"Ver good place to stay!"
Overall Score5.0/5
I always stay at this hotel when in Boulder, two times a year. It is the best! The desk people are courteous. The free breakfast is nice, complete with automatic pancake maker! Everything you would want is there at your service for free! Coffee is available most times of day and cookies at night. The rooms are kept clean and the staff is very friendly. The beds are especially wonderful! The linens are great, too! Overall, a very good place to stay!

This was a very nice hotel. Clean and the breakfast was very fulfilling. The staff is GREAT!! The front desk workers were so kind and helpful. Even when leaving for the airport before breakfast was being served offered to get me something for the road. It’s close to a lot of things without being on the main road... I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Boulder that wants to stay out of the busy downtown streets. Also, NO PARKING ISSUES staying here. Plenty of parking and NOT on the street! YAY!!

This hotel was fantastic and the staff was great. We had a breathtaking view of the mountains behind us. The beds were very comfortable and the free breakfast was nice and fulfilling. The only complaint I would have is that the pool was an outdoor pool which doesn’t make much sense to have in Colorado. If I ever find myself in Boulder again, I would definitely stay here.

This hotel was very clean, and overall a great environment. It is located off of Broadway in a very easy location to enter and exit especially with this being our first time in Boulder and not knowing our way around the town at all. We got the king room with a balcony. It was nice having the balcony but there was no view, it just looked out at the road, and homeless shelter. If you get a room on the backside of the hotel though without a balcony you get a view of the foothills which is gorgeous especially at sunset. We would most definitely stay here again, it was a good experience although we did not spend too much time there due to being out and exploring, but, when we were there we felt safe and comfortable. Also, the breakfast there is delicious every single morning! Overall a very family friendly environment that is well kept up.

The hotel was clean and made us feel at home. I can't say enough about how comfortable the bed was. I got the best sleep of my trip to Colorado at this hotel. The location was on the outskirts of town but everything was easily accessible.

We stayed for 3 nights in an Executive King room. Very spacious - comfortable super king bed with choice of pillows, sofa, two armchairs, dining table and chairs, kitchenette with fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Bathroom with good countertop space, decent shower and complimentary toiletries including body lotion and mouthwash.
Excellent hot and cold buffet breakfast with particularly good selection of pastries. Even provide bags so you can grab and go if you're in a rush. Free cookies available from 7pm.
Small outdoor pool (but only chairs and no loungers), small gym and laundry facility on site.
Good location. 4 miles from centre of Boulder in direction of Rocky Mountain NP and near a village with walkable restaurants, plus an excellent upscale supermarket and deli a couple mins drive away (Luckys).
Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Good value for money. Recommended.
