Staying Happy in Downtown Denver at The Curtis Hotel
After I had my Thoracic Outlet Syndrome surgery in Denver, Colorado I needed a place to stay to recover and feel at home. After researching Denver for unique hotels I decided to stay at The Curtis in downtown for 5 nights. When I look for a hotel to stay in I tend to prefer a hotel with modern decor, personality, originality, good location, and free wifi. I also like to
Don’t Miss my TV Debut on National Geographic’s ‘FleaMan’ airing this JULY!
Post Photos will be added in a few days. I wanted to get this post up for you guys before heading into surgery.
