    Columbine Lodge entrance
    Danielle F.

    Solo visitor from 10/29-11/3/2024 staying in the Columbine Lodge. I had a lovely, but tight, room and the accommodations were rustic, clean, and functional. This is a great place to unplug and enjoy your natural surroundings. Rooms do not have phones or televisions. I planned to watch some Netflix on my iPad, but even that was difficult with the WiFi. It's okay -- that wasn't the point of the trip. I appreciate the susty commitment of the place, but it fell short on a couple fronts. They provide you with plates and cups and silverware. They provide you with dish soap. They didn't provide me with a sponge or drying rack. How am I supposed to wash my dishes? Lots of warm blankets on the bed, tepid water in the shower. Also, I made my reservation many months in advance and when they started running a promotion for stays during my window they (at first) refused to honor the discounted price. I did eventually convince the manager to give me a nominal discount, but it's the principle of the thing. Overall, a nice place to unwind that isn't about frills and luxury with great proximity to downtown Boulder and trails. If you're there to relax, hike, and enjoy some peace and quiet this is a great place to stay.

    A truly special place with one-of-a-kind amenities -- the Flatirons. What more could you possibly need or want? I visited for four days and three nights for a work retreat, and we'd all come again. The experience of doing things solo was equally good as doing things as a big group. So many things to mention about this place! Accommodations: The cabins where we stayed are so cute and come in various sizes. I got a cozy one-bedroom with a front porch *and* a screened-in front porch with plenty of furnishings. A co-worker, meanwhile, had a much larger cabin with two bedrooms, double sinks, clawfoot tub and washer and dryer! Visiting as a group: This is truly a great spot for any large occasion you might have (think: work retreat, family reunion, girls trip, etc). The dining hall was more than accommodating to our large group. We had multiple meals outside, and the food is outstanding -- we all agreed "dining hall" gave off more of a college/mall caf vibe so was unsure what to expect at first. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner (on different days) and each experience was great. The grounds: What more can I say? You could literally spends days and days and probably not cover it all. Chautauqua also has daily activities and we participated in a group mindfulness experience in the morning (open to all) before we were led on a private hike. There are a lot of people -- both who stay in Chautauqua and those who visit so some of the trails do get busy, but all pretty well maintained. The staff were awesome. Everyone we interacted with was warm and friendly. Don't miss the general store, which carries lots of souvenirs to take back home and also has ice cream and food. If you're staying overnight, you get 10% both at the store and dining hall! And if you're not from the area, the altitude can really sneak up on you so take it easy!

    Cozy cottage!

    We had a wonderful two night stay here. The cottage was super clean, comfy and quiet. The grounds were beautiful and amazing hiking trailheads were right at the property. The food was excellent and service was attentive and friendly. Couldn't ask for a better stay.

    Cabin kitchen. Check out the funky frig!

    Total throwback to the way Boulder was when I grew up here in the 70s-80s. Super cute cabins with screened in front porches, completely equipped little kitchens and a super comfortable wrought iron bed. The trails to the park are a few steps away, and you can bring your four legged friends! I'll be back, for sure!!

We drove thirty minutes to boulder and she had the alpine massage which she raved about and loved but I had the mountain lavender massage and it was average at best. We had called the day prior to reserve the crystal mat for me and when I arrived they didn't have it. The lady doing my massage went out from the room, went to talk to some people and then came back and told me it was "in use". She then said she'd add on hot stones at no charge. They also cut my massage short as a result of it and yes we were about 4-5 minutes late but they were a bit disorganized. I paid for a 50 minute and really only got about a 30-35 minute and it wasn't all my fault. My therapist was alright but flustered and didn't ask me about pressure etc. It felt very rushed and I wasn't relaxed so for the price I paid I was honestly was pretty unhappy about it. Facilities were nice though- there is a sauna and steam room and you do get to use the hotel jacuzzi and pool. Again, to that add however the facilities were being taken up by a large bridal shower group and they were using all of the two personal change rooms and get ready space. It was very inconvenient to say the least and for someone paying, it felt like I was overlooked and maybe even a little in the way. I wouldn't be back based on the experience, for such a high end price tag I really felt service and experience would have been better. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend either.

