Rudi: Thanks for the tip about the restaurant at the Brown Palace. I'm salivating thinking about that lamb!

Good tip on the Comfort Inn, too. I'll keep it in mind for another trip. I'm working in the DTC area (15 miles south of downtown Denver) this trip; staying at the Marriott there. IMO DTC Marriott is one of their better hotels, much nicer than the average "Airport Marriott" as you put it so well.
