Great location. Great service. Rooms very comfortable and well appointed. Valet/shuttle service was prompt and courteous. Would definitely stay here again next time in boulder.
Parking was easy, staff was super friendly and accommodating. The views from our room were amazing. Food and drink and the general lobby atmosphere were the highlights.
Lovely all around. Great bar, delicious restaurant (though pricey), cozy rooms, huge TVs, bathrobes, mini bar, balanced lighting (so important for me). I needed to relax after demanding work month and this was the right choice
My wife and I stayed here in early Sept. this is a fantastic new hotel! The staff was extreme friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and the beds/pillows were super comfy! The view of the Flatirons from pool was an awesome bonus! Would definitely stay here again.
From valet parking to check-in to luggage assistance upon my arrival, everything went smoothly. The room is very comfortable, modern yet cozy. The food in the restaurant is excellent, although the server could use a little more training; however, it was still a very good experience overall. The in-room coffee is also outstanding. Limelight Boulder gets a top rating in my book.
The hotel and staff were fabulous! It had a steamer and humidifier which was lovely! ❤️❤️
The pillows are the overly soft kind so that would be more only improvement option to have a variety of pillow types.
Very friendly staff, easy parking in deck behind the hotel, even on game day. Room was very pleasant and had all that you needed. Be careful if you have mobility issues, you have to step over the side of a soaking tub for the shower.
