A Not-Nice Little Nugget of a View in Denver

Where: 150 East Colfax [map], Denver, CO, United States, 80218

You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.

Well, this is kind of depressing. On the bright side, while you can't see anything else, we suppose you can make out that springtime is coming because there is either rain or melted snow on the roof here, no?

This is a shot out the window of jabbusch's room at the Ramada Inn Downtown Denver, and it makes us very sad.

We don't usually harp on Ramada views because, well, we're not really expecting anything particularly spectacular when we're paying a fairly low room rate, but we think some of the TA reviews of this place are kind of funny — LollyNYC said:

"The Ramada's idea of "downtown" is like our idea of the outskirts of Queens. The area was questionable, and the characters at the bus stops made us decide not to ride public transit. This coming from two New Yorkers is saying a lot."

Hmm, so perhaps we were better off not seeing the view here, then?

Oh, and that thing we said about spring: nevermind. The next photo in Jabbusch's Flickr set — another anti-view from the same room — proves that's notsomuch the case.
