The Flatirons
Shanna F.

Lovely hotel with a stunning view of the Flatirons. Staff is incredibly accommodating, rooms are very nice, and the adjacent restaurant, Jill's, offers delicious food and attentive servers. We really enjoyed our stay.

Oz was amazing. He made my birthday feel so special and I love the cake overall. Thank you saint Julien!!!

Room service. Hummus platter and I think some sort of salad.

This is a beautiful hotel with an excellent location, easy parking, and superb customer service. We've stayed here a few times this year will keep coming back. As noted, the location couldn't be better - close enough to the flatirons to offer a superior view while also being only a block from the Pearl Street mall and all that if offers. Also, Lolita's is practically right around the corner, so if you need a late night snack, you can get one. There are several businesses contained within this place - Jill's (a restaurant), T-Zero (a bar), and the spa - all are excellent. We've attended each of these components both independent from hotel stays and as a component of one and rarely have been disappointed. I say rarely because yes, mistakes have occasionally been made. However, St. Julien and it's associated businesses know how to make things right and this is key. If they make an error and you are respectful and courteous, they will own it. In my opinion, this is a hallmark of a quality establishment. What else does this place offer? The gym is nice for a hotel gym - bigger than normal and with a reasonable free weight selection to compliment the cardio machines. The pool and hot tub are beautiful, well-maintained, and relaxing. You can order food to be delivered poolside and there is also an attached outdoor seating area. Do take note that if you go outside to this area via the doors from the pool, you must bring your key with you as you will get locked out otherwise. Also, as of the time of this review, the wall clock in the pool area seems to have issues. I'm not sure if I'd trust it. The rooms are comfortable and well-furnished. Streaming services are offered which is wonderful. I have had some issues with volume control being problematic when watching streamers, so keep that in mind. A couple of other quirks are that the in-room coffee machines can be a little tricky to operate - I sometimes have to gently jiggle the water tank to get it to flow - so contact the front desk if you have issues. Also, note that the in room fridges are mini bars, so they are full. i.e. there will be no room for your leftovers. There is a very affordable parking garage below the hotel and an elevator that connects right to it. Couldn't be easier. Valet parking is available if you choose. So what about the associated businesses? T-Zero is staffed by skilled bartenders and the liquor selection is quite good. The Pearl is my favorite in-house specialty drink. Jill's is a quality restaurant. If you order room service, this is where it will come from. However, the restaurant itself is lovely, so I recommend a trip down. The hotel even has a small garden that produces seasonally appropriate fresh ingredients for Jill's which really is a step above. We like this place enough that we brought my family there to eat when they visited and they had a great time. The spa is superb, both in quality of services and amenities. The estheticians are skilled and the atmosphere is entirely pleasant. If you book an appointment, you get access to the spa for the entirety of that day. That means locker rooms, changing rooms, separate rest rooms, steam room, sauna, showers, and the lounge (complete with light snacks, tea, and seasonal fruit infused waters). You also get access to the pool, hot tub, and gym. It's fire, honestly. Just be sure to book in advance as it's a popular place and bookings fill up. You will spend more to come here, but the quality is evident and it's worth it, in my opinion. Staying here is a treat for us on special occasions. We live nearby enough that it's kind of the ultimate stay cation. We do treat the spa as a day spa and visit there more often (you can become a spa member which gives you a discount on services - we did that). Honestly, this place is just worth it. Check it out.

