The Boulder Inn is a very unique experience. It feels like you’re stepping into the 50’s, with wood and stained glass. Everyone who worked there was lovely, and there’s a great coffee bar and bar area. The Swim Club is a free pool attached to the hotel with retro vibes. The rooms arent “new” but are clean and accommodating! We loved our stay and will be returning!

Absolutely best location if your college student is moving in at Will Vill! Darley Hall is literally across the street. They can drop in when they need you, even late at night. Super helpful staff!

This property is still a work in progress! The dining and pool area are quite nice now. The wifi is very poor in the back corridor rooms. Some rooms are upgraded, some still have broken windows, chipped tubs, old furniture etc

This is an older building but my room was clean and quiet, and the staff were lovely. It's an unbeatable location if you're visiting a student in Will Vill.

Hoping for Big Things coming soon!
I really want to love this place, but it's not quite there yet. It's such a cool property with good bones and a ton of potential, but needs some further updating. The rooms: Spacious and the AC, while perhaps a little loud, worked great. The bed was new and updated, new comfy linens, nice fluffy towels. The carpet needed an update, and as other noted, there was a small modern coffee maker, but no coffee was provided in-room. It wasn't the cleanest room, but it was definitely the most economical room in walking distance to the campus. We got coupons for free coffees in the Swim Club coffee shop, but despite wandering around for 10 minutes on the Sunday morning of literally CU move-in weekend, we couldn't find anyone to dispense the coffee, so eventually left. Seemed like a good day to have the coffee shop staffed. There were no pics of the pool area on any of the websites, so I didn't know to bring a suit, but some reviews mention it being quite large and cool, so i'm bummed i missed it. The pool table/entertainment area is really cool, but needs music or something? I felt like i wasn't welcome in that space. Pros: the clerk graciously gave us an early check-in which we really appreciated. Parking was free and plentiful. The room was quiet! They've maintained some of the old school broker feeling in the lobby -- that doesn't need updating, it's so cool! If you are familiar with the chain of McMenamins in the northwest, this could be just as fun a draw with a little help!

It was really hot in the room even though the thermostat was at 61. The outlet was falling out of the wall and wiggly. It also smelled really bad in the hallway and elevator. It was clean in the room though nd the bedding was very comfortable

The room & bed were ok. The toilet flusher need repair. There was a coffee Maker & sugar/creamer packets but no actual coffee or tea. There was coffee in the lobby, no tea.
