There are several Snooze breakfast locations however, I favor the one in Denver's Central Station because the station itself is fun to check out. Here are a few tips: Arrive at Snooze early! Also, the hotel has valet parking which I've always been able to use even though I'm not staying at the hotel. I leave a nice tip. The 16th bus (trolley) runs up and down this street and is free. Exploring Denver made easy.
