I was happy to have this more affordable option in the area, and it was about as expected. Still pricey, but you are paying for the location. Pros: Available and helpful staff, coffee in lobby in the morning, free parking, no theft or other problems. Cons: No door safety latch or in-room safe, cheap shower head, non-functioning coffee maker in room, very basic. I would stay again if I were visiting the downtown Boulder area because it really is the most affordable option and I got a good night's sleep all three nights with no major issues.
