Best looking people, dressed properly, a variety of top hits played by the DJ, sharp drinks, top shelf place.
This place has changed, revamped 100% from what it was before.
Currently, Jet is my favorite place to have fun.
In an effort to not polarize you with my one-star rating, allow me to explain some things:
- As of this writing I have 199 reviews under my belt, only 16 of those are one-stars. I don't take a one-star rating lightly.
- I gave this business 45 DAYS to make things right before reviewing. I really try to give people the benefit of the doubt (just look at some of my reviews, I will give places 4 stars despite highly questionable service)
However, the staff here is flat-out incompetent. I stayed here on business; I was trying to save the company some money and I like the LoDo area (Falling Rock...one of the best.bars.ever)
The trouble started the day after I checked in, I got a little note telling me to see the front desk. (There is rarely anyone even staffed at the front desk, BTW) Apparently my company card would not run. I gave them a personal card as COLLATERAL until I figured out what was going on with the company card. They tried to run it 6 times, luckily my bank thought it was odd that a $500 charge flagged as a "Tavern" was being charged, and locked them out of the account.
Which, it turns out, is why the company card wouldn't run. This place shows up as a "Tavern" on the merchant code.
I didn't give up though; I called head quarters-level finance, explained my situation, and got a 48 hour temporary allowance for the specific Jet Hotel charge to go through. I called up Jet and explained. "No problem sir, and we'll send you a receipt when we've charged it"
I never got a receipt. I continued to call about a receipt, and then they sent me a BILL! They never charged the card...I guess..I had no idea.
Yesterday I called again and they sent me a zeroed out bill saying everything was taken care of (this is some 45 days since I stayed there). The card that was charged was not listed. I asked them if they knew what the credit card was, they said they didn't...and they'd call back to notify me which it was.
They never did.
After 45 months of poking and prodding them they charged my PERSONAL card. I guess the card company finally let their charge through.
Now I cannot get reimbursed for staying at this douchey hotel.
Thanks guys.
As far as the club, I walked through a few times on the way to my room. It's your typical yuppie/attention whore/I-wear-NorthFace-products-and-drink-Fat-Tire -at-the-ski-lodge types. Everyone's trying too hard; no one knows who they are. Aromas of overpriced colognes and caked-on makeup.
I was in Denver, CO attending a convention - and one of the informal entertainment options was going to this hotel/club. It was a Saturday night and the place was nicely laid out. But just like my review for Theorie night club, although the space looks nice, it was not that great of an experience. Why not?
1) No space to dance! This had even less space than Theorie night club (check my other review) but the music was defnitely much better than what was being played at Theorie. Just wish there was a lot more space to dance. Perhaps there was more space downstairs, but we weren't allowed to go down there due to a private function.
2) Drinks were also watered down! That must be the theme for Denver night clubs, or perhaps I'm just used to stronger alcohol content! ;) But I felt the drinks, although reasonable in price, was definitely kind of watery.
In all, I would rather go here than Theorie since the music is better and I'm not bumping into ottoman's on the dance floor. But the dance space is smaller, and the drinks are just as watery.
I was here visiting a friend in Denver, CO...we checked out jet, & it was GREAT! definitley a classy place, beautiful ladies, great drinks...gave it 4 stars just cuz it was a bit too crowded
Wow! The worst Service I've ever Had!!!
I been going to Jet for the night club for a few years. I have always had a great time and have always wanted to stay sat the hotel. So when I was getting married earlier this month I booked out the whole hotel for my guests. I thought that e verything was taken care of. But when I went to check in a whole different story. The manager was out for the weekend, and the staff didn't know what they were doing. My credit card was charged for the room and damage deposit even though I was paying in cash. Then come to find out that I was charged $700 on my card after my husband paid in cash for our room. It took over a week to clear. I had 3 other guest have the same thing happen, over charged! I had two of my guests rooms have no heat, it was snowing outside. It took over 5 different phone calls to get everything worked out. The front door guy was a complete ass as well, we had trouble walking through the front door to take our Grandma up to her room to go to bed. My Sister needed to go up to her room to grab something and the door guy was not going to let her in because she had our little cousin with her. I know it is a bar, but they were just going to the room for a moment, was my sister going to leave a little girl outside by her self??? very rude. overall we had a horrible time at this hotel! I would never stay here!
The club is cool. The hotel itself sucks.
