:
Their Happy Hour every afternoon at 4:20 - get it? - had some delish finger foods. Wine, beer and of course guests partaking in the bud you can buy legally in Colorado.
I liked that the fridge in the kitchen was communal. They always had beer, wine and cokes and water - drink lots of it in the Mile High City. You could keep your stuff in it too. I bought some fun Colorado beer and we had a couple THC infused drinks that needed to stay cold. No one bothered it.
Breakfast was superb! Really. Chicken and waffles, amazing eggs Benedict, mimosas by request, meats, fruits and juice and great coffee. It really was as close to a 5 star restaurant for a B&B that we have stayed. Since it was the wife's birthday I took her breakfast to the room every morning. They were super helpful in making sure I had an extra plate or two to take her a little of everything.
Communal areas:
They have a lovely patio in the back where I had coffee every morning. There is a hot tub but I never saw anyone getting in it.
The dining room was bright and open. They served breakfast there buffet style.
The living room area had couches and chairs and a big flat screen. Since they don't allow smoking in the rooms, guests sat there and visited and smoked their dispensary purchases.
Massage:
Get it! I set up a 90 minute one with the cannabis infused therapy oils. The room is located on site. They bill it to your room. My wife has a neck injury that lingers from a car accident years ago. She said the relief lasted several days and she felt safe and comfortable with the therapist.
If the AC had been more consistent I would have done 5 stars. It's a beautiful old place kept clean and the hostesses and chefs are extremely friendly and helpful.
It is a bit pricey. Three nights was $1000.
Room Tip: Be aware you have to climb stairs. Third floor can be a toughie in the altitude.
Stayed July 2015, traveled as a couple
