Pros:

I have stayed here several times and this was the worst room yet. Very old, uncomfortable bed, and no amenities.
Property is convenient to CU Boulder however.

Pros:

The property appears to have not been updated in 30 years. There was no dining or exercise facilities even though signs on the property claim that they have a restaurant and exercise (swimming) facilities. It was incredibly noisy in the middle of the night with doors slamming and guests arguing in the hallways.

Pros:

I love this old school hotel. It's so interesting and fun compared to bland, so-called "updated" (read soulless and boring) hotels. FYI there's excellent coffee downstairs in the mornings and the rooms are quiet and comfortable. Friendly, interesting staff to talk to. I hope to go back to Boulder so I can stay here again. Thank you so much! (oh and be sure too take advantage of the staff recommendations booklet for places to go in Boulder. Their picks are fantastic. Because of them I went to the Village Coffee Shop (old school diner with amazing homemade food), which blew our minds. So good.)

Pros:

The property looked historical and and you can see that they upgraded a few things. The lobby was very nice and clean and our room was cozy and comfortable. It did need more outlets. They only had French vanilla creamer for the coffee and the restaurant was closed. It was in a nice little area except the shopping center around the corner was somewhat sketchy.

Pros:

No coffeemaker in room,nor hairdryer,nor any plastic cups in bathroom. Took 2 of us to get the tv to function,as the cable had to be propped up. Towel bar in bathroom (next to sink) fell off the wall. What happened to any amenities for the price? This was the 10th and final year of my patronage - it's taken a huge nosedive in the past few years.
