This column indicates the typical price range of this hotel. We use the following codes: E=Economy (under $50), M=Midrange ($50 to $100), U=Upscale ($100 to $150), L=Luxury (over $150). Please note that room rates fluctuate (seasonal popularity, special events in the area, etc.).

Fit

Discount Hotels near the Interstates in Denver offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near the Interstates in Denver offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near the Interstates in Denver offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

Denver Culture and Sports
   Skyscrapers in downtown Denver, the Mile High City, seem to really reach the sky. Denver's many different neighborhoods share a common trait of being incredibly hospitable and visitor-friendly. Visit major breweries, the magnificent State Capitol, museums, and more. As the biggest city for over 600 miles around, Denver is the cultural locus of the Rocky Mountain states.
   Denver is home to the Nuggets, Denver's NBA basketball team, the Rockies baseball team (National League) and the Broncos (American Football League). Tickets can be hard to come by - especially at the last minute. If you would like to watch one of their games while in Denver, Ticket-Lady.com can probably get your tickets at a pleasant price. Or, if you already have tickets but find you will be unable to use them, Ticket-Lady.com would be most happy to buy them from you. You can be sure there is someone out there looking for those tickets.
