Did this before i ironically moved here and became an expert on the place. Not a good overnight airport but it is a really nice regular hours airport.

Airport hotels are far and require decently long drive plus waiting for them. Prices were high

I was only napping short overnight but i was woken up twice asking why i was there by staff other than that i rarely saw anyone except a few random cleaners. I did overnight here but it was empty and not pleasant. Food was hard to find only one junky 24 hour food in terminal A so you probably will have to ride the train. When i overnighted it was empty and creepy here staff acted like they had never seen anyone overnighting here. Not a very pleasant experience. Close by SLC is a much better airport for over nighting and is a close by hub so if you have to overnight i would try to do it on Delta in SLC. Much better experience there in every way compared to DEN. DEN is too empty overnight, creepy and staff dont seem to like you doing it. The three terminals separated by train add to making it seem even more deserted.

I would try to avoid overnighting here unless you have a really short overnight and can stay awake it is very clean and regular hours has tons to do.

The last review for this airport was in 2010. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
