Top Central Boulder Hotel Reviews

The Westin Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful property and the people who work there could not have been more accommodating and kind. Since I am a Marriott Bonvoy member, they upgraded my room to a higher floor with a Lake view. It was just very perfect. Loved my experience there."

Drury Plaza Hotel Denver Westminster

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is very clean and quiet, even though it was fully booked while we were there. Staff is nice, food was good, and parking is free. Nice walking/biking trail next to the hotel, and close to restaurants, shopping, and the major interstates. Never stayed at a Drury property before, but after this great experience, I'll definitely consider it for next time. Management should be proud of how well the hotel is managed and how nicely the customers are served!"

Hotel Boulderado

10/10 Excellent

"Our home internet went down Friday afternoon just before Labor Day weekend. Custumer Service said they could not get a Tech out to fix it until Tuesday due to the holiday. It has already been a stressful week and rather than spend a three-day weekend home with no internet I decided to book a room at a nearby hotel. The Boulderado had last minute availability so we threw some stuff in a bag and drove over. We had never stayed here before but were immediately impressed by how charming yet grand it is. Our room in the new wing was very nice and clean with a large bathroom and sliding door with a Juliette balcony overlooking a quiet courtyard with a fountain. There are lots of really great restaurants nearby but honestly the food and service at both the bar and Spruce restaurant in the hotel was the best! We had brunch and dinner at the Spruce. All of the front desk staff, servers, valets, and maids were so friendly, helpful, and made us feel so welcome. They even invited us back for Christmas! Several friends have said they go all out with really beautiful decorations and traditions. We can't wait to go back again!"

Table Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of everything and very walkable to all of the shops around restaurants. Upon arrival the staff was attentive and friendly, explained all charges and holds associated with the stay. The valet parking is worth every penny with easy in out. If you are in Golden for whatever reason I would highly recommend the hotel. The restaurant onsite was delicious as well"
