Going to Denver (Golden)

I won't be there until the 10th or 11th, so I'll miss the cruise night in Golden, unless they do it every Saturday, then I could make it on the 15th or 16th, whatever day saturday is. There's a good cruise in Aurora, but I don't remember what night of the week or during what months.

I think a Sheraton would be out of my price range. I'm staying almost a week on short notice, so didn't have a chance to save. I need really cheap.
