This is a cheap motel - and you get what you pay for! I asked for a non-smoking room. That is what was on the door. In spite of this, the room reeked of stale smoke. By the time I mentioned this, I had already settled in for the night after a long flight. The Alfalfa's store across the street... More

This hotel is nestled in the very low foothills right near the mountains (as opposed to strip mall city that is most of Boulder). It's 3 blocks from Pearl Street Mall and the other hotels that charge $300 a night, and it's right across the street from Alfalfa's, the local Whole Foods equivalent. Very convenient to Canyon St (which everything... More

My initial thought on this place was, "what a great location for only $70!" Then I walked into the room only to be choked by the intense smell of smoke. My attempts to change rooms were fruitless- the front desk agent seemed well-rehearsed for this common complaint. Do not stay here if you value sleep. Its prime location turned into... More

This is the second time we have stayed at UI. We love to go to Pearl Street so this is the perfect location to be in walking distance. The place does need some updating and it is scheduled to begin in October. The pictures of their plans look great. The staff is helpful and very friendly.

Arriving here to stay a few nights prior to our daughter attend the Fall Semester at CU Boulder was pleasant. The rooms are ample size but we needed a larger room for the four of us (two parents, college freshman and younger brother). We traveled all over Asia last year so we work well together in small spaces but the... More

We chose this hotel due to the location, within walking distance of pearl street and the college. The location was the best part. Price was high for what it was. Breakfast was ok. We also enjoyed the free bike rentals they offered, which was nice since they are located right next to a great bike path! The room was ok,... More

I booked two nights at the University Inn because it was the cheapest option I found that was walking distance from the city center. And while about $110 was cheaper than the other hotels, it seemed too much to pay for what I got. The room was clean, but clearly hasn't had any work done in 10-20 years. I could... More

There is a sign in the lobby that says the entire motel is going to be rebuilt/remodeled in the near future. When making a reservation, you will want to ask the hotel when the remodel will start or whether it is done. We stayed in room 119. There were no maintenance issues. The carpeting is dark. The room was clean... More

We shopped around for a hotel that would be close to the downtown Pearl Street area and this place was within walking distance and the price was reasonable compared to the other chains in the area or the upscale places at $250+/night. We only stayed one night, thank goodness, because the room wasn't that great. It smelled like smoke, although... More
