Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This was one of the best hotels that i have ever stayed in. Everything, from the lobby, elevators, hallways, and room were spotless. Every single employee was friendly and attentive. I have worked in the hospitality industry for the past 20 yrs and have traveled a ton. Limelight is in the heart of campus, and during homecoming weekend they were slammed. The level of service that they provided was outstanding from check in to check out!

From valet parking to check-in to luggage assistance upon my arrival, everything went smoothly. The room is very comfortable, modern yet cozy. The food in the restaurant is excellent, although the server could use a little more training; however, it was still a very good experience overall. The in-room coffee is also outstanding. Limelight Boulder gets a top rating in my book.
