Top University of Colorado Boulder Hotel Reviews

Basecamp Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, location and amenities. John and staff were very nice and helpful. Highly recommended!"

Hotel Boulderado

10/10 Excellent

"This is top tier service and thoughtfulness for the customer, starting with the best front desk welcome and departure service ever."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"This was a clean hotel with a great pool and workout facility and a first-rate (hot) breakfast."

Hyatt Place Boulder/Pearl Street

10/10 Excellent

"The room, the property was excellent. We had to go back twice because the room wasn’t ready, which delayed our arrival time, and we were scheduled to check in at 3 PM. while we got there at 2 o’clock, they said the room wasn’t ready, came back at 3 o’clock, they said the room wasn’t ready, they said it’d be about another hour and a half, got there at 4:30, and finally a 4:45 our room was ready, and we had to be at dinner at 5:15 how was the only issue we had was the late check-in"

Limelight Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect spot for our family to explore Boulder and RMNP. It has so many great amenities: outdoor lounge with yard games, outdoor pool, great restaurant, and walkable distance to downtown. We will definitely stay here again!"

Boulder Marriott

8/10 Good

"The suite had plenty of room with the separate living area. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable at all. The bathroom was large with double sinks but had the mirror placed in between the sinks which didn't make sense at all. Other than that we liked the room and it was great for the weekend. The restaurant food was really good also."

Walnut Mews - Quiet Creekside townhome next to Pearl Street

8/10 Good

"Wonderful property and location"

Bradley Boulder Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It is a unique In. Craftsman style with beautiful woods and stained glass and living room with stone fireplace. Enjoyed having breakfast included and a happy hour."

Charming Historic Home located on the Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place in a great location. Host was very accommodating. Lots of extras in the kitchen and bathroom if you forget something. There is not a TV which is kind of surprising. I guess assumed all places have a TV. This is not a negative just something to plan for."
