Aurora is Denver's big eastern suburb, and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus — UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, Children's Hospital Colorado and the VA — sits on the old Fitzsimons Army base at Colfax Avenue and I-225. Hotels split into two clusters: a handful of newer chain properties on Colfax within a mile of the campus gates, and a cheaper strip of older chains and extended-stays along I-225 at Alameda, Mississippi and Iliff, 3-5 miles south. Both are a 10-15 minute drive to any hospital entrance; only the Colfax cluster is walkable to it. Nothing here is a tourist neighbourhood — it is medical, military and commuter, with chain restaurants, a King Soopers or Safeway within a mile of almost every hotel, and free parking nearly everywhere.

Pros

✓ 10-15 minutes to every hospital entrance on the Anschutz campus✓ Free parking at almost every hotel vs paid hospital garages✓ Extended-stay properties with real kitchens and weekly rates

Cons

⚠ 9-12 miles from downtown Denver; the R-Line light rail helps but is slow⚠ Nothing to do in the evening beyond chain restaurants⚠ Colfax-cluster hotels are priced for medical visitors, not budget travellers

🛡️ Safety: The Anschutz campus itself is patrolled and well lit around the clock. East Colfax outside the campus is a busy, mixed strip — fine by car, less pleasant on foot at night. The I-225 hotel clusters are ordinary suburban commercial areas; lock the car and keep luggage out of sight.
