The Boulder Outlook is a fun experience when visiting the city. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The lobby is colorful and you immediately see a lovely swimming pool and hot tub in the lobby, very inventive and tempting. There is a free delicious daily breakfast included in the affordable rate. I recommend this hotel for fun, affordability, and... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times since my son has been in school at CU. It is really convenient to campus. This is a funky, older non luxury hotel, but it is a great value, considering breakfast is included. It does show signs of wear and tear, but fine for my needs. Music at night is nice too,... More

This hotel is great for kids. A swimming pool, hot tub, playroom, and rocks to climb. My children had a great time exploring the hotel after a day of skiing. The staff is great and this is the most kid friendly hotel we have found yet and for a great price.

I heard that The Outlook is closing down, and CU is expanding into it's space. This made me so sad. The fun and "natural" pool area has been so fun for kids' parties and entertaining out of town guests. This was the hotel that we stayed at when we were looking to move to Boulder. Their "green" and "no waste"... More

Beds rock hard, electric outlets do not work, hair dryer did not work, towel bars fell off wall, breakfast very unsanitary, both saunas not working, workout area smelled disgusting, very noisy. When I reported issues to management, they were unconcerned, no empathy, could not have cared less!! Their brochure said to report problem and they will fix but that certainly... More

When we arrived at the hotel, we thought it was interesting and eclectic. However, upon settling down for the night we discovered that the heater would quit blowing hot air and begin blowing out cold air. Think record lows for winter that night. It was about midnight when I first discovered this, I fiddled around with the thermostat and thought... More

Rooms were dingy, in a "I'm not so sure I want to put my suitcase on the carpet" kind of way. No vents/fans in bathrooms. Breakfast was a joke - in the bar, on the bar, no lighting, so you literally were not sure what you were getting. Did like the in-room recyling.

We recently stayed at the outlook over the Christmas Season. Our stay was less than impressive first of all our bed, Hard as a rock. By far the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. The room appeared in decent condition however did not smell fresh. With Dark lighting felt a little gloomy. We stayed there for three night... More

This hotel is very unique and very "green" in their approach to operations which is very Boulder. The hotel started life as a Holiday Inn many years ago and is a bit tired. The beds are comforatble and the hotel is very clean. The staff is always cheerful and helpful. I spend nights there after enjoying live blues in their... More

So all you GREEN people this is it. You wont find anything that doesnt have a second life here. This hotel is doing what all of us should. Recycling, showing us how no matter where you are in the hotel. Guess what...not that hard. All hotel chains should be doing this and hopefully more of us drag our guilt back... More
