“What strikes me is the unbeatable location, steps from downtown and the Flatirons, with parking adding unexpected value; for unfussy travellers, the outdoor pool seals the deal. While rooms are basic, the friendly staff and pet-friendly policy make this a practical choice, especially given Boulder's pricing. It's a solid base for exploring the city.”