The St Julien is definitely one of my favorite hotels to stay at for a weekend getaway, but this time I received a gift card for the spa services here and decided to give them a try for the first time. The overall hotel is very elegant, but we were a little surprised with the quality of the spa in comparison. It is a very small space, handful of lockers available to place your belongings in and change into your robes. My robe unfortunately had a hole in it and seemed very worn, not what we expected for quality. The steam room and sauna were excellent, however the sauna was also on the smaller side. We were fortunate to attend on a less busy day otherwise it could be difficult to find space to relax. The waiting room (not pictured) for the services was lackluster, with a self serve cart for tea or water. You cannot order any other food or drinks to enjoy within the spa, you must exit the spa and have that order in the Hotel Lobby. Having access to the spa also allows access to the pool and jacuzzi. which we were disappointed with as it is accessed by hotel guests as well and was full of children... which is fine on a regular basis but not cohesive with a relaxing spa experience. Besides some of these items, the actual spa representatives were attentive and very professional. Our services were excellent, and we left the spa feeling refreshed.

A scene from the bar

Hotel: 4 to 5 stars. Event: 3 stars maybe. The hotel is very nice. Friendly staff. Clean updated rooms! Hot water in the room comes out quick and hot! I enjoyed that part of the visit immensely. Wished they had more coffee in the room. The package for News Years Eve was interesting and somewhat disturbing and disappointing for the money spent. Requirement was vaccination card and masks. As the night wore in people stopped wearing masks. I watched an employee who was telling people to wear masks, later went to the bar had shots of some sort of alcohol (multiple times) and stopped telling people to wear their masks. There was a jazz band and someone, I do not know of it was a groupie or a part of the band, went around to everyone with a tip jar! What is that all about. At that point we left and went to our room. The band was very good. But what a disappointment. The food had flavor. Not amazing but had it. Mostly cold or somewhat warm. Great idea. The hotel did hear some of what we said and did not charge us champagne package.

This review is for the spa only. It's always a treat to get a massage at the St Julien, and it better be as it's quite pricey. The staff is professional and the space relaxing. About the massage, my therapist was perfect, applying the right amount of pressure and checking a few times to make sure it worked for me. I also love that the face cradle can be adjusted and the bed bends at the knee, which makes it very comfortable. I don't think I've seen that anywhere else. They are busy, so if you want a specific day and time, it's best to make a reservation a couple weeks in advance. Make sure you come a little early to take advantage of the pool area!

The lobby had a gorgeous, translucent fireplace that gave us a peak into the outdoor gardens.

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.

It's a modern hotel with a large Lobby hang out space which I always appreciate. There is also a really great outdoor space with umbrellas for hot sunny days and string lights to set the vibes for night hangs. It's also in a great location, just a quick 5-10 minute drive to all the happenings on Pearl Street. The room itself was a decent size with double beds, but it didn't feel overly crowded. The beds and bedding were so comfortable after a long day! In the morning there is a buffet style breakfast and complimentary coffee. The coffee was actually so good! Overall, we had a wonderful stay here and it's a great budget-friendly option!

I also liked the lobby where we could all cowork a bit. The average: the cost was manageable for a work trip, but it's still pricey like all things in Boulder. It's the value option but would be a high end price point in a lot of places. Location? Pretty good. Not a walk to the farmers' market or Pearl Street, but certainly very close to many things (including breakfast at The Buff across the street) and a very short drive to many things you'd want to be near. The main issue this time was they only had one working elevator the entire weekend we were here. It's the only way to the parking garage and there were times I was waiting 10-15 minutes per session which was insane. Staff sort of tried to play it off (what are they supposed to do?) but it was a thing. The parking garage was also jam packed on this weekend, which wasn't the case last time. We struggled to find spots multiple times, and if I hadn't committed to already adding the $27 parking fee per day, I might've tried for some street parking to save time and money. It can be very tight turning into it as well. A couple other nice touches: I liked that they had decent coffee available in the lobby during the mornings, and a cold filtered water station. The bar wasn't open which would've been nice as we all unwound after an event, but it is what it is. This one hit most boxes the first time around, but didn't quite pan out perfectly on round two. I'll consider it if traveling to Boulder, but will probably look elsewhere first.

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

This was a charming find on our last-minute stay in Boulder! Nestled at "the foot of the mountain"…read moreis this delightful motel, founded in 1934. 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.
