Stayed here for two nights and had a nice time. The hotel as a nice, funky vibe, with many of the rooms overlooking a central space that has a restaurant with live music playing in the evening, a beautiful pool and sauna, and mini rock climbing. (Try to get one of those rooms).

The whole hotel has a fun atmosphere that lets you know it isn't your typical hotel.

And the bed happened to be very comfortable as well...

Saturday, we went to the Arizona vs. Colorado basketball game at the Coors Event Center in Boulder, CO. We stayed at the Boulder Outlook Hotel across 28th Street (CO Hwy 36) from the Event Center. It was great, we didn't have to mess with event center parking since it is only a two block walk from the hotel. We didn't even have to contend with vehicle traffic because of the walking path that goes from the hotel, under the highway, to the event center. The hotel was spotless and quiet, we stayed on the second floor, our window facing south. The room was large and spacious. The bathroom was nicely tiled and the shower worked perfectly. The king bed and pillows were very comfortable. The room was clean and well appointed, with lots of space. We had made reservations and everything was in order as we have come to expect with this hotel. The "Blues and Greens" restaurant had live entertainment, a blues band, The Young Austin Band from Colorado Springs. The food, burgers, was tasty and the entertainment was top notch, there wasn't a cover on this night.
This hotel is a great place to stay, they even have FREE bicycle rentals, Boulder has many bike paths! It is our first choice when we stay in Boulder. This hotel is the most eco-friendly place to stay.

We only got to stay one night at the Outlook Hotel but we enjoyed it very much. The room was as comfortable as any hotel in this price range (very reasonable). The staff went out of their way to accommodate us, even gave us an upgrade because they were not full. The pool was great and warm. The hot tub was hot, not always the case in many hotels. We danced in the bar with a decent band in the evening. Breakfast had many choices for a complimentary breakfast. In short a good place to stay in Boulder, though you would need a car if you want to see the sights.

Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed my stay at Boulder Outlook, and applaud the hoteliers' efforts to create a unique, very eco-friendly lodging destination and experience, but truth (as I see it) be told, to really pull it off they will need more capital, so as to be able to give the 60'/70's era buildings that make up the property the major refurbishment that they really need. The post modern paint job and other surface cosmetic touches beg for a more thoroughgoing overhaul.

A great touch, for example, is that the chair for lounging in my room is a recliner - the irony is that it is broken, and so, doesn't recline. The belgian waffle maker in the restaurant where the free breakfast is served is another great touch, and yet its timer wasn't working properly, and so, I had to guess at whether or not the required two and one half minutes to bake my waffle just right had passed.

My king bed was very comfortable, and the fitness room had the equipment I needed for my workout. Similarly, the indoor pool and hot tub were great. The best attributes of all were the friendly and helpful front desk clerk and the breat taking view of the sunrise striking the mountains right outside the hotel's front door. As such, I wish the money to totally redo the decor and the fixtures was in hand for these owners - as I know they would put it to good use.
