Residence Inn Boulder, Boulder

Liked: Great staff, clean room, breakfast is a huge plus!

Exceptional

Excellent value, location, friendly staff.

Liked: The front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Accommodations were spacious and clean. Location is convenient to everything in Boulder. No charge for parking!
Disliked: The breakfast is not the best around, but not a deal-breaker. The blinds in the room don't open completely. Rooms are decorated a bit drab / plain.

Exceptional

Liked: Very clean and friendly staff.
Disliked: NA

I believe that the Marriott...

Liked: Great location. Nice space.
Disliked: I don't know if it was our room or the entire Residence Inn, but in Room 114, we could hear every step taken above us--like a herd of elephants were tromping on our heads (truly, I have never had this kind of noise before). The floor creaked like the plywood was cracking--I feel like the floor in that room above us needs to be torn up and redone--or is the entire complex built like this? We were given a new room in the middle of the night, but by then our night of sleep had been shot. Had I been the owner of this hotel, I would have comped that first night and gone overboard to compensate for our experience.

FALSE ADVERTISING - NO FIREPLACES

Liked: It was clean
Disliked: The description very clearly stated the room had a FIREPLACE in it, right down to the BIG BLAZING photo of a roaring Fire on the page....the Fireplace was the ONLY reason I booked this room....there were MUCH cheaper and closer hotels and AirBnBs to who I was visiting in town...but I decided to splurge and pay a lot more for the Fireplace. When I arrived I was informed they had removed all the Fireplaces on the premises and because I booked through Booking.com there was nothing they could do to compensate me. TOTAL FALSE ADVERTISING and BAIT & SWITCH tactics!!!

Excellent

Liked: Everything was great. The room and bathroom facilities were the best. The shower was very relaxing.

Fabulous

Liked: Amazingly attentive and friendly staff.
Disliked: Location is fine, very quiet street. However, due to construction and rush hour traffic, sometimes difficult to get out of the area as there is only one way out of the cul-de-sac.
