Boulder is usually a place we pass through on our way north from Denver on the way to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. This time, we actually stayed a night in Boulder to hang out on Pearl Street and see a few of the sites we hadn’t visited before including Celestial Seasonings, Leanin’ Tree, and the National Atmospheric...

No amenities whatsoever-- forgot a toothbrush and asked if they had anything and they replied that they sometimes do. Asked for a non-smoking room and came back to find it reeking from smoke. Exhausted I had to move all of my stuff late at night to a room that didn't stink. I would never stay here again and I have... More

I stayed here one night last July. They promise that there is free WiFi, but have to change room twice before I get at least signal. Staff was very helpful. Ended in to non-smoking room, but it smells like a smokers room?? :( More

Stayed at this motel for a one night on my way to Denver, its a typical motel nothing special about it, the room was large with a TV, it was clean with no funny smells. The bed was comfortable enough & the bathroom was also clean. There was some noise from the street which you can hear while in the... More

First, the +s for both stays (different rooms)....great location (U of Colorado is a 5 minute walk), good parking, large room, bathtub/shower combo nice, shampoo supplied, good room lighting, clock radio/CD player, LOTS of TV stations, best Continental breakfast I've seen, good rate ($51 + tax). The main negative was the TV was only decent size. Lastly, the positive and... More

We had two rooms actually 130 and 131 and they were quit expensive for such a dumpy place. We had no choice as we came during the Boulder Boulder run and so I'm sure that's why they raised their prices to $120 per room!!! My husband and I walked into room 130 and we were just blown away by the... More

This was the only hotel we could get as Boulder was fully booked due to the end of term and parents settling in their kid at Uni. We were surprised, our room was OK, we had a disabled room so the bathroom was huge, the hotel supplied coffee maker and cofee. The pool was a welcome relief, clean. The hotel... More

My daughter attends CU and was moving into her new apartment which is located very close to this hotel. I had read the reviews and knew I wasn't getting a 3 star hotel.

Dear Susipolaris Thank you for your comments. I apologize about the smells you encountered at check in. The room we gave you was professionally shampooed the day before you checked in, when this was done unfortunately some odors were brought out of the carpet that should have been treated before we put the room in service.

We found this motel to be fine for our needs. It was basic, low-cost accommodation in a very convenient location, right next to the campus. The room was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. My wife left some sandals behind and one of the staff members very pleasantly took the trouble to find them and send them on... More

We booked this hotel because of it's location and price. First off the staff wasn't there when we went to check in. There was another group of people waiting so they tried calling the front desk and no one responded. It took a good 10 mins before someone came to the front desk. Overall the room felt dirty and the... More
