A-Lodge Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"A-Lodge exceeded our expectations!!! A perfect retreat from Denver. Can't wait to return!"

Hilton Garden Inn Boulder

8/10 Good

"The property was clean and the room was nice. The check in was a nightmare because the parking was not explained to us and no pamphlet was provided to explain how to set it up. We spent 10-12 minutes while people waited behind us in their cars. Just trying to set up ourselves so we could get into the garage. Later we found there was a sticker that could be applied to the back of our room card and it would have spared us the whole mess! Another issue is that one of the elevators was not working for our entire 6 day stay! ALL SIX DAYS! So there was only one elevator for our stay. There are definitely safety issues involved with that (as well as long waiting times) and they include fire and medical. So do I think this was a nice hotel? Yes, but ease of parking and elevator access especially as a safety issue really need to be addressed."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"One of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve stayed in. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and knowledgeable. The breakfast is a yummy bonus. We were there Fri and Sat night and the person running the breakfast was on point and super kind. The room was quiet and we slept well. The parking is great being all around the building with easy access. My sister and I enjoyed it so much that when we come back to Boulder in a couple months for another event we set ourselves and other family up to stay here."

Homewood Suites by Hilton - Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay and would definitely return! The hotel offered a great variety of breakfast options each morning, my kids absolutely loved the waffles and whipped cream. The basketball hoop on the property was a huge hit with my kids, i’m glad we carry a vball and bball when we travel. My kids also enjoyed playing the large Jenga game in the lobby. The atmosphere is very family-friendly and welcoming. Our suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable, giving us plenty of room to relax. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Overall, this was a fantastic experience for my kids and I, and we recommend giving it a try :)"

Residence Inn by Marriott Boulder Canyon Boulevard

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great. The staff was super helpful, breakfasts were delicious and every employee was super friendly. We ate breakfast there almost every day. The only issue we had was the room key expired 15 minutes before checkout so we got locked out while we were moving our items out. We were part of a group and heard this happened everywhere so I think it’s coded that way intentionally"
