Top Boulder Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"The property was wonderful, safe, very quiet, and the staff were so friendly! Ending our day in the hot tub was so relaxing! Highly recommend!!"

Hilton Garden Inn Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Temperature thruout hotel was cool and comfortable. Staff was very friendly. My husband said the "to order" breakfast was THE BEST breakfast in a hotel he has had and the price was very reasonable. We walked to Pearl street mall, 1.3 mile via Canyon, a safe walkway the entire way. The elevator was a little confusing coming back from a great little pool. The time on the QR code for pool hours said 7 am but when I got there, it was posted 8 am."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Boulder

8/10 Good

"Of course it was Boulder, CO so I had to pay a high price but I expected more value. The property was convieniently located and was basically kept clean. The problem is it is not well maintained for a facility of this stature. For example, the hand rails in the elevators were all loose and revealed that they were not properly installed. This sort of problem shows up in several areas of the room as well. The staff was helpful but always seemed to be somewhere else when you went to the front desk for assistance. While the TVs in the room were very large screen, it was impossible to figure out how to use them with the most complex remote controls I have ever seen! Finally, as a person of "some years", I felt very uneasy in the shower with lack of adequate hand holds and a slippery floor. This was a concern for an extended stay."
