    Patio seating
    Christine P.

    This hotel just opened up last week. We checked in last night for a two night stay and so far it has been fantastic experience. The hotel is immaculate, the outdoor patio area perfect for tailgating. The staff is super friendly. I'd totally stay here again if I'm ever in the area!

    Recently eloped here in December of 2025. Brides beware... My husband and I toured the hotel as it was being built soon after we booked the lawn for our ceremony last summer. During the tour, there were no umbrellas on the lawn and we expressed how excited we were to elope there because the hotel is pet friendly and provides a beautiful view of the flatirons. Everything seemed perfect until our actual wedding day. There were six ginormous umbrellas that ruined the view of the lawn that could not be removed. We were told during our tour that the lawn would look as it did when we were there viewing the space- with no umbrellas. During the tour, we were told by Colleen F. That they were removable for the ceremony and we would not have to worry about them. Flash forward about six months to our wedding day and the umbrellas were on the lawn, with no notice, and no way to be removed. When we spoke to Colleen hours before our ceremony, she was helpful but ultimately ineffective. The umbrellas remained on the lawn for our ceremony, limiting our space and requiring our photographers to stand in awkward positions in order to hide the umbrellas in the pictures. This put a huge and unnecessary stress on us for our big day and the venue was not delivered as promised. I was so sad to have to worry about avoiding the umbrellas on our big day. Additionally, we felt misled by the Limelight staff because we were shown the lawn in person with no umbrellas and sent pictures of the lawn before and after the tour with no umbrellas. The umbrellas were at least 8 ft tall and extremely difficult to avoid. Luckily, we did not have any guests to seat on the lawn since we booked the space for an elopement. I would not have booked the lawn for our ceremony if I knew the umbrellas were going to be there during our ceremony, obstructing the view of the lawn and our use of the space. Another issue with the umbrellas is that on the day of our ceremony, Colleen told us that the umbrellas were "too heavy" to remove but they had been removed previously for an event. It saddens and frustrates me that the staff did not take the time to ensure the space was umbrella free for our ceremony beforehand. I was not told they would be there and had to find out the day of our wedding. Additionally, in our emails with Colleen F. confirming our rental of the lawn space in months prior to the ceremony, Colleen assured me that we would have the lawn space blocked off from other hotel guests and the public during our ceremony. However, during the ceremony multiple people were able to stroll through the space as the ceremony was actively taking place. Colleen and another staff member were present during the ceremony but did not ask the people walking through to vacate the space or be mindful of the ceremony taking place. I remember being anxious and stressed moments before saying our vows because general hotel guests were roaming through the ceremony space as Colleen F. stood nearby on her phone, instead of reminding hotel guests the lawn was reserved for our ceremony that was actively in progress. Overall, our day was beautiful because we got married! But our expectations of the hotel and use of the lawn for our ceremony left much to be desired as what actually happened did not align with our expectations. I would caution brides against booking here unless the team makes it 100% certain that the lawn umbrellas are removed long before your wedding day. The hotel's response to this issue on our wedding day was extremely undesirable. The staff offered to move patio furniture on the balcony to the side so we could use the space for a first look. While the space was okay, it was not what we booked or expected. The lack of care from the Limelight staff was appalling. As the bride, after months of emailing back and forth with the Limelight staff to plan the event, I was running around stressed hours before the ceremony speaking with team members trying to resolve the umbrella issue when I should've been in the moment enjoying the day!

