    (Same review that I posted on Maps). Not sure why this hotel has such bad reviews. Sure, it is a bit dated but my room was perfectly fine, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean with good water pressure. The location is ideal and a big supermarket is literally just around the corner. Breakfast was included. Plus, it was much cheaper than any other hotels in Boulder. Would totally recommend.

    Everything. The location was perfect. Such lovely autumn colours while we were there and so peaceful and relaxing. The cottage itself had everything we needed and more. beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, good storage and a great verandah for relaxing in. We loved the general store and the great restaurant and bar.

    The location was ideal. The room was spacious and bed comfortable. Breakfast was eclectic and all personal preferences were kindly met. The personal attention given by the staff was impressive and appreciated. The large lounge area was a big plus, particularly the snug seating in the library area. Computer and printing availability was useful.

    Great location, excellent price, very nice large room. Breakfast was enough for the price - cereal, yogurt, fruit and fruit juice, coffee, bagels etc but no warm option. It's the cheapest hotel I could find in Boulder and can recommend it. I would stay there again. The pool is great and gym adequate.

    * Room with a lot of space, very clean. Especially thought the desk/dinner table setup was nice. * Bottle filling station * Room was ready well before official check-in time (we arrived at 11:00, and had given notice about this in advance) * Staff was helpful and well organised when we wanted to leave our bags for a few hours at the end of our stay. * Breakfast was good with plenty of choices * Location was good, within 20 min walk of downtown Boulder, CU Boulder campus, and with some more shopping/lunch even closer by.
