Residence Inn Boulder

Top notch, all the way around. Easy to find, easy to access, easy to park. The staff are friendly and polite, and always willing to lend a hand. The room had a lot of light, which is great, especially when it gets dark around 5:00 p.m.
The bed is comfortable, and there is an alarm clock in the room, and access to wake-​up calls, if needed. The kitchen is fully-​stocked, and there is a mini mart in the reception area in case you want to stay in and cook.
The best part has to be the «Happy Hour» the hotel hosts from Monday through Wednesday, where wine, beer and small bites are served. The first night, they had cheese, crackers, chips and baked brie. The second night, they had sliders with coleslaw, and the third night, they had two Indian dishes from a local restaurant to celebrate Diwali.
Bonus: recycling containers in the room because the hotel is earth-​friendly.

Two stars for poor communication. Called to make sure my cat was ok for two nights. Very accommodating lady on phone. She even suggested I leave magnet on door for maid. NEVER told me there was a FEE. Called again because the price went down a week before visit. Asked on phone how to handle that. She was in a hurry never could help. I booked and cancelled online. Actually twice. NEVER said anything about pet fee. Arrived and was given a 75 buck cat fee. She lowered it when I complained to 35 Had nowhere else to stay at last minute had to pay. Room was clean. Bathroom smelled like a musty gross gym locker with chlorine trying to cover it up. No towel hooks. Dish soap would have been nice in the kitchen. Breakfast nothing good. Green bananas. Had free beer and wine in some days in evening. I don’t drink but I guess I paid for that some how through my room rate. Also on had one tea for breakfast available.

This place is great if you get a two-​floor room. It’s basically an apartment with a loft. The kitchen is nicer than the one in my apartment in LA, in fact.
But you need to get a 2-​floor room, or you can hear the person above you tromping around.
The beds also aren’t quite comfortable enough for a really long-​term stay. If you’re exhausted from travel and 12-​hour days, sure. But once you adjust to the time zone, not so much.
Breakfast: 3 stars because it’s free
Service: 5 stars
Rooms: 2 – 4 stars (would be 4 – 5, but those beds and that noise…)
Location: 4 stars
Fitness center: 2 stars

This place is perfect. Yes a little older, however with a family of four, I could not ask for more space, better breakfast, or the perk of happy hour with food. This place won me over. Great staff great service…

Normally, I wouldn’t rate a somewhat dated property 5 stars, but allow me to elaborate. Granted, the property is probably 30 years old (who really knows), but unlike most renovations of older hotels, this Residence Inn, did it right.
The rooms were great– I mean who is going to complain with stainless appliances, and granite countertops. The property consisted of a pool (no hot tub), a basketball court (yes, I played), and a great patio area, with grill. Wife and I took it all in.
In addition to the great amenities, Residence Inn offers a full spread for breakfast. For us power drinkers, they even have a Happy Hour. Uh, free beer. Sold!
Super friendly staff, clean rooms, spotless grounds, and a convenient location. What’s not to like. I’ll stay here again when in Boulder.

Perfect place for families. Two bedroom suites are awesome. Staff is extremely friendly. Complimentary bikes are available to use on the extensive bike paths in boulder. Location is close to downtown and walking distance to boulder beer pub. I would definitely return!

The level of service and hospitality I received at this hotel is the very reason I am proud to be a Platinum Marriott member!
Even before arriving Jennifer helped me to make a reservation for my co-​worker and myself. She was very helpful and worked with me to ensure everything was correct and ready to go for our almost 3 week stay.
Staying at this property is what I wish every hotel stay would be. I felt right at home. The front desk staff knew us by name and was always friendly and on top of things. Thank you to Nancy, Jackie, Nikki and the entire staff for always being smiling faces to talk to!
The property itself is clean and spacious. It is set up apartment style with multiple two-​story buildings. While we were there they put out brand new pool furniture and it seems they are constantly doing things to improve the property. Each time I entered the gatehouse I had to stop to smell the flowers (literally). There are gorgeous hanging baskets of flowers that smell amazing, along with other flowers around the property.
There is ample parking in the parking lot and on the street. We had two 26 foot box trucks and there was plenty of space on the street by the hotel for us the entire time. The hotel is located in an office park type area with businesses around, which offers a wide street area for larger vehicles. If you come into town on Foothills Pwky make sure you turn on Valmont to get to Center Green Drive, as there is no entrance from Foothills.
There are also FREE bikes and helmets that you can borrow at any time! You can easily get to many restaurants and shopping within less than 2 miles! I definitely used this multiple times throughout my stay. The 29^th Street mall is very close with food and shopping galore!
Of course they have the evening reception a few nights of the week with beer, wine and a variety of food choices. The breakfast is also standard Res Inn food, which includes a large spread every morning.
My room was a studio Residence Inn room with living room and full kitchen. There is also a fire place and spacious bathroom! One feature that I always look forward to is an oven! All Res Inns have a stovetop but only some have the ever coveted oven! This is helpful if you are staying for a long period of time! The room is clean, newly renovated and has everything you would need!
Overall I had an exceptional time at this property and I look forward to returning to Boulder! There isn’t another hotel in Boulder that I would even consider staying at after my wonderful stay here!

