The Boulder Broker

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.)

The staff were terrific. This is an ideal mid-priced hotel particularly if you are planning to stay for more than a night.

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.

This inexpensive hotel is good value, but next time I will pay more to get more. Positives: my room and the premises were very clean, A/C was very quiet, and the floor I was on (4th) was exceptionally quiet (I think I was the only one on the floor). The front desk staff were very friendly. And the hotel is just 100 yards from the famous Kicking Horse bar. (though note: locals tell me this bar is slated to close in the near future). Negatives: I seldom had working wifi, which meant I could not work in my room. The front desk staff acknowledged the problem but offered no solution. There is no breakfast option or restaurant. The room and hallways were perfumed, presumably to cover less pleasant odors. The location only makes sense if you have a car or enjoy long walks. Again, the price was very good, and if price is important to you, then I do recommend this charming, aging hotel.

Run Down Hotel is very run down. Had to change rooms after a day due to the toilet leaking. Shower head were awful. Manager was great- night front desk man was rude.

Convenient location really outdated. They never clean the rooms in the 3 days stay. Very old property, need a facelift urgently.