The rooms are very ordinary, not as they appear when you are booking. It's also in a great location--very close to the University of Colorado Boulder and walkable to a lot of shops and restaurants. The lobby is definitely the highlight--absolutely beautiful with intricate details, a vintage glass ceiling, and a grand, elegant feel that gives you a sense of the building's history. Our room was clean, and the bathroom was also well-maintained. The surrounding area felt safe, which we appreciated. That said, the room itself was a bit dark, which seems pretty typical for many American hotels. The biggest downside for us was the required valet parking. It meant we never really had easy access to our car unless we wanted to go through the hassle of requesting it every time. Because of that, we ended up just using Uber the whole stay. Personally, I would much rather just pay to park and have direct access to my own vehicle. To be fair, the valet staff were always very friendly and welcoming whenever we came and went. We also ran into some minor inconveniences--there didn't seem to be enough robes, towels, or washcloths available during our stay. Overall, it was fine for a short visit. The lobby is stunning and the location is excellent, but the valet situation alone would make me choose somewhere else next time.

So as far as location goes, this was great. I thought this hotel to be very clean and well kept. It has updated, modern decor (especially the lobby with funky furniture, CO-themed climbing ropes, hanging swings, etc). Plus their outdoor patio space adjacent to the lobby is very welcoming, with fire pits and plenty of seating. Room itself was nice and spacious. Again, certainly updated in terms of furniture, fun wall air, and decor. Comfy beds/bedding, bathroom was nice, and the tv had tons of streaming options. The elevator here could probably use a tune up, but besides that everything about our stay was seamless. I wouldn't hesitate to return here for a future stay.

The hotel lobby appears recently remodeled and has lots of space for seating. The outdoor patio is even bigger, with fire pits, and tons of room for sitting al fresco. Near the front desk is a grab and go store with various snacks, drinks, toiletries, medicine, etc. Rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. WiFi was efficient. The shower pressure was like getting hit by Niagara Falls and honestly I'm here for it! Only drawback for me was the loud air conditioning when it kicked in. Like, you had to increase the volume on the television, and then lower the volume when it stopped. I didn't take advantage of the amenities (pool, dining, gym) due to my work schedule. However we did hang out by the fire pits and these are a nice touch. Now, one of them wasn't working and the other was going in and out, but the fact they had them was a win. Personally not a fan of the parking situation underneath the hotel. It shares a lot with the other hotels and businesses, and the parking spaces are way too tight. Parking isn't included and charged to your room upon checkout. Pros are free coffee in the lobby, walking distance to The Buff and Twenty Ninth Street Mall, and overall an engaging staff willing to accommodate your needs. Would suggest this hotel for friends staying in Boulder!

For me, I should have read the small print! $$ First of all... The young lady at the front desk had to deal with me after I had not slept for 36 hours, I have to give her a very high rating for fixing my reservation and allowing me to sleep in one of the cabin room for one night instead of on a hostel cot in a unit with five other people. I did go out and make a reservation at a different establishment for the other two nights that I was going to stay in Boulder. Second of all, I just needed to sleep... So this was a perfect place to lay my head until the morning. The three stars is definitely for the staff as they were very kind and very accommodating. I don't know how to rate the room itself. The railing that led to my room was rickety so I did not use it to climb the stairs that were also questionable. The room itself and the bed and linen were clean, but the floor of the tub was so brown that I could not take a shower in it. The TV did not work, and there was no air-conditioning. They did supply a box fan, which I set up in front of the TV (that was not functional) and slept with the fan blowing on me all night. Yes, I was in Colorado, but during the summer it's as warm as Georgia! For those of you who hate your phone, this is the perfect place for you as there is NO... And I mean zero... Cell service. The bright side is, is that they do provide Wi-Fi So there you have it! Enjoy life, make lots of memories, and safe travels

    Modern venue with great vibe steps from CU Boulder Campus…read more We were thrilled with our stay at Moxy Boulder. Cozy rooms with enough space for bed, small desk and shower-only bath. HVAC controls worked well. Comfortable bed. Only nitpick on physical plant is low water pressure for the shower and overly finicky control for shower temperature. Front of house team was gracious, from reception to food/beverage team. The common space around the bar is well used and we enjoyed that there were often students studying together at some of the tables. Main floor/lobby area flows nicely and is open and spacious. The side of the bar that opens onto the large patio has a wall that retracts entirely, making the transition from indoor to outdoor smooth. Radiant heat on the outdoor portion of the patio makes the space comfortable even in cooler temperatures. Moxy Boulder is steps away from the CU campus and only a 20 minute walk to Pearl Street. We were at the Flatirons 1 & 2/Flatirons Loop roughly 25 minutes walk from the hotel. We are looking forward to our next stay.

