I stay here when I'm in Boulder because it fits the tight budget. Considering the price I'm satisfied. They have a simple, ample breakfast and location is good. A special supermarket is across the street and you can walk to the main tourist street. They even have bikes for you which is a nice offer. Biggest negative for me is... More

This is a tired property, past due for updating. While the beds were reasonably comfortable, there were zero amenities (no microwave or refrigerator) and the toilet took several flushes to work. The person in the room next to ours played the radio loud all night. The price seemed high for 2 double beds - for a third that I could... More

Our stay was wonderful. Location of the Inn is great, parks, restaurants, shops all within walking distance. I would stay here again. Free wifi and the Alfalfa's store right across the street is great to pick up some great CO beers and snacks.

Great location, two blocks from Pearl Street and with a very nice supermarket on the side of the street. The hotel is, however, a bit old and expensive for what it offers in terms of room quality and amenities. Facing the Boulevard, the University Inn is a bit noisy.

The price was excellent, as well as the location. We were able to walk pretty much everywhere in downtown boulder. Central Park is right behind the building, and "The Hill" is right up the street. Also close to downtown Pearl Street. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the room was clean and I loved the walk-in closet. The floors... More

This is a cheap motel - and you get what you pay for! I asked for a non-smoking room. That is what was on the door. In spite of this, the room reeked of stale smoke. By the time I mentioned this, I had already settled in for the night after a long flight. The Alfalfa's store across the street... More

This hotel is nestled in the very low foothills right near the mountains (as opposed to strip mall city that is most of Boulder). It's 3 blocks from Pearl Street Mall and the other hotels that charge $300 a night, and it's right across the street from Alfalfa's, the local Whole Foods equivalent. Very convenient to Canyon St (which everything... More

My initial thought on this place was, "what a great location for only $70!" Then I walked into the room only to be choked by the intense smell of smoke. My attempts to change rooms were fruitless- the front desk agent seemed well-rehearsed for this common complaint. Do not stay here if you value sleep. Its prime location turned into... More

This is the second time we have stayed at UI. We love to go to Pearl Street so this is the perfect location to be in walking distance. The place does need some updating and it is scheduled to begin in October. The pictures of their plans look great. The staff is helpful and very friendly.

Arriving here to stay a few nights prior to our daughter attend the Fall Semester at CU Boulder was pleasant. The rooms are ample size but we needed a larger room for the four of us (two parents, college freshman and younger brother). We traveled all over Asia last year so we work well together in small spaces but the... More
