Started in Just Denver (South - Park Meadows) and 3 stars, dropped stars, no luck. Added Tech Center area and got this hotel. The hotel isn't great, but it's okay. Used your PRICELINE links.

We just had a trip where our room had only a King bed and a small sofa bed. The room was booked for 4 people (2 adults and two kids ages 9 &12). It can happen. The hotel was an All Suite hotel with just sing King beds (and kitchenettes to make it a suite). I called Hotwire because I was surprised. I was told that a King bed and a sofa bed will sleep 4 people.

Wanted to follow up on my posting for this hotel/bid. This hotel has only rooms with King beds. So even though I entered our information as 2 adults and 2 children ages 12 & 9 we were given a room with one King bed and a small pull-out sofa bed. Both were in the same room with a floor-to-celing Entertainment Book shelf between them ( on which sat a nice TV that swivels to be viewed from either the bed or the sofa). When the sofa bed was pulled out it the foot of it was 1" away from the entertainment wall. There were 12" of room between the foot of the King bed and the entertainment wall. So felt crowded as we had to shuffle single file to move around the room. This set up might work fine for some families (we saw little kids at breakfast) but for our boy and girl and their ages, it was not something I would have chosen. I knew it was a 'suite' hotel when I booked -- but have seen most suite hotels with 2 real beds. I was surprised to learn this hotel only had Kings. Also, if you are booking a 'suite' hotel for the advantage of a door that closes the bedroom from the living room (like Staybridge Suite Hotels) this hotel doesn't automatically have that. I think this has some rooms with a door to the bedroom, but they still only have a King bed and a sofa bed. There was a nice kitchenette, free wifi, a great exercise room, an outdoor pool and an okay breakfast. The hotel looks very new. The staff was very nice.
