Overpriced for a budget caliber hotel. But such is Boulder. Clean, ok beds, and nice shower. Worth it for the location! Can walk to downtown or “the hill”. Great to have the microwave and mini frig. We were ok with it, but noise sensitive folks may not prefer, as sits right on Broadway, a busy road. Does quiet down in the wee hours.

This property is old, but it's well maintained. We asked for a quiet room and got one. It is definitely no frills. The location couldn't be better for us. We stayed 3 nights for a conference on campus and didn't have to use our car until we checked out. There are plenty of good restaurants on Walnut and Pearl streets, which we could walk to. If we had to complain, we would about the washcloths which are rough on the skin, and the shower gel which didn't lather well. We will return.

They said the hotel was non smoking, but my room smelled like an ashtray. Also my bathroom window would not close all the way. It is on Broadway, so a bit noisy but located close to the hill.

Clean. Good price for what you get.

The room and beds were very clean. It's a motel so the entrance to each room is from the outside. It was close to downtown Boulder and I stayed here so I could walk to the free shuttle bus on weekends to Eldora Mountain for skiing. The only negative for me was that I left my luggage with them when I went skiing and there was no locking it up nor did I get a ticket or anything. You just had to trust them. It worked out fine but would have preferred something a little more "official".
