Indoc is two weeks. Aircraft training varies by fleet and individual schedule. Roughly six weeks.
While completing Denver training, could some open days be expected with opportunities & flights for short visits back home?
You may have as little as two days off between indoc and aircraft training or as much as a few weeks.
Does UAL provide a hotel room for the entire Denver stay (if so, is the room lost if gone home for a couple days?)?
Every time you have days off, at least once per week, you can have positive-space passes back home. The instructors expect everyone to go home when there are days off. You'll be back home once a week.
If you're just going home for a "weekend" then you keep the same hotel room. If it's a longer break you'll checkout then get a new room when you return.
You can also expense your laundry when in long-term training (over 5 days for the total program) so when you leave for your positive-space ride home just drop off your laundry at the hotel desk and it'll be ready for you when you return. They'll teach you how to file the expense claims during indoc.