The only option we saw for parking was to use their valet service for an extra nightly charge which isn't ideal for those who want to keep costs low. The staff was incredibly friendly and the bar in the main lobby was well stocked with a small menu of curated (and expensive) cocktails many of which are very gin or bourbon based. The rooms themselves are incredibly tiny (think dorm room sized) with beds no larger than a queen. Additionally they have common area closets where you need to go for extra amenities such as lotion or extra pillows. Overall I don't mind the smaller more communal style experience but the cost should match and unfortunately it does not here, but if you want to stay in the heart of the campus this is a good choice.

Board games and books were available for use. Bicycles were available to rent for $5 an hour but it was raining so we didn't use them. There was no shortage of blankets or pillows. We burrowed under them and slept deeply. Complimentary breakfast was served until 9am and the offerings were delicious: coffee, juices (orange, apple, cranberry), milk (dairy, soy, almond). Bagels and English Muffins with butter, jelly, peanut butter and cream cheese. Four kinds of cereals (including Cinnamon Toast Crunch, my fave). Oatmeal. Fruit and hard boiled eggs. Postcards, hats, posters and mugs were available for purchase. I bought a postcard to send to my daughter in Nebraska. Jess offered to stamp and mail it for me!

I was attending a conference in downtown Boulder, but looking for inexpensive, yet safe, accommodation. The reviews for Boulder University Inn were remarkably good for the price point, so I booked. When we arrived, I was a bit skeptical given the outside appearance. It looked like an old motel. Checking in at the front desk was easy and pleasant enough. It felt like a small, old school motel, which was different than the big hotel chains I'm used to, but it had its own kind of charm. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable. The real charm came from the service though. Samantha was at the front desk and when my sister and I asked about the safety of the area (in terms of walking to Downtown Boulder and back, possibly at night), she gave us great info and made us feel comfortable. Beyond giving us a quick lay of the land, we were extremely thirsty after a long walk and she was so kind as to offer us some extra complimentary waters. This was a small thing, but sets a small hotel apart from the big chains where no one has the autonomy to make someone's day with a little kindness. Overall, an affordable, safe, and decent hotel in Boulder that I'd definitely return to in the future!

The lamp and clock on the chipped and stained nightstand were completely crooked which was odd. We thought for a moment that we walked into the wrong room. This $300 stay was in a room that can be seen at a $120 La Quinta Inn. I travel for a living and am in roughly 30+ hotels a year. I was thankful though that the bed and pillows were comfortable enough to sleep well in. The towels are rough and cheap or old maybe? The bathroom counter needed repair. Just overall not good. Upon first arrival to the inn we walked in to be greeted by one in tact and one half eaten small muffin on the food bar which I guess was the snack offering as it was on a little service dish not an individuals plate. Super uninviting. The parking was great though and appreciated. We did enjoy the Great Room a little while during our stay which was cozy. When we got back from our dinner on Friday evening just before 9pm we wanted a cup of hot tea for bed and there was no longer any hot water on the beverage bar. What a disappointment. I will also say the tea choices were worse than that at a Hampton Inn. Very basic and not even close to even what a mid level hotel offers. The breakfast was nice. Quiche looked amazing but by the time we came down to eat at 9:45 which I understand is 15 minutes before it ended - the warmer was off and the quiche was cold. We did grab a muffin which tasted like it was from Safeway or Costco but it helped as we were hungry. Instead we had to eat a light bite across the street at the cafe. Another disappointment. Overall what could and should have been a really special experience felt like a run down room with a mediocre breakfast experience. I came with my adult daughter to celebrate her 26th birthday and I have to be honest and say that I felt terrible that I chose this inn. We made the best of it and really enjoyed our time together just the same because after all that is what mattered most.
