“the crafty disguise as a students' cove does hide in part the flaws”
if would not be for the high price we payed this motel with its clean and bright room should be a good choice extra features like the common room featuring a large selection of table-games, the outside fire pits and the pool are very captivating as well as the personell but do not completely erase the lack of a real fridge, the unstable toilette seat, the noisy A/C, the smell of the moquette and a bathroom that marks the years restaurants and shops on the main road are not so close

“Good place to stay near downtown”
The room was ok. It is quite old and the bathroom is very small. Common facilities are great and staff were friendly. Location is good.

“Great short stay!”
The location was very convenient, easy walk to downtown boulder and free parking. Also very near a bus stop to/from the Boulder bus station which is convenient if you arrive on the airport bus AB1 as we did. The room was spacious and clean. It is a motel-style room and layout, with free coffee making facilities (and teabags at reception when we asked). The additional amenities were well kept and seemed clean. Unfortunately not enough time to use the sauna and hot tub, but we used the washing facilities on the first night when some sun cream exploded in my suitcase - the lady behind the desk even locked up a little late for me to let the cycle finish. We would stay here again if we come back to Boulder.

The room was very good, this place probably was an old motel but very nicely done up, with nice common areas (small climbing wall, ping pong, terrace with 'camp'fire). Walkable to Pearl Street, but not super close In the summer we stayed at the University Inn, but if we return, I prefer Basecamp
