Very friendly staff, easy parking in deck behind the hotel, even on game day. Room was very pleasant and had all that you needed. Be careful if you have mobility issues, you have to step over the side of a soaking tub for the shower.

I stayed here on the first night they opened with my daughter. We were on a road trip and wanted to see Boulder. The hotel is beautiful, and they thought of every detail. It was walking distance to Pearl Street, which was nice.
