Perfectly comfortable, perfectly clean,

Perfectly comfortable, perfectly clean, easy & friendly. The bed was a little bouncy/soft but otherwise good to have two queens for a family of 4 to share. The shower was particularly nice, hot and forceful. We have stayed there before, and we would definitely stay there again.

Golden Buff is Good Stuff!

Perfectly located in central Boulder, (not far from the CU campus) and easy to find off the main highway. Walking distance to all that you need, and located on the main bus route for a easy get around. They serve a no charge continental breakfast, till 10:00, so you do not have to get up early for your meal. This is important because they have nice soft pillows (which you can purchase for only $15) and very comfy beds. There are a lot of food options available for the breakfast, and polite staff to assist you. They cook your waffle for you! The staff definately went out of their way to accomodate our requests with a pleasant attitude. This is the third time that I have stayed at this hotel and this is the third time that I am glad that I stayed at this hotel. This is not a five star award winning formula hotel, with elegance and beautiful decor. But it does the job perfectly for my family. Next time I need to go to Boulder, I will stay at the Golden Buff, it is Good Stuff!

Time-saving tip: In Hotel

The continental breakfast is not the most elegant breakfast you will ever have, however it is certainly was adequate and tasty. I would recommend utilizing this option because not only does it save you buying a meal, but it saves you so much time! There is a lot of fun things to do in Boulder...Go do them!

Love the golden buff

My second time staying there, as one of the cheaper hotels, it definitely exceeds my expectations. Free breakfast buffet, health spa room with a jacuzzi, sauna, treadmill and elliptical machine. It's right in the middle of a bunch of shops and restaurants. The only negative is there's no good view out of the room window since its only 2 stories, but that is ok, because you need not travel out of the way but a few minutes to see them awesome mountains. I love it out there in Boulder, and I will be staying at the golden buff again and again.

Health spa room on the first floor, the first time i stayed there I didn't know about it. it's about the size of two hotel rooms, but i have never seen anybody else in it, so it's very nice when you and your travel partner(s) get the whole place to yourself for a while.

Cheap, Trashy, Dirty, Location OK

Bad experience at the hotel. I did not like it from the start but they forced me into staying and would not let me receive a refund. It is exterior entrance so be prepared to fend off weirdos (this is boulder..by the way). The room was small and stinky. Dirty socks were found in between the mattress and box spring. Dont waste your time here go find another hotel.
