This is an awesome hotel. There was nothing I would have changed or wished was better. The bed was super comfortable. The gym was clean and well stocked. The robes super soft. The entire facility was immaculate. Easy parking in the garage. I’ve already made plans to return so I can use the pool and get breakfast in the morning. It felt like a luxury stay at a reasonable price!

Really liked the location and parking at Limelight Boulder. We liked the health club and loved the pool and jacuzzi. Two things were terrible. The restaurant had food which was terrible. Everything was cold and it all tasted as if it was heated up. We really wanted to leave and send the food back but the waiter was no where to be found. Lastly, the rooms were comfortable but the shower was terrible. The shower head had the pressure of a gallon milk jug with holes and you couldn’t even stand under the water because the bath nozzle stuck way out in the tub. The desk claimed they were working to correct the issue.
Nice clean room with great views
View from our room was impressive
Terrible food and service at the restaurant. Would never, ever eat there again
Absolutely no pressure in the shower. Can’t get under the water because the tub faucet sticks out. Also, a poorly designed shower which doesn’t keep water from flower all over the bathroom. We used all the towels to dry the floors.
