Lovely place for outdoorsy travelers
Pros:

Super cute place. Very low-key and outdoorsy vibe. The staff were super nice, and loved the little bar with tap beers they have, plus outdoor hang-out area with fire pits. And love they have a laundry machine. Bed was comfortable, and the room overall was lovely and clean.

Cons:

Annoying to not have a fridge or microwave in the room.

Displeased and unsatisfied, and not well rested on top of that.
Pros:

The location of the *motel* made it easy to walk around.

Cons:

The rooms had no refrigerator or microwave. The water pressure in our shower was very, very weak. My partner and I tried to share one bed, but it had a huge divot in the middle and made it hard to sleep there without rolling into the middle of the bed like a taco.

Really nice place to stay in Boulder
Pros:

Very convenient to downtown Boulder and CU campus. Lots of useful amenities—laundry, cookies (🙂), and a common area to hang out and enjoy a drink. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was plentiful.

This motel is in a good location and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Pros:

The friendly staff, very clean rooms, and being in a good location added to our positive experience. It was nice and quiet in the evening.

Cons:

There was a steady leak in the sink faucet, and we did report it to the front desk. They offered us a discount, which was kind but not necessary.

Fun vibe, great location, good value.
Pros:

A bit on the funky side, but that’s up front in the descriptions so it works here. Sufficiently comfortable, great location, fun vibe (rec room with climbing wall!) excellent value.

Cons:

Room Facilities are aging and mid-to-low quality - acceptable for modest fare.

Disappointed that I ended up in a Motel 6 with a theme.
Pros:

Location was great. Bed was okay but the quality of the linen was just average.

Cons:

Motel 6 amenities and layout of the room. It was an old motel with some decorative touches. Not at all what I thought it was (that is a decent quality hotel with a fun quirky theme). I didn’t like sub-par bathroom, in-wall ac unit, mediocre quality towels and linen.

Pros:

Stayed there four times now, it’s a great location and I like the convenience.

Cons:

The bathroom and carpet are beginning to show quite a bit of wear. Broken shower rod, dark spots on the walls in the shower that could have been mold. It looks like they have done little to keep up with the traffic moved through these rooms.
