Love this new hotel!!!!!!

The hotel and staff were fabulous! It had a steamer and humidifier which was lovely! ❤️❤️ The pillows are the overly soft kind so that would be more only improvement option to have a variety of pillow types.

wouldnt stay here

I wouldnt stay here. The room was not clean. Housekeeping came the next day and still didnt clean or vacuum. Then they charge a $20 PER DAY fee to use their pool and cars even though you dont use them. Power went out for hours and not a single person even acknowledged it. View is awesome. Potential here, but disappointing stay

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.