Went to denver for my best friends bachelor party. So we get there at Friday around 4 and of course our room hasnt even been cleaned so we had to wait around like hostages until 6:30 before the room is clean. Wait it gets better. We booked two rooms both rooms in different names. A large room with two queen beds. When we check in the lady at the desk says the whole hotel only has one room with two queen beds in it. What a fucking joke. This place needs some serious work before it will get better reviews.
Yikes, this place takes pretentiousness to an entirely new level. I've never felt so inadequate in my life. Seriously, a velvet rope and VIP section? This is Denver. Don't get me wrong -- some nights I can look down my nose and out-trendy the best of them, but this place just has it all wrong. What's worse, the drinks were incredibly watered down (I'm glad someone else mentioned that too). I'll throw it an extra star because the music was one notch above tolerable the night that I went. Otherwise, steer clear.
Meh.......
This place (people, bartenders, waitstaff, decor etc) thinks it's way hotter than it is and is pretty obvious as soon as you walk through the door.
Don't get me wrong, I like a high-end bar just as much as the next person, but come on, really?
Too much white, too many highly polished surfaces...
The music was totally lame-o......techno, ok cool--but wow, no one is dancing and on top of it, people are attempting to be scenesters and look like this is "their" place to be....
Nah...can do without, much hotter places to go, trust me.
I wanted out as soon as we stepped in. The music is uncreative, the decor is uninviting, and painfully trying too hard, the clientele was skeezy (and I know that's not a word), and everyone looks like they painted their smiles on.
It's one thing to be pretentious because you're that fabulous, but being pretentious for the sake of being pretentious, that's so 1985. Patrick Bateman called, and he wants his Oliver People's glasses back.
Went here for a friends birthday on a Saturday night, but even the free vodka didnt stop me from counting the minutes until I could exit the door. I was so bored. DJ wasn't playing anything exciting, everyone is way too done-up and trying too hard.
I enjoy lounges/clubs on occasion, but this one was just so...mediocre.
Meh describes Jet well. A group of us went there on New Years Eve. They had one of the best deals in downtown, and for that they deserve two stars. The actual event was sub-par. The cocktail waitress was rude and the place was totally over croweded (why allow a reservation for 10 and only have seating available for six??). To top it off I was charged twice for the table - which was $500 - and for bottles of champagne we never received. It took quite a while and mulitple phone calls to rectify the problem.
In the future if I want to spend NYE downtown I'll spend the extra cash to go to a nicer place.
We went for dinner. The food was horrible. Both my boyfriend and I went home with stomach aches. Too greasy, too pretentious too spendy. I vote no.
I love the decor of Jet but the staff was way too pretentious. The velvet rope and host/bouncer for the VIP section was too much. Are people really going to charge the rope and run downstairs if they don't stand guard? Since we didn't want bottle service no one would give us the time of day and they acted like it was an inconvenience that we were trying to buy drinks at the bar instead. The cocktail waitress kept approaching our group trying to talk us into bottle service over and over until we finally got tired of the repeated sales pitch and left.
Great price and convenient hotel for the area. I was concerned about the noise factor, but even being close to the elevator, room 206, I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the room actually was. It was clean and comfortable. I also enjoyed their restaurant which had great noodles. The decor was modern, a little like the Delano in Miami, which was OK. The staff had a similar attitude, but they were pleasant and helpful enough. I would stay there again and would recommend this place for business travelers who are there during the week. I think weekends might be a little noisy from the night life.
Not too bad. I actually really like the vibe here but hate that the drinks are a bit pricey. How is it that you can charge me $8 for a cocktail that is only $4 at the bar one block away?? I know you pay for 'ambiance' but seriously.
As for the lounge downstairs...there's a corner that smells like B.O. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
I'll give this place three stars. Which, minus Beta and Le Rouge, for the LoDo area is pretty damn shocking. I didn't know, until recently, that this place is actually a hotel on top of being a nightclub.
The rooms are small and claustrophobic, I'm not sure what kind of clientle these people harbor during the day.
They do throw some great themed-parties, including the 2008 NYE's James Bond bash and Beatport. Haven't had any problems with staff, yet. Lot of brownies hang out here, so if you're scopin' the Arab/Indian/Persian all up in your face type of scene, check this place out.
You'd still have to pay me to accompany you into this joint, however. Let's step up and stay in Larimer Square, shall we?
UPDATE: Since this post (originally on 1/25) the "higher up's" at Jet quickly responded and offered me and my colleague a free stay at their hotel during our trip. They were gracious and took the matter very seriously so I give them kudos for how they handled the situation caused by one of their employees who, hopefully, was just having an "off" day. Two more stars for how they handled the situation and I'll give a full (separate) review after my visit in a month.
