Hotels on Tower next to Peņa Blvd.
Well, for myself, last time UA had me stuck at DEN, I was given a room at some el cheapo motel near Tech Center that obviously had no shuttle to/from DEN. This ended up being about a half hour cab each way from DEN.
In contrast, UA gave me a voucher to el Crowne Plaza SFO when my IAD-SFO flight got to SFO 5 hours late. el Crowne Plaza did/does have a SFO shuttle. About 10 minutes at worst each way.
I'm not saying SFO is ideal but there's far more infrastructure to handle IRROPS nearby than DEN. Maybe UA's gotten better at DEN IRROPS and would take pity on me or others and send us to the hotels on Tower now but I'll let others who've gotten that option to post since I've given up on DEN as a connection for now.
