I see the hotel is 13 miles south of downtown Denver, but near Orchard Station on the light rail.
Should say something about the light rail run from the airport to the hotel? Straight shot? Transfers? Cost?

This was going to be included in the welcome package, but here it is also. It is a very short walk to the hotel from the Orchard Station. Google says .4 miles, but it is less than that. Two options to get there from the airport. 1) Easiest is take the A Train to Peoria Station, transfer to R Line to Orchard. 2) Take the AT Skyride bus from DIA to Arapahoe Station, transfer to E Line (you have to take the elevator and go over the I-25 overpass), Arapahoe Sta to first stop Orchard Sta. Bus runs from 6:17 AM to 1:17 AM except for additional times at 1:10, 2:10, 2:45, 3:00. 10:27. RTD schedule for trains, light rail, and buses can be found here: https://app.rtd-denver.com/schedules#airportservices.
If you will be riding a lot, get the RTD MyRide app. I use it and it is really convenient; otherwise, you can pay for tickets prior to boarding. Cost is $2.75 one way (3 hours), $5.50 all day, includes airport. If over 65, it is 1.35/2.70. They do random checks for tickets and ID.
