This hotel reminds me of the retro 60's style hotel from the outside. L-shaped, 2 story with balconies or a 1st floor patio. It is conveniently located to everything. The parking was a bit tight but Boulder just experienced an early spring snowstorm and the snow took up some space. I was pleasantly surprised with the clean room, it was... More

I stayed here for a conference at the law school and was very pleased with this hotel. The room was clean, the staff was very friendly. The hotel gives a breakfast every morning. It's really good and is better than walking to other eating establishments nearby. On that note, there are excellent eating establishments near the hotel. I rented a... More

As a business traveler, comfort is not always my top priority. Rather, amenities like fast wireless and great customer service come to the forefront during business trips -- and this is where Best Western Plus in Boulder really shines. The staff is incredibly friendly and jovial, which makes me believe that this company cares about its employees enough to make... More

I stayed for 3 nights at the Best Western Plus Boulder Inn, and it was a great experience. I checked on-line prices for 3 nights and then called the hotel, and was told about a 3-night special it was offering that wasn't on on-line sites. Got a king bed suite for $89.95 a night! The room was very large and... More

Walkable to campus, which is the major plus. We used it during a visit to CU. Clean and pleasant, but definitely a motel. Included breakfast was OK. Located right by freeway. The staff were helpful with directions and maps. Reasonable cost per night.

Our room was large and comfortable. The king size bed was huge and also very comfortable. Everything was clean and sparkly. The heated outdoor pool (in April) was inviting but we didn't have enough time at this hotel to use it. We didn't have the breakfast but it looked ok. My only complaint is the .50 bottles of water that... More
