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.

Love this new hotel!!!!!!

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.

wouldnt stay here

I wouldnt stay here. The room was not clean. Housekeeping came the next day and still didnt clean or vacuum. Then they charge a $20 PER DAY fee to use their pool and cars even though you dont use them. Power went out for hours and not a single person even acknowledged it. View is awesome. Potential here, but disappointing stay
