What do you want to do in Denver? Both hotels will require a car since there is little to do in the vicinity of either one. The Reneissance (sp?) is closer to downtown, Cherry Creek, the zoo, Natural History Museum, Coors Field, etc. but not within walking distance. The other property you mention is closer to the mountains. I notice from Sheryl's priceline board that several people have bid for downtown Denver and stayed at the Hotel Monaco, a nice and very well located property, for the same or less than you will be paying. I'd give that a try.
