We reccomend booking at the Grand Hyatt Denver through http://www.denver.org/hotels/denver5280hoteldeals/special-hotel-packages
This deals through this site can get 4 people in a single room for 2 nights at about $70 a person (assuming you can find 3 friends you's want to bunk with). This hotel is in easy walking distance of the convention center and the 16th street mall. It is also close to a few light rail terminals, wich will get you to Elitch Gardens.
All events have been selected for their proximity to the light rail. If you can find a better deal on lodging, try getting something that has nearby light rail access so you can save some scratch on transportation!
