Really liked the location and parking at Limelight Boulder. We liked the health club and loved the pool and jacuzzi. Two things were terrible. The restaurant had food which was terrible. Everything was cold and it all tasted as if it was heated up. We really wanted to leave and send the food back but the waiter was no where to be found. Lastly, the rooms were comfortable but the shower was terrible. The shower head had the pressure of a gallon milk jug with holes and you couldn’t even stand under the water because the bath nozzle stuck way out in the tub. The desk claimed they were working to correct the issue.
Nice clean room with great views
View from our room was impressive
Terrible food and service at the restaurant. Would never, ever eat there again
Absolutely no pressure in the shower. Can’t get under the water because the tub faucet sticks out. Also, a poorly designed shower which doesn’t keep water from flower all over the bathroom. We used all the towels to dry the floors.

This was one of the best hotels that i have ever stayed in. Everything, from the lobby, elevators, hallways, and room were spotless. Every single employee was friendly and attentive. I have worked in the hospitality industry for the past 20 yrs and have traveled a ton. Limelight is in the heart of campus, and during homecoming weekend they were slammed. The level of service that they provided was outstanding from check in to check out!
