5/5 Excellent

"Perfect for a quick trip "

A verified traveler stayed at Hyatt Place Boulder/Pearl Street

Posted 1 day ago

5/5 Excellent

"This is my second time staying at the lodge. We truly enjoyed our stay. It was great to only be a few miles out of Boulder and surrounded by such beauty. The drive through the canyon is breathtaking. You arrive at the lodge and it is like stepping back in time to simpler times. The sound of the creak and the smell of campfire. There is a nice pavilion to cookout at. There is an outside area that people gather offen to enjoy music along with a campfire. Outside of the cabins are picnic tables to enjoy the outdoors. Overall a relaxing place from our busy lives."

5/5 Excellent

"Great location and rooms are large with lots of functionality—fridge with icemaker, lots of space, and nice, large-screen television with good streaming apps (and even HDMI ports if desired). Rooms are a bit dated and kind of dark (even if you go around and flip the 5-6 different light switches to on and turn the three lamps). That said, the common areas are very pleasant (pool, breakfast area, outdoor grill and furniture). I have stayed here several times and wouldn’t hesitate to come back! Good value. And location can’t be beat, about a 3-8 minute drive from most everything!"

5/5 Excellent

"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Homewood Suites in Boulder. The location is great with a supermarket and food options right behind the hotel. We loved having a full kitchen and the ability to store groceries and make lunches to take for our full days of hiking and exploring. Pearl Street and Chautauqua Park are within 10-12 minutes away so the location was very convenient to everything in Boulder. The room was clean and spacious and the staff were very helpful with anything we needed. We also used the grill by the pool and they supplied us with grill utensils. Overall we loved the location and setup of the hotel and would recommend it to others and would return if we visit Boulder again. "
