When we entered the hotel we were worried initially by the way the exteriors appeared! But, once we entered the reception the hospitality made us feel warm. The rooms were clean and well maintained. It is a best place to stay for tourists since all places are few minutes walk away. The breakfast was typical. Overall I liked people's attitude... More

My friends and I needed somewhere quick and cheap to stay in Boulder while visiting a friend. I immediately checked Google maps to find hotels with a central location. We didn't want to be too far from the restaurants and bars if we were going to be drinking that night. I checked different reviews, locations and prices and stumbled across... More

This place is very outdated and in bad need of an upgrade. It is close to everything including noise and traffic. Even with all that it would have been OK for an overnight, but the heat in the room will not shut off and the reply I got was turn the air conditioner on, but this just made the heat... More

I attended a conference in Boulder and the organizers recommended the Golden Buff. It was a great choice, the hotel is an older property but very well maintained. The room was large and very comfortable, the bed was great. The hotel breakfast was excellent, even the hotel coffee was good, a rare thing in chain hotels. The hotel is in... More

We stayed here one night and the best part is definately location. It's right next to Colorado U Boulder campus, a huge shopping complex and tons of food and amenities. There's also easy, quick bus access to downtown Boulder. The room was a nice size, with a little sink, fridge and microwave. Overall it was clean, but the towels were... More

Great location in the middle of Boulder, but expect nothing special in this sprawling and somewhat chaotically numbered property. I got a very quiet room in the 300's (room numbers), but since this hotel is on a busy intersection, make sure you check in accordingly. Breakfast was B/W typical, and the additional "beef hash" was not re-filled 30 minutes before... More

This property has the perfect combination of being, just far enough away from the crowded commercialness of Pearl St., but yet not too far. It was a long, ( but do-able) walk, but with the wonderful weather and clean air, it was a pleasure. The lodge itself, is a very well maintained privately owned property, that is cared for by...

A very spacious room with a full size couch, standing mirror, and a big heavy desk that provided a great work area.

This hotel is located next to a shopping mall with plenty of restaurant options, close to the central part of downtown boulder where all the action takes place. The hotel in itself is an excellent motel, with clean and spacious rooms and a decent breakfast. The price is cheap, so you really get a very good value for your dollars.... More
