The cafeteria at Mesa Lab does not accept credit cards. There is an ATM in Mesa Lab by the entrance to the cafeteria. Transportation: The recommended airport is Denver International Airport, airport code DEN. Information concerning ground transportation can be obtained from the internet at the following URLs: http://www.flydenver.com http://greenrideboulder.com http://www.millenniumhotels.com/usa/millenniumboulder http://www.rtd-denver.com/index.shtml Information concerning airlines serving DEN may be found here: http://www.flydenver.com/flights Between Airport and Hotel: I recommend using Green Ride shuttle service from the airport to Boulder. The cost is $30 each way (plus tip). The ride will take about an hour and will take you to the hotel. You will need your flight information to book (to know if your flight is late). For more information see http://greenrideboulder.com There are other shuttle services at DEN. Major rent-a-car firms operate at DEN. A taxi from DEN to Boulder is possible but will cost about $100-$120 each way on the meter (plus tip). (When going to Boulder from DEN, some taxi drivers will negotiate a fixed, agreed-in-advance off-meter fare. Speak with the individual driver before leaving DEN to learn more.) The RTD bus AB runs directly (with a few stops) between DEN and Boulder, but it will leave you at Boulder Transit Center rather than at your hotel. You could take a cab from Boulder Transit Center to the hotel (5-10 minutes). You could walk, but may not wish to walk, especially with luggage. AB runs once an hour in each direction. AB costs $13 each way. Bus drivers do not make change, so have a ticket or correct change when boarding. The RTD web site http://www.rtd-denver.com/index.shtml has more information. Note that many transportation services at DEN cease operations daily after 2300 or so, so very late arrivals require more planning.