I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
I was unable to book a reservation here after an employee at the front desk told me he was training a new employee, but if I called back after 3pm he could help me then (but I could go online). Since I was booking multiple rooms for my colleague and I, I was trying to avoid the hassle of doing it online, but I said, "Okay."
I wasn't able to book the reservation online for an unknown reason so I called back. The employee told me there was nothing he could do, that he was still training the new employee, in fact, both he and his manager were training him so there was nobody to help me.
I asked, "Are you telling me you're more concerned with training a new employee than booking a reservation?" Thinking it's odd, I've never had ANY hotel of ANY kind turn away business because one hourly employee is training another hourly employee...
The employee was silent. I asked again to which he responded that he wasn't going to answer me with that kind of attitude/"tone" in my voice. Was I pissed off? Yes. Did I have a "tone"? I'm sure I did... I was in shock that a hotel was turning down my business not because they were overbooked but because they were too busy training a NEW employee??? Are you kidding?!
I asked to speak to his manager (who he said was right there), I was put on hold, then hung up on.
So I called back... nobody answered. I called again... nobody answered. I waited. 10 min. I called back and the same employee answered, I immediately asked to speak to his manager. Was put on hold, and then told that his manager was in a meeting and couldn't speak to me.
In conclusion: I was essentially "blocked" from making a reservation (when I really wanted to stay there based on other reviews), was talked back to, treated rudely, hung up on, and lied to.
Not a pleasant experience. Needless to stay, I won't be staying there.
No one has mentioned this yet but, I find it entirely pertenient (aka too awesome not) to mention that Jet is a lively club on the weekends as well!
Friday and Saturday nights the cool kids of Denver (i.e. me and whoever sits at my lunch table) hang out there. There's never a line but, there's a VIP section if you do wanna feel extra special.
There's dancing, drinks, and--usually--a celebrity appearance or two (Paul Wall, who? Flava Flav, what?)
Jet is small and intimate yet big enough to get your groove on. One rule, though: no Carlton moves, Fresh Prince. ;)
It's just not my scene. I'm happier at the bar at Steubens, or dancing at the Starlight, or at just about any dive bar.
But, if you are sproting your newly starched button down shirt or skimpy tanktop, consider yourself a young professional, and/or have been or are a frat guy/sorority girl, get in here, these are your peeps.
They are just not mine.
They must have a neutron mortgage on this place. The building was open, and empty - but no people. I went in to check out whether to spend the night.
Not a soul in the lobby or at the bar in the lobby. No bartender behind the bar, which is THE prominent feature of the lobby. Two TV's were turned on to CNN with Hillary blathering on and on, but not one person to be found, anywhere.
Too Twighlight Zone for me. Good bye.
You know what's really good times? Running back to your LoDo lodgings through a TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR - i'm talking lightning, thunder, rain AND freakin' hail - at 2AM to find that the hotel fire alarm is going off. A piercingly-loud, incessant, high-pitched beep has indeed driven the rest of the guests out of their rooms, has been wailing for an hour, and apparently no one knows what's causing it or how to turn it off.
And as the rest of the beleagured, sleepy-eyed hotel guests sit with you in the hotel lobby in various states of undress, waiting for the Denver fire dept., you wonder why you didn't save yourself $100 and just stay at the Best Western.
The Jet is the kind of place that looks good - hip and modern - but doesn't really deliver. Understaffed (one guy at the front desk to check people in, answer the phones, and do odd jobs - like change the toner in the printer at the 'business center'?) and not particularly friendly or knowledgable, with a lame attempt at a trendy bar scene and no valet or bellman to help with parking/ checking in (which isn't that easy on Wazee & 16th).
One tip: if you are determined to stay here, book the 'alter-abled' room at a significant discount through the hotel website online. Its basically the same as any other room, except its a little more spacious and there's a support rail in the shower to hold onto.
Centrally-located.
The dance floor gives this place an added star - other than that - this bar is like every other bar in LoDo. Even the barbacks have attitude. It's like restaurants on Sunset - waitresses with the misguided idea that they are going to be a star any minute now and they are doing you a favor by serving you.
Boring.
Loved this place. Location, decor, and the treatment we received from the staff. The weekend that we stayed here, it was their grand opening as Jet.
