Top University of Colorado Boulder Hotel Reviews

Hotel Boulderado

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome in every way !!!"

Courtyard by Marriott Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"I didn't really find anything negative to say about my stay. I loved being able to see Boulder before the weather sets in."

Boulder University Inn

8/10 Good

"Comfortable enough for a nice stay in a great location."

Hilton Garden Inn Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Comfort, amenities, location, and parking are just a few of the things that can make a hotel stay a great experience. What makes it even better is when the staff feels supported by management, and that support is reflected in the service they provide to guests. That is truly the icing on the cake. Angie was an absolute delight! She was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, communicative, patient, and so much more. She clearly takes pride in her work, does her job exceptionally well, and deserves a raise! When welcoming guests, you never know what someone may be going through or what circumstances have brought them there. Sometimes, a little kindness, patience, and exceptional service can make all the difference. Angie demonstrated exactly that. This is why I would recommend staying here over other nearby hotels. Great amenities are important, but it's the people who make an experience memorable. Thank you again, Angie, and to the rest of the staff working that evening (10-11-2026). Your kindness and hospitality did not go unnoticed!"

Bradley Boulder Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Parking is tight, but otherwise a wonderful stay!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"This was a clean hotel with a great pool and workout facility and a first-rate (hot) breakfast."

Boulder Marriott

8/10 Good

"The suite had plenty of room with the separate living area. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable at all. The bathroom was large with double sinks but had the mirror placed in between the sinks which didn't make sense at all. Other than that we liked the room and it was great for the weekend. The restaurant food was really good also."
