"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!