This Residence Inn gets the business traveler pass. Rooms are decently sized with a full kitchen. Plenty of closet space (though I really missed having a luggage rack). There is wired and wireless internet — you’ll have to ask for the wireless code, but it is free.
Daily breakfast is decent, with a rotating hot menu. The evening reception is just okay — free shitty beer and snacks aren’t really much of a motivation for me since Boulder is full of good restaurants and I have an expense account.
I appreciated a coin laundry and a small store that you could buy drinks (but no Coke products, grrrrr) and snacks.
Bummers: no elevators so if you have a heavy bag, I suggest you ask for a lower level room. Also, you can really hear the traffic on the side of the property parallel to the main road. The other side, closer to the entrance is hampered by the train. Sigh.
Overall, I didn’t hate staying here over the course of two different weeks, but it’s definitely not a standout.

Nice place, very clean rooms. very nice people, they even have bicycles to rent, great location, close to everything.

The BEST hotel for families of 4 or more. One of the few hotels that I have EVER taken my socks off to walk on the carpeting! TWO full baths. THREE tvs. Two story loft. OVEN! under $ 200. We have traveled all over the place, and this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at.

I see where this Residence Inn only has two other reviews and the last one was over two years ago, so an update is an order!
Well I stayed here three nights while in town for a wedding and had a fantastic stay! I think A LOT of people at the hotel this weekend were there for the wedding I attended and the staff was super accommodating. I stayed in one of the upstairs/​downstairs suite’s with three other people (two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen living room) and everything was very nice. Comfy beds & couches, cable TV, stove, microwave, full-​size fridge, toaster, the works…
Other features that I enjoyed:
*Very nice pool/​jacuzzi (only got to take advantage of this one day but there was plenty of lounge chairs & towels)
*Complimentary breakfast (I’m talking waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, yogurt/​granola, bagels, juice, coffee, and so much more!)
*Cookies & rice crispy treats in the lobby!
*A small market that isn’t extremely overpriced
*Very nice staff (two of us staying in the room weren’t in the wedding party and had a lot of down time. We had several local questions that were answered).
*No problems getting a late checkout the morning we left (this was the day after the wedding so a late checkout was a NECESSITY!)
Also…and this is a big reason this place gets five stars. Things got pretty rowdy around here the night of the wedding, but the staff handled things MORE than graciously :)

When I was a growing up, one of my favorite books was «Eloise At The Plaza.» (This is not going to be a short review packed with useful information, so if you actually want to know about the Marriott Residence Inn, I suggest you skip to the last paragraph. For more on the literary predilections of the young Pumpkin K, ready on…). Eloise lived at the Plaza Hotel in New York City with her tortoise, her pug and her nanny. She had the most marvelous adventures and I dreamed that someday I would go to The Plaza and order room service and have tea and all kinds of adventures. And lo and behold, I did. And I even stayed at The Plaza and ordered room service and had tea and made friends with a very nice lady who came by each evening to turn down my bed and give me chocolates. And it was every bit as fun as Eloise made it look. Being an adult is AWESOME.
So I blame Eloise for my penchant for posh hotels, and the fact that a uniformed doorman makes me feel in my tummy like it’s Christmas morning. Fortunately, in between jumping up and down on the beds of five-​star hotels, I went to law school and landed a job that that indulges, to a degree, my penchant for posh hotels (either on their dime or on a salary that accommodates an occasional splurge). But sometimes I’m kind of a hotel snob, and that makes it awkward when traveling to locations like Longmont. «Oh GAWD, darling, is there really no Four Seasons in the area?» says my inner hotel snob.
Enter the Marriott Residence Inn, to challenge my preconceptions. The staff was extremely friendly (am told this is a red-​state trade off: there are more Republicans, but they’re the really NICE kind, not the mean urban Ann Coulter types). The breakfast buffet was surprisingly plentiful and there’s an indoor pool. The best part is that all the rooms are set up like little apartments, with a sitting area and kitchenette and bedroom. Nothing opulent or super-​fancy, but very clean and practical. My colleague recommended it because she was here for a couple weeks and so she was buying groceries and making dinner there and everything. This place left me feeling five-​star but on a three-​star budget. Hurray!

This is actually one of the nicer and friendlier hotels I have stayed at.
Here are some of the perks:
1) Complimentary breakfast that includes scrambled eggs, a waffle station, fruit, bagels, cereal, juice and coffee. The eggs are decent if you get there early otherwise they are as hard as rocks.
2) Complimentary beverage hour from 5 – 7 M-​F. Free beer anyone???
3) Daily service, even for extended stay guests.
4) Right of off 28^th on Valmont; biking distance to Pearl St.
5) Very friendly and helpful staff. By far the best aspect of my stay here. The very nice woman at the front desk recommended LiquorMart to help me get my booze on and even wrote down directions for me. That is what I call service!
6) Swimming pool and fitness room (only treadmill, stair-​master and elliptical).
Overall, I would stay here again and recommend this place, as long as you can swing the $ 120 – 150 a night. Luckily for me my comp. has this one covered =).
