Too expensive for what you get!

Hotel is very run down especially on the outside. The bathroom was updated, the bed comfy but very basic room. The smoke detector was missing, just the wires were left hanging from the wall! Would have been ok if the price had not been this much! It was more expensive than the Moxy that is newer and nicer! Wished I had booked another hotel for this price.

The location was very convenient (walking distance to downtown and campus and very quick access to running/walking trails). This was the main reason we chose it. Not particularly quiet but not as noisy as I'd have expected given the very busy location. Room was quite basic, but clean. Many dining options nearby.

I was happy to have this more affordable option in the area, and it was about as expected. Still pricey, but you are paying for the location. Pros: Available and helpful staff, coffee in lobby in the morning, free parking, no theft or other problems. Cons: No door safety latch or in-room safe, cheap shower head, non-functioning coffee maker in room, very basic. I would stay again if I were visiting the downtown Boulder area because it really is the most affordable option and I got a good night's sleep all three nights with no major issues.
