When we checked in, the Wi-Fi was out throughout the property. The satellite service was out on our TV, but the manager was able to get it to work for about 5 minutes. My wife tried to take a shower before we went out and there was no hot water in our room. After getting back for the evening, we were given another room, but told to bring the TV remote since the new room didn't have one. The hot water worked in the new room, as did the satellite service. The traffic noise, even in the early morning hours, is unbearable as it's located on a busy street. The staff is nice, and the location is convenient, but the flaws with the property does not compensate for it and it's definitely not worth the money.

We booked two rooms and our family booked two rooms. We rented a large SUV for us all. That is 4 rooms and 1 vehicle to park. The hotel parking lot was full every time we returned in the evening. The staff was extremely rude when I asked why I had 4 rooms and only one vehicle to park and could not park in the front, well lit parking lot. The told me to park in the rear ally that was poorly lit and we witnessed people doing drugs. We had constant smell of marijuana coming the door that connected our room to the next room. I would not stay here ever again!

It was alright
Not the best experience. Of course I had bad timing when I arrived and there was police there with an incident with another customer. The manager was amazing making sure I was comfortable. He deserves so much! The hotel overall though wasn’t the most comfortable or the nicest.

The staff are professional and very helpful. Only sometimes the coffee maker did not function. Please have that fixed quickly. Other than that no concerns. We liked the quiet despite being bang on a busy road. We could do our work peacefully and at walking distance to CU Boulder. Excellent place! Thank you. the rates could be made more affordable for longer stays.

Older motel, sparse room. But location is wonderful. On a busy street but noise was not a problem for us. No housekeeping but easy to get extra towels , etc. Bed was comfortable and free parking was a plus. Would stay here again.
