Doubletree Hotel Denver (Colorado)

Great staff - always friendly and helpful. Although this location isn't at the Denver Airport anymore, because the airport moved 15 miles away, they still function very much as an airport hotel - shuttles every 1/2 hour, lots of flight crew, and often where UA and Frontier send passengers stuck from cancellations. They do have park-and-fly arrangements available for leaving your car.

Reasonably priced for a full-service hotel. Decent food in the cafe restaurant and good selection of food and beers in the "Characters" bar.

Really comfortable beds - they have the new cushy beds that much of the Hilton Family brands are installing. Plenty of pillows. Very comfortable rooms and most of them have been renovated within the past year or two - a floor or two is still getting completed, so there's about a 20% chance of getting a comfortable but older-furnishings room.

Yes, the hotel overall is older, and the hallways, even on the renovated floors, could be a bit spiffier. But that's pretty minor compared to the overall quality of service and value for the money.

If you're visiting Denver, be aware that it's not downtown. It's about 20 minutes via the highway or a bit less if you know (or ask about) the back way. They do run a free shuttle to the 16th Street pedestrian mall heart of downtown Denver. So if you like to visit cities but not stay right in the downtown sections, this could be a good choice.

Lots of fast food and shopping options right across the street in the Stapleton shopping area, and a big new mall just across I-70 in the Stapleton Northfield center, so there's things to do in the area too.
