The hotel and staff were wonderful! The property is beautiful, incredibly convenient to everything, and the staff truly went above and beyond. We especially loved having access to the Audi and really appreciated the hydration stations throughout the hotel. My only frustration was the pool—it was impossible to find a spot unless we went at night, which was disappointing given the price of our stay. It would have been nice to fully enjoy all of the amenities, especially after learning that not everyone using the pool was actually a hotel guest. Aside from that, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend the hotel!

Wonderful experience. We usually prefer 5 star hotels but there are none in Boulder. The service here felt more 5-star than many we have stayed at across the world. Incredibly kind, helpful, attentive staff. Clean, spacious rooms. Enjoyed many amenities - the complimentary car service, the gym, game room, pool, bar, and connected Ajax Tavern. Would stay here again and again.
