Hilton Garden Inn Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival ... Kelsea ... the manager ... went over and beyond in welcoming my wife and I. The staff was courteous and professional. The location is great."

Foot of the Mountain Motel

8/10 Good

"Great location! Nice to take breakfast on the lawn behind the rooms for the fabulous view. Comfortable bed and well appointed room. Communication could have been better about hours of breakfast and offerings, there was conflicting information on line as to breakfast start time which got us behind schedule on the first day. Second day understood the process and no problems encountered with check out. Thanks!"

Boulder University Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Location great for me. I enjoyed my stay."

Bradley Boulder Inn

8/10 Good

"A really great location if you want to be a short walk from the Pearl Street Mall. It’s a B&B so every room is unique and historic. The rooms are dated, but that’s expected in a historic house. Parking is available for $25 per night. The buffet breakfast was above average. Clean and comfortable."

The Boulder Broker

10/10 Excellent

"We have been coming to the broker for a close to 30 years was where we got engaged back when they did brunch and tableside magic by Lamont. One of our favorite places in Boulder!"
