Hey Alexander!Unfortunately, our procedures and policies regarding time are WELL-documented, and sent out through reservation confirmation. If you'd read any of the documentation provided, or responded to our courtesy call(which are placed daily to ensure that people have every chance to understand), you'd have been informed of the way things work here. I'm sorry to hear that you're in such a state as to try and bruise my business's reputation based on your own error. 0/5 stars. Terrible guest.

I reserved this place for our anniversary and my wife was so pleases with the place. She spent the first half of the week at a Hyatt Regency in Denver before I joined her in Colorado. Then we went into the mountains to Boulder Creek Lodge. She was very happy with the cleanliness of our room, the lodge atmosphere, and the sound of the creek at night when we slept with the windows open. The staff was very friendly and helpful in giving us tips where to get good food and other things to do in the area. We enjoyed our time.

The boulder creek lodge, is part of an entire community that rings a bell of bygone era. Something that we all need in our lives. A town centered around community, artistic expression, local business and kindness. If you’re looking for a cozy, lodge style feel this is your place. It’s something you just need to experience. Even when a small issue arrives the staff is quick to address it, and make the moment right. A lobby with games and comfy couches and a fireplace. It’s really for everything! Housekeeping is very friendly as well as all staff. If you are looking for somewhere to stay. This is your place.

Hey Lacey, we have plenty to do besides sit and wait to see if someone wants to come make a complaint to us.There is WELL displayed documentation on the desk at all times, informing you on how to reach the desk agent, I'm sorry you seemed to have trouble reading a sign.Breakfast comes on the weekend, and everyone is well-accustomed to this rule by now. I know for a fact that you weren't told this, as my crew is dynamite(as explained by the wall of positive experiences preceding your complaint), and stick to their tasks assigned.I normally hate to invalidate a guest's shared experience, but with all due respect; yours is invalid to me.I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your room and our town, have a nice day!

This is a sweet little property for a quick stay. Convenient to skiing and gambling. Reason I gave low marks for staff is last time I was there the breakfast was not available. (it was New Years Day - but still if advertised it should have been available). Also, the staff didn't really seem to want to get off their chairs to see about laying anything out. I think, being the Holiday, it was 2nd string.
Response from Lexi~Hotel Manager on 21 Feb 2024
Hi Forrest!Unfortunately, it seems you missed out on breakfast because you were traveling on the weekdays, and we have our staff inform the guests that breakfast is a weekend-only commodity! Unfortunately the holiday was on a Monday, but we were simply abiding our normal policies.I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay otherwise though, maybe we'll see you some weekend soon!

For the most part, it’s a cute lodge. For some reason we thought there was a hot tub, and there most definitely is not. We also asked about breakfast and the front desk said there was nothing besides coffee. So early in the morning we got up and there was no coffee and then when we came back from getting breakfast, sure enough there was a little breakfast at the hotel. I’m not sure why the front desk doesn’t know what is going on. Nederland is very small and this is in the center walkable to everything in town. Comfortable enough beds. Can control heat which is nice. They have games in the little upstairs lounge area.

Hey Rishi!I wasn't able to find your reservation in our systems, so I was unable to determine the details about your stay.The hotel opens at 8am, and breakfast is only on the weekends(my staff would be in trouble if they allowed you to eat breakfast on the week days).Next time you stay, we should conversate about the many places to grab coffee and breakfast in Nederland!

We got to check in early around 2. Some of the staff was helpful and the lodge is very convenient to town. I checked our bed before I got in it. It’s just something I do when staying at a hotel. Our bed was clearly dirty with a stain and crumbs in it. The bedroom and bathroom floors were dirty. I asked for clean sheets to make up our bed. I didn’t even get a sorry or can I help. It was okay though I could easily make the bed up. One other thing I was quoted 220.00 for the cheapest room then found online for a little less so I booked it. Then when we checked in the room rate said 158.00?!? I was not very happy about that. Oh well we got a couple of hot showers anyways and very convenient to town since we were on foot:)

Hello Lani!I went to try and get to the bottom of this, but it doesn't seem that you stayed with us, based upon my log of guests here, there hasn't been a Lani in the past week unfortunately. To answer to your pricing issue, you'll always find a better price through a third party like expedia instead of going directly to the hotel, that's just how hotels work.That being said, the room status you've reported is unacceptable. Again, I'd like to get to the bottom of it, but you don't appear to have stayed with us.Thanks, and have a nice day!

Hey Robert!Unfortunately, it seems you've fallen into the projected 20% of people that can't be pleased!There are plenty of restaurants in town that serve breakfast, and we like to keep a good business relationship with our friends around town.As for the marijuana smell, we have strategically positioned air fresheners, it's difficult to mitigate beyond that, in a town that has weed dispensaries the way other towns have Starbucks.Perhaps Estes or CO Spirings would be a good fit for you, as they don't have as much marijuana in their town.Warm Regards!

Overall, we were happy the room accommodated all five of us with each of the kids having their own bed. The mattress was les than comfortable as with the pillows.

We had hoped to use this as our base every Friday during ski season, however our first stay this weekend has us rethinking and we will likely just make the drive every Saturday morning. It started out good aside from the overwhelming marijuana smells (so much so that my 6 year old asked to open the windows); nice rooms, clean, good location. However, when I got up the next morning to pack up and get to the slopes with my kids, it had snowed a foot and the property did not shovel any of the walkways (and driving home later that day it still had not been done making this property inaccessible to anyone with ADA needs). Then I got locked out of the building (not realizing the main reception would be locked at 7a) and when I called the number posted, I was met by a rude reception from "Lexi" the apparent manager who proceeded to say F**k you as he was getting me a new key. We'll be cancelling our future reservations :(
