Charlie

United States, February 2024

7.6/10

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The modern and clean rooms were comfortable but lacked privacy due to the window facing the walkway. The service was friendly and accommodating, although a bit too laid back for my taste. The location was convenient for exploring Boulder, but some aspects of the dining experience were misleading. Overall, a decent option with some room for improvement.

7.8/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and had some unique features like skylights and a Peloton bike for yoga, but they still had a familiar Quality Inn feel and could use some bathroom updates. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and attentive staff providing great recommendations throughout my two-week stay. The location was excellent, just a few blocks from the Pearl St Mall, giving off a nice community vibe and being close to the venues I needed to visit. The dining experience had its ups and downs with a good selection and a cozy bar, but the pricing felt a bit high for the overall amenities offered. Although the facilities were decent, they could use some improvement to match the cost of the stay.

I love this hotel mainly for its location. It's perfect for revisiting, close to CU Boulder, and within walking distance to various attractions, making it an ideal spot to explore from. The convenience of being near Pearl Street added to the whole experience.

Dining

5.0

Unfortunately, the breakfast here was not exactly worth the price tag. It left much to be desired with limited options. I found it overpriced for what was provided, and a couple of guests, including myself, mistook it for a complimentary meal due to how it was presented.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel's facilities were great overall. Everything was well-maintained and added to the pleasant atmosphere of the stay.
