For Boulder or Louisville games, either Longmont or Broomfield/Westminster hotels are a good alternative. There are several "major side-road" routes to get into Boulder from either location with a 30 minute drive without having to fight the rush-hour traffic on the turnpike, if your games during the weekday portion of the tournament put you on the road during those times. Heck, if your game times are accommodating, you could actually set up in Golden (west Denver metro, right at the bottom of the foothills) and take highway 93 into Boulder, but you don't want to be on that road during rush hour. Of course, there aren't going to be too many hotel bargains around that timeframe anywhere along the Front Range, but $249 seems a bit steep.