    Colorado Chautauqua Association - Bandshell on the green for the event

    We had a preplanned excursion in/around Boulder for the wknd. Heard about this venue and checked…read moreout their concert list. Lo and behold, Tab Benoit (a terrific blues singer and guitarist) was performing Saturday night! Although it appeared sold out, we lucked into 6th row, just off center (on the aisle). At just under $70/ticket it was reasonable. Tab and his bandmates (drummer and bassist) put on a nonstop 90 minute show that really highlighted Tab's extraordinary guitar playing. He also crooned a few ballads in his signature raspy voice (though not enough in our opinion)! In terms of living/performing blues artists, Tab is among the elite. Checkout the 3 video snippets for a glimpse at his versatility. The quaint venue is amazing. At over 125 years old, t's officially listed as historic. And, despite being 50+ feet high, it is made almost entirely of red wood. That yields really warm acoustics that never harshly echo. A quick glance at the calendar and it appears there's something going on 5-6 days/week. Lots of free parking, though you might have to walk a bit, and likely uphill. They sell snacks and drinks at the venue (no bringing in your own). All purses do get checked. The concession prices are high ($6-8 for a single can of beer or a vodka-seltzer) but consistent/average for concert venues. Seats are reasonably comfortable (old movie-house-style, fold up/down, lightly padded) with a nifty cupholder on the back of the seat in front of you. Restrooms are off premises - yep, you gotta exit the auditorium and walk about 75 feet to a small structure that houses the men's/women's bathrooms. Your wrist band that you should have received upon entry, gets you back into the auditorium (don't exit without it)! Oh and maybe don't forget your ear protection - I brought some decent small ones from home and was glad I did, seeing how close we were. Upon exiting the venue it is a little dark along the various walkways to your car and your phone can light the path. Things are congested for about 15-20 minutes but it all moves slowly/surely because it's not massive like an arena or stadium. I can see why so many big names come here!

    This review is specifically for the Colorado Music Festival Symphony Orchestra. I have accompanied…read moremy son to three of these performances this summer, and I couldn't be more impressed. I played in wind ensembles and symphony orchestras as a youngster, but definitely fall in the category of amateur, at best. I do love a good night out at the performing arts, though. The orchestra this summer, led by Maestro Peter Oundjian, is exceptional. I can't remember a symphonic performance that was more intricately perfect in ensemble and intonation than the three I have heard this summer. That each individual performer could be put into a large group and perform as one in such an exceptional way is truly awe-inspiring. I'm going to hear the Dvorak tonight, and simply can't wait! For those who don't know, the Colorado Symphony is now fortuitous in being led by Maestro Oundjian, and under his leadership, I can only imagine that the sky is the limit! That said, there is something very special about driving into the Boulder country/mountains to this little auditorium in Chautauqua Park, with exceptional acoustics and an orchestra composed of some of the best musicians from around the country. What an absolute treat! While the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is a national treasure for us in Colorado, I promise you won't miss the traffic and parking fees of downtown Denver!

    Stayed at Hotel Boulderado in Boulder, Colorado and had a mixed experience. The hotel itself is…read morehistoric (over 100 years old), and that shows, particularly in the lobby. 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.

    This is the most amazing place we've ever stayed! You don't even have to leave your hotel…read more Restaurants, cafe, multiple bars in every nook and cranny, comedy shows, live music. We will def be back!!

They host a plethora of events - from baby showers, to weddings, to reunions in addition to the standard CU BUFFS football games! Natalie, Kristi, Marcos and the entire team are phenomenal! Today, visited today for an athletics department tour. For a nominal fee, we were given a behind-the-scenes tour of Folsom Field and the UCHealth Champions Center. We got to see and experience the Ford Practice Facility where the BUFFS football team practices and where CU hosts a number of track and field and other events, the Weight Room - THE BEST WEIGHT ROOM I'VE EVER SEEN as well as team meeting rooms and the Champions Center rooftop! So many behind the scenes places, I don't even remember them all! We saw trophies, and all of the most inspiring quotes from Coach Prime! My husband most enjoyed walking through the tunnel onto the field! Once in a lifetime experience that he will cherish FOREVER! Thank you, Natalie, for making Tim's day so special! When in Boulder, this is a MUST DO! SKO BUFFS! https://cubuffs.evenue.net/

That was 7 days ago and said it would take an additional 14 days to see refunds processed so 6 weeks before an event I was attending, I'm now out $600 for almost a month? Ridiculous.

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.
