Based on some Trip Advisor reviews as well as a university rate, we booked a room here for a 4 night stay in Boulder. I'll just break it down to keep things simple:

Cleanliness - 3/5 There was a cigarette butt in our toilet when we checked in. Everything else seemed relatively clean. Sheets and pillows were old, but clean.

Comfort - 2/5 The heater blows air directly at bed/face level and much too close for comfort. It was very hard to regulate the temperature in the room. Also, the "queen size" beds which the owners swear are indeed queen size, are not the same size as my queen size bed at home. Maybe in 1950 these were queens, but they are not anymore. They are Full at best. Pillows were clumpy and hard and probably from 1950 too. To settle this discrepancy, maybe the owners could take picture with a tape measure!

Noise - We didn't experience a problem from noisy people, tvs, or voices but the hotel itself is noisy - creaks, squeaks, and garbage trucks. We were woken up at 1AM when a late check in arrived in the room above us. But, to be fair, the guest wasn't loud - the floors were. Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, and then finally quiet.. .only to be interrupted again at 6AM with a garbage truck followed 15 minutes later by the recycling truck. This happened on our 3rd night and was the last straw. After not getting one really good night's sleep, we checked out and changed hotels for our last night.

Convenience - 4/5 Walking distance to the campus, Pearl Street, and Boulder Creek. But, if you have a car, parking is plentiful - stay somewhere else. Rates are some of the cheapest for a downtown location, but for us, the savings wasn't worth the other hassles.

We moved to the Best Western Boulder at 28th & Baseline. The price was the same and the king bed was HUGE! It was also relatively quiet and provided 4 pillows for us to choose from. I'd definitely stay there again.

Stayed here on business because this was the only place that had rooms at my employer's per diem rate. The hotel has been updated and looks nice enough for an old-fashioned motor court type motel. It was basic but clean. The front desk staff was pleasant.

However: The wall, and floors are paper thin and this hotel seems to be a gathering point for young people and their sweeties. When the couple in the room above me began to engage in vigorous amorous activity, I was horrified to find that I could hear all of it quite clearly. I might as well have been in the room - there was so little privacy. When they finally collapsed into an exhausted slumber, somebody in another room started in. Slightly less audible, but definitely noticeable.

I fled the next morning. I've stayed in some pretty sketchy places but never anything quite as bad as this.

The pluses for this Motel are: walking distance to the Pearl Street shops and restaurants, a coin laundry, continetal breakfast and fee internet in the lobby. The natural food store across the street also had good take out items. The minuses are many. Exterior corridors. Be sure to present your AAA card as soon as you walk in the door or you won't get the discount. The first night we stayed May 13 was sleepless due to loud foul mouthed college students talking right outside our door at 1100pm then 230 am then 330 am. Called the "24" hour staffed front desk, no answer. Insist on a top floor. The floors are very squeeky. The room itself was on the small side and the bathroom was very small, shower also small. We paid $107 with the AAA discount this was May 13 - 15. Overall a very good location, but a very average MOTEL.

This is an older property - a two story, exterior corridor place probably built in the 60's so don't expect a state of the art property. But it was very clean, had wireless internet and was walking distance to everything downtown on Pearl Street and adjacent to the University. We got a room that faced the back of the property, so it was a bit quieter. The front desk staff was great and quick to try to remedy any situation - we had trouble connecting to the internet at first and they were great resolving it. Bed was very comfortable. Only had a shower. It's a "green" town, so lots of environment friendly things - like liqiud soap and lotion dispensers as opposed to individual bars/bottles.