Earlier in the evening we lingered around LoDo grabbing drinks from the Samba room, and dining at Vesta Dipping Grill. The rooms were a bit tiny, and the beds aren't very sturdy (wink wink).
As guests, we waltzed right in as people were lined up around the corner to get in to the bash, and we were listed for VIP for the lounge area downstairs. The VIP area was doused in red with separate seating areas comprised of couches and defined by sheath black curtains. People in attendance were young vibrant professionals, no riff raff in sight. A few strong drinks and complimentary bubbly.. After waking up we enjoyed our coffee on the balcony. Yes it was a bit noisy but hey its the city.
Not the disco, nor the bar: I'm yelping the hotel here.
And quite a good one, for that.
First thing first: if you travel with an ipod and a notebook, here you find a cool docking station, allowing you to recharge your player and wake-up to your favourite playlist, and a free (but massively improvable) wi-fi connection - plus a printer on each floor, just in case.
Included in the price you also get a comfortable bed, a respectable breakfast, LCD tv, coffee machine (and if you're too dumb or too European to operate it, like yours truly, a friendly waiter will deliver a complimentary hectoliter of freshly brewed coffee to your room), Aveda bath amenities, a free drink at the lounge bar, friendly staff. Just so that not only your ipod and laptop feel at home.
Decor is sleek and quite trendy, the only annoying thing being a split bathroom, with wc and tub in a separate room and the basin right in front of the bed.
*This is now known as The Jet Hotel*
Stayed here for a business trip and was pleasantly surprised at the ammenities. As I was checking-in I was told that all guests receives a complimentary drink, just drop by the bar. The foyer and reception area is very hip and modern. I like that fact that internet is free and they even provide the printer (in common areas for their guests). The rooms are not as spacious, but very nicely furnished - modern lines. There is a balcony, whirlpool tub, flat screen tv, and a mini bar. If bath products is important to you, the Jet's bath ammenities are Aveda products. Only down side, barely any closet space and that my room's closet is right by the door, with just a curtain as a partition. The hotel's location is ideal as restaurants are within walking distance. Not to mention, the hotel also has it's own. Good boutique hotel!
Jet just had a grand re-opening of the club underneath the hotel! I never went to Jet before they re-did it, but based on what I saw, the new Jet is going to be Denver's new hot-spot! Immediately upon entering I was handed a glass of champagne & had my picture taken by photographers. After some mingling we headed downstairs to the VIP floor where I was extremely impressed with the decorum- it was all glass, black & mirrored; completely hypnotic. The layout of the VIP is half tables, & half bar/ dancefloor. The stairs, with convenient clear glass underneath the railing (watch out in your short dresses girls!) were the in the center of the floor. The only downside of the whole club is that the scene is very elite; so pretty much if you don't know people, it won't be as fun. But on the bright side there are always people eager to buy you drinks, which is nice for us ladies because the drinks are pretty pricey there. All in all, Jet is definitely the place to be on a Saturday night!
P.S. The patio area is actually a great place for a smoke break. It is roped off & on a platform so you still maintain the club atmosphere while outside!
This place is so stupid. The staff here was rude and there was a whole FLOOR located in the basement that they had designated as the VIP lounge, how stupid.
what?! flava flav came to Jet and i missed it? All right, well I used to think this place was cool...but now the cool factor has been upped considerably.
Jet Hotel is a fun place to go to on the weekends, but if you hang out with kids who have too much money and are obsessed with it you will get tired of going there every weekend. The music is pretty good and dancing is always a good time.
Love the JET esp. when Minor gets bottle service. I la u.
Superb service, wonderful decor, extravagant balconies on most of the rooms, an excellent bar, and discreet private club downstairs. I highly recommend Jet
I'm a sucker for dancing and usually end up at pubs (due to my friends), so going to Jet is a treat for me. I love the music the play and DJ Alex rocks. So, it's just a great place for drinks and dancing.
I operate my business out of my apartment so I'm always looking for cool places to meet for business chats - the lounge at The Jet is a great place to meet up with people. Very chill atmosphere with low lights, smooth decor and big comfy couches. Music and chatter enough to keep things interesting, but not too much to make conversation difficult. Best time for a meeting there is between 5-7.
I like this place a lot, its a lot more sophisticated crowd, although drinks are a little pricey.
Swanky hotel with free drinks? Sign me up.
I have to admit that I seem to always have a great time when I visit this bar. The people are fun and the atmosphere is great. I really enjoy coming here with friends, especially when I can stay the night in a room and not worry about getting home at night : )!
