Top hotels in Central Boulder
Hotel Boulderado
"Super cool. I was bummed that the newer rooms have less "character" than the older rooms. Also, we were never able to connect our computer to the tv due to a bad internet connection. And, the air conditioning was either too hot or too cold...we could never get the right temperature in the room."

"I was very pleased with everything, as evidenced by my rating; with one exception. I did not like the fact that the window shade could not be up and open at all times. This was because hotel rooms across from our room looked right into our room. No privacy!"
