Top CU Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Limelight Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect spot for our family to explore Boulder and RMNP. It has so many great amenities: outdoor lounge with yard games, outdoor pool, great restaurant, and walkable distance to downtown. We will definitely stay here again!"

The Boulder Broker

8/10 Good

"Ok…. Read all the reviews and if you decide to stay here have the right expectation going into it. Nothing fancy about the place and that is spelled out very clearly. Location in my opinion was perfect for a game weekend which is why we were there. The staff was awesome but we aren’t very particular as long as room is clean and we feel safe. Bed and pillows were actually super comfortable and we slept well the whole time. Boulder can get expensive on game weekends and we felt we got our monies worth at this historic hotel. Hope this review helps!"

Boulder Marriott

8/10 Good

"The suite had plenty of room with the separate living area. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable at all. The bathroom was large with double sinks but had the mirror placed in between the sinks which didn't make sense at all. Other than that we liked the room and it was great for the weekend. The restaurant food was really good also."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hyatt Place Boulder/Pearl Street

10/10 Excellent

"Well maintained property. The bar and restaurant seem understaffed and were generally preoccupied with checking in guests but over all not bad."

Basecamp Boulder

8/10 Good

"Great"

Bradley Boulder Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It is a unique In. Craftsman style with beautiful woods and stained glass and living room with stone fireplace. Enjoyed having breakfast included and a happy hour."
