The Cherry Creek Mall which is a few blocks away and has a ton of restaurants, far more than the crap around TK. Its a very nice area. Also if you want to go for a run or long walk you can do so safely.
There is no comparison between the two areas.
I gave McD and iHop as examples for early morning food 24/7… but won't argue what is good/bad on restaurants… and you don't get to choose where you stay at UAL… BI gets you Doubletree at TK and you either get CC or Sheraton for sim training… don't think thats going to change anytime soon. By the way there is a terrific park that is about 1/4-1/3 mile East from TK (opposite of the bad area) that has a huge park with running and bike trails… its called Central Park and Bluff Lake area… its way nicer for outdoor exercising then Cherry Creek area. Each his own.
