Why not just take the train to Union Station, then take a short cab ride from there to your hotel?

Also, about wrangling your luggage through the airport at Denver: look for the elevators if you don't feel secure about using escalators with all that stuff.

The airport doesn't highlight them, but look around you when you're near an escalator and you'll probably see one or more elevators not far away. They are of course required for ADA accessibility reasons, but anyone can use them. And I do when I'm burdened with more bags than I feel like taking onto an escalator, or my tricky hip joint is bugging me.

In the main Terminal, there are elevators around the outside perimeter on the East and West side. And three in the middle of the Terminal, in those big silo looking structures. I don't know where the elevator is that serves the A train station (the train to downtown) but I'm sure there is one.

Inside the airport, at all three airport train platforms (Concourses A, B, and C), there are elevators located at each end in the walls behind the escalators.

Finally, if you've gone through the A security checkpoint, and walked across that bridge over the taxiway to Concourse A, you will get to the end, where the walkway branches out to right and left. And in front of you is a lobby with doors leading to the USO and an airline lounge. The design is intended to funnel passengers either right or left. It's a kind of zig zag leading to escalators to get either up to the main concourse level or down to the trains. I think it's a PITA and I know it's a roundabout route. But you don't have to take it. Don't take the right or left options, just keep walking straight, and head for those USO/airport lounge doors. Don't go through those doors, but look to your left as you approach them. Inside that lobby, on your left outside those doors, there is an elevator. You can ride it up to the main concourse or down to the trains.

There are virtually no hotel rooms (Marriott or Hilton) in downtown Denver or the Cherry Creek area starting this Sunday; what the heck is going on next week?

Just inside the hotel entrance, door to the left (and right I believe) when exiting the train. Quicker than the long escalator, and more pleasant when it's cold.
