The Hilton Garden Inn was surprisingly nice! Maybe my expectations were low or my mind was in other places, but this hotel made for a pleasant 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!

This was one of the few reasonably priced hotels in the area and it ended up being a great option for us! LOCATION Within walking distance to a few restaurants and shops, and a few miles driving to Pearl Street Mall. LOBBY I loved the lobby vibe: bright, lively, and definitely geared towards a Colorado audience with climbing ropes and such for decor! I really like the amount of seating available here, and the variety: couches, tables, swinging chairs, etc. They even have some seating around gas firepits out in the open-air middle area. We had some trouble with the firepits coming on or staying on, but the staff did their best to help us get them working! ROOM The room is spacious! I was a little weirded out by the decor on the walls: drawings of random animals and topics? It was a bit busy for me - not the usual serene, simple hotel room. Great shower and water pressure, with decent quality shampoo/conditioner/soap. The whole bathroom seemed recently updated! The bed and pillows were comfortable. I LOVED that they had an openable window - great for getting fresh air in! Wifi worked well both in the room and the lobby. Overall, a great option in Boulder that won't break the bank!

No room service even if the food is ready to go!

This is the place I usually stay when visiting Boulder this time however there was a distinct lack of amenities in my room, two paper cups and one hot water paper cup, zero toiletries beyond one small bar of soap, our body wash is empty and there's not even a luggage rack to put my suitcase... so we had to fetch plastic cups for things like soaking retainers or having bedside water at night, glassware would have been nice. One major frustration that is not new is the coffee shop has incredibly limited hours and fairly high prices, after 10:30 coffee is unavailable which as a Seattleite I find bizarre, do people here never have coffee with lunch or in the afternoon? On my last night I slept very poorly, the climate control in our room keeps having its settings changed so I had to get up in the middle of the night due to it being 75 degrees in our room (in October) to fiddle with it in the dark even though I had previously set it to auto and was manually lowering it for sleeping and it kept being put back to or reverting to fan. Due to my lack of sleep in this very hot room I decided I was going to order breakfast in except you can't order room service while breakfast is being served in the lobby?? Why?? The food is right there, it's made, I'm exhausted from sleeping 3 hours and willing to pay a premium for you to bring it to me, I see zero reason for the lobby serving food to be a conflict with providing room service, their loss I guess since I won't be ordering breakfast at all now. Overall I found this stay to be more barebones than before and I find the room service issue to be needlessly frustrating. The last issue is they place a card in your room asking you to tip the cleaning service, which I did, but how about you pay your workers fair wages and don't rely on your guests to subsidize low wages? Our room was serviced 3 times over 6 days and much was just making beds and taking out trash, I appreciate that but is that "tip worthy service"? I don't think so but I'm also not willing to leave their cleaning employees high and dry if they pay so little they're forcing them to beg for tips. I think it might be time for me to find an upgrade. I'd still recommend the place but it's just not what I'm personally looking for.

Welcome snacks!

In town for a Boulder wedding, this Hilton Garden Inn was one of a few options that was sent to us by the brides... It's new, conveniently located, moderately priced, and worked out well for our two night stay. It's worth noting that we had no issues at all with friendly service, hot water, water pressure, wifi, room keys working, etc... This hotel also has some complimentary coffee out in the mornings and apples / cookies later in the day. The fitness room is on the small side, but it does the job. I believe that as a hotel guest, you can also get access to the nearby Embassy Suites pool if you request it. This is a solid four star hotel and I would absolutely keep it in mind as an option for future visits to the Boulder area.

See all

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.

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

Jess greeted us cheerfully, honored an online discount (found on their website), and set us up with everything we needed. This was so appreciated, especially on short notice. Everything here is kitsch and cute! The cozy rooms have individual heating and cooling, warm blankets, TV (not that you will want to watch it with the breathtaking views of nature available), mimi fridge, a shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser and makeup remover towelettes, hair dryer and plenty of towels. 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 enjoyed my coffee on a bright red outdoor chair while breathing in crisp mountain air and surveying the beauty around 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.
