This hotel is a great choice if you want to be within a short drive of everything Boulder has to offer but not within walking distance of anything. The immediate vicinity is all small corporate properties. Rooms are standard Residence Inn, and beds are very comfortable. Light sleepers should opt for upstairs rooms away from the highway, but the ventilation system fan will block out noise in any case.

The staff members treated me right from check in to check out. I was there for about ten days for a family occasion, and they really made me feel at home. Highlights: the manager and assistant manager were beyond friendly, front desk staff (especially April and Jackie . . . hope I have the names right) were invariably pleasant and helpful, and Charlie of the maintenance crew grabbed my bags and hauled them upstairs for me. A special shout out to Pedro. Every morning, this smiling gentleman started everyone's day off right with a warm welcome and a sincere "good morning" in the breakfast room. I felt like a valued guest.

The breakfasts were surprisingly good, not just the continental fare offered at many other mid-range properties. Delicious scrambled eggs, wedge potatoes, hard boiled eggs, bagels, muffins, toast, small pastries, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, apple or orange juice, fresh waffles, cold cereals and hot coffee were offered daily from about 6:30 to 9:00 a.m. One suggestion: lose the sausage patties. They're a weak spot on the menu and not very good.

Other observations:
Pet friendly property if you're so inclined
Pool is very small and outdoors
Some outdoor seating if you want to grill or chill out
They will shop for groceries for you ( units have kitchens)
I would go back there as long as I had a car at my disposal. Nice folks, reliable property.

Our stay at the Residence Inn was wonderful from beginning to end. The front desk staff was efficient, friendly and helpful. There were always two to three people behind the front desk so we received prompt personal attention each time we had questions. We stayed in a king studio room which was perfect for two adults. It had a kitchen with granite counter tops and full size appliances. The sitting area had just the right amount of furniture and the bed was comfy. The room was spotlessly clean. Bravo to the cleaning staff. The room was quiet except when the air conditioning came on and sounded like a wind tunnel. We enjoyed the amazing bike paths in Boulder on the bikes provided by the hotel. They were cruisers so they were not so great going up hills but they were a comfortable ride for most of the places we traveled. The social hours with food were a nice bonus and the breakfast each day was delicious. The breakfast staff was very attentive and restocked often with fresh food. I would definitely recommend this to travelers as a nice alternative to a regular hotel room.

We spent three days in Boulder and stayed here two nights. The location is great and having a two bedroom suite with kitchen was great. We love Residence Inns for travel with our kids. Our room had two floors with a king bedroom/bath and a loft on second floor with a queen bed and bath. Spacious kitchen and living room on first floor. The breakfast was great, lots of healthy options. The front desk crew was always happy to help and smiling. We were a bit disappointed that they has bikes to rent but only for adults, no kids bikes. You can get bike rentals downtown for kids and adults on many street corners though. The bike paths here are extensive and great.
The only negative was at different hours the trains go by and sound their horns. At 6:30 am, this is not desirable, nor at 11:00pm.

We had our entire groom's family stay here for 5 days for his wedding and it was wonderful. The penthouse suites comfortably accomodated very weary travelors (one family from France). The kitchens were great for families with little ones. The efficiency suites were perfect for couples and the handicapped room was terrific for my 83 yr old mother. The complimentary morning breakfasts (superb) and counter cookie jar were hits with everyone. The pool and outdoor areas (firepit, barbecue, comfortable lounge area, basketball court) were very useful for family gatherings or play areas for the children to run. We were so pleased with the staff from the front desk (Cathy, Jon, and Jackie) who helped us immensely to get situated with so many rooms. We were pleased with the daily maid service - they were so flexible and understanding with the crazy schedules.and requests. We could not have asked for a better place to stay and it enhanced our experience that weekend in such a positive way. Thanks Marriott :)
