The motel was great, the staff was great, close to downtown and activities. Room was a bit pricy at $300.

The staff was friendly and location is great as it’s near Pearl Street. The motel is a bit dated though.

Great little affordable motel, smack dab in the middle of Boulder. 5 minute walk to Pearl St., 10 minute walk to campus, short drive to Chautauqua or numerous other hiking spots.

Overpriced for a budget caliber hotel. But such is Boulder. Clean, ok beds, and nice shower. Worth it for the location! Can walk to downtown or “the hill”. Great to have the microwave and mini frig. We were ok with it, but noise sensitive folks may not prefer, as sits right on Broadway, a busy road. Does quiet down in the wee hours.

This property is old, but it's well maintained. We asked for a quiet room and got one. It is definitely no frills. The location couldn't be better for us. We stayed 3 nights for a conference on campus and didn't have to use our car until we checked out. There are plenty of good restaurants on Walnut and Pearl streets, which we could walk to. If we had to complain, we would about the washcloths which are rough on the skin, and the shower gel which didn't lather well. We will return.

Nice hotel
The front desk person, Samantha, was really nice and accommodating. They let me store my skis for a few hours to go shopping, after checkout.
