Disappointed Aug 1, 2009

I first stayed here 9 or so years ago. It was truly wonderful. Since then the property has gone down hill and suffers from ... obvious deferred maintenence and inattention to detail.The carpet in my room was very spotted and dirty and the bathroom not cleaned well. The flagstone at the front entry and steps was broken with large pieces missing, an obvious safety risk. The location is great (in the mountains but not too far from town). Breakfast was wonderful, as was the dessert served every evening. Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall, however, I left saddened by the deterioration of a formerly outstanding property.

NO CELL SERVICE AT THIS HOTEL!

gr8ful4life Jul 4, 2009

I arrived at the hotel (just getting into the place was an interesting task) only to find that my cell phone did not work at ... ALL. My cell phone rarely is unable to pick up a signal but apparently 'no cell phones' work there. As I was in Boulder on business and use my cell phone all day - this was not a workable deal for me. Sooooo there I was - in Boulder - late in the day - with no place to stay. The owners refused to give me a refund and after numerous heated conversations with Orbitz I got the last night of my stay refunded. Again - there I was - no place to stay - already a night's fee in the hole - tired - frustrated..... The lady at the front desk kindly referred me to the Bradley Inn in town. There was cell service there, a friendly greeting and snacks available upon arrival! Pooooo on Orbitz for not disclosing pertinent information. It IS 2009. Most people depend on their cell phones for business. If you are in an area that has not service - make CERTAIN it is BLATANTLY obvious on your website!

Beautiful inn in stellar location

CU Parent Jun 21, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

This is a beautifully furnished, very comfortable inn with a lovely dining room and an excellent hot breakfast. The setting ... in Boulder Canyon right on Boulder Creek is spectacular and yet just 4 miles from downtown Boulder and the University of Colorado. My only complaint is that a few small things didn't work right. There were bulbs in the recessed lighting that were burned out, a shelf in the bathroom was loose and coming off the wall and my door to the adjacent patio was broken so I couldn't use it to go out to the patio but had to walk around through adjacent hallway. Also, my bed was not "pillow topped". Fix those few samll things and this place is truly stellar.

Lovely hotel in a super location

Matt Feb 23, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

Found a great price for this hotel for a February trip to Boulder. It's a few miles up the canyon behind town, it took 5 ... minutes to drive to the hotel. The owners greeted me and took me to my room; all handled flawlessly. Nice breakfast in the morning. Would be a great spot to revisit in the summer as well.
