It's obvious owners/managers don't care how this place looks and aren't going to put any money into.
Pros:

Front desk staff were really nice and accommodating.

Cons:

Truly a disappointment from The Broker years ago. Very outdated furnishings that just aren't functional anymore ie: armoire with tv in it. Layout of the room is bad. All repairs done in bathroom were very noticeable. Tile needs recaulking. Mold and mildew on bathroom ceiling. They lock up the lobby from 11:00PM TO 7:00AM so you have to walk all around the outside of the building to get to your car.

Frustration with the entire situation
Pros:

Building is old and run down ! Took a few attempts to find a suitable room. Greeted by a very unfriendly employee at check in. Clearly didn't like his job.

Cons:

The entire situation !!

It worked for what I needed.
Pros:

The location was great as I was attending event at Williams Village on CU's campus which was a short walk away. The staff was great, very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The decor is dated. The furniture and everything worked, just dated. It's kind of fun but I couldn't help but wonder how old that carpet was. Looking behind the nightstand, I could imagine a family of mice finding it quite comfortable.

Pros:

The staff was friendly!

Cons:

The third floor was horrible. As soon as you step off the elevator, you're met with a cloud of cigarette smoke and overflowing trash in the hallway. Once I entered the room, I was greeted with a piece of the wall on the ground and an outlet hanging out of the wall. The bathroom was dirty. There was hair in the bathtub, the toilet was not working, there were tiles missing from the walls, and the cabinets had holes in them!
The mattress was not a normal hotel mattress. It was old and yellow. The bed frame was weak, and the headboard was dirty. There were mirrors all over the room that were dirty or covered in paint. The AC was running but not pushing out cold air. The room was HOT!

Fabulous location, great staff, great stay, will stay here again!
Pros:

We chose this property because of its proximity to Will Vill and our daughter. The staff we encountered were great!

Cons:

The beds weren’t the most comfortable, but I’ve certainly slept on worse! The room did have a bit of an odd smell, got sort of used to it by day 2. We just chalked it up to the age and the fact that the carpet probably hasn’t been replaced in a while. Again, both of these things wouldn’t keep me from staying there again. It’s an older property in a college town. My college town had one of these as well and it was favored by many people.

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.
