Comfortable enough for a nice stay in a great location.
We selected University Inn because of its downtown location and parking on the property. The room was perfect for our needs and the staff were pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.
Wonderful location and quiet. Seriously such a great hotel considering how expensive hotels have gotten in Boulder so close to everything you need the staff is always so wonderful. Highly recommend.
Friendly and accommodating staff, very helpful when there was a mixup regarding checkout time with my son. The property was clean, safe, and well maintained.
This is an affordable place to stay close to Pearl Street Mall. Its not luxurious but has everything you need for a good nights rest. The beds are comfortable, the shower has a lot of water pressure and the blackout curtains work great. It should be noted that it is super clean also. We would stay here again.
I felt like this roadside motel is a hidden jewel. I was extremely pleased with how updated and clean my room was. The bathroom was modern, spacious, and clean. I also found the bed to be extremely comfortable. The staff was very friendly during check-in and check-out. I would definitely stay there again. There was also plenty of parking.
Affordable stay near Pearl Street Mall, we walked to all the shops and restaurants. The staff were really kind and helpful. I would pick the corner room.
I don’t think you can find a spot closer to downtown Boulder and the University. We extended our stay from 1 night to 4 and enjoyed evening walks along Boulder Creek, Farmers Market and great dining and entertainment on Pearl St…..all within just a few blocks. The front desk crew was both friendly and full of local intel.
Stay was nice and comfortable. Staff were very helpful. Only issue was that the room could have been cleaned better before I checked in. There was left over clothes under the bed from the previous stay and food left in the mini fridge.
We always enjoy staying at the Boulder University Inn. The staff is super nice, it's very centrally located so you can walk everywhere. It has easy parking - we were even able to park our Uhaul trailer in the parking lot with no problem. And the prices are reasonable compared to other options in Boulder. I would highly recommend it and will stay there again.
