Littleton Adventist Hospital
Jul 28, 2007 by Todd from Lakewood,CO
Overall Rating: 1 User Rating Score: 1

  • The building is nice? That really doesn't matter if the service is so bad.
  • Highly unorganized, understaffed, inefficient, and run by incompetent management.

“Highly unorganized, understaffed, inefficient and run by incompetent management. The building is nice, and the people are nice, but no one knows what is going on. We had tests that were supposed to occur that ended up never being scheduled. They often blamed their computer system, but they did not know how to use it. They ended up giving an IV drip loaded with sugar to a diabetic. I had to figure out why her blood sugar was so high. I turned the iv drip off myself because no one would help us. Her blood sugar levels got up to 450 which it hasn't been that high since she became a diabetic. I wanted to make a complaint, but there was no one to complain too. I went to the front desk, and called the operator. They said they will send someone to speak with us and no one ever came. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.”

Cheesman Park
May 4, 2007 by Rick from Denver
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • The Natural beauty of the park; others are usually very friendly.
  • As a park in the middle of a large city, you'll occasionally have the weirdo factor.

“Chessman park is one of those great places to go on an afternoon walk or a picnic lunch. The shops on the side streets near the park allow you to get something to eat or drink too, so you can be spontaneous about it. The pavilion on the hill is magnificent and the botanic gardens are just around the corner. I used to go there with my girlfriend; and it is a nice place for couples to spend time together outside but right in the middle of the city.”

Ocean Journey Aquarium
Feb 12, 2007 by Dawn from Charlotte, NC
Overall Rating: 10 User Rating Score: 10

  • Open late, discounted rates after 6pm, beautiful exhibits, nice gift shop.
  • The restaurant is expensive, small parking fee.

“Last august my husband and I visited the downtown aquarium just before we moved from co back to NC. We'd heard great things about the newly renovated aquarium and decided to make it a mandatory stop before leaving the state. I'm so glad we did, as we both thoroughly enjoyed our day there! It was beautifully decorated, with a wide array of sealift as well as non-aquatic animals. One of the best features of the aquarium was the sting ray petting & feeding area. As a child, I had pet a few sting rays at sea world, but Iżd never had the opportunity to feed them. We were able to see the entire aquarium in about 3-4 hours, and then stopped off at the gift shop, which offered a variety of fairly priced items. I highly recommend this aquarium to anyone visiting the Denver area. I wish it was close enough for us to visit again!”
