Absolute Luxury! I was on a business trip and needed a mid-range hotel close to the UC campus. I chose Alps rather than one of the dingy mid-range options in town. Wow! I am so glad I did. For an extra 5 minute drive through a lovely canyon park, I got a beautiful mountain lodge nestled into the side of a cliff; a lovely wooded area with a river across the street. The lobby area has an enormous stone fireplaces and a large, open, log-cabin feel, comfortable sitting area, with complementary coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cookies all day. The room itself was fully carpeted, very clean, nice bathroom and shower, with a solid, comfortable bed and cable TV (which was a little small, but had DVD and VCR as well) classically combined with antique style lamps and wooden wardrobe, desk, and boudoir. But on top of that, it had a mountain side porch and a beautiful working fireplace complete with easy-to-light log (not gas!). I have never been on a business trip where I could come back at night, sip hot chocolate in my room beside a real fire while I flipped channels, and then fall asleep to the light of the fire dancing on the walls. Then to top it off, there was a full, GOURMET breakfast the next morning in the beautiful dining area with yet another huge fireplace and a lovely deck for warmer days (not while I was there!). I can?t wait for my next business trip (vacation?!) to Boulder! Ten stars!

We stayed in the Magnolia Suite which has a working fireplace jacuzzi. The bed was so comfortable that I am looking into buying the mattress for my home. The attention to details was apparent with walk though of the facility and room features at check in. Fresch oatmeal rasin cookies and hot tea and coffee are available 24 hours per day in the lobby which has a fireplace and comfortable lounge furniture. The staff was warm, friendly and accommodating. I will likely stay here again if vacationing in Boulder. Although the Inn is located in the mountains, driving to Pearl Street Mall and other central locations took 10-15 minutes (the roads were free of snow during our stay). For business I might consider staying elsewhere as the Inn's mountain location prevents cell and wireless internet connection; I was unaware of this until informed during check in. The Inn does allow nation wide phone calls at no charge. Also note, the Inn is located directly off of Boulder Canyon Drive which cuts through the mountains and the locals have a way of zipping along such mountain roads at speeds that are a bit intimidating for visitors (I'm a Denver native and graduate of CU Boulder and still felt a bit weary when followed by a local). It felt as though we were making a mad dash to turn onto the driveway of the inn and another mad dash when leaving -- timid drivers beware. Overall, it's a wonderful find!

The breakfast alone is worth staying here, but add the historical building, the friendly staff (including the dog!!), and it's a real winner. The driveway is hard to find, especially at night, so a sign may have helped. Really cute place. Be sure to keep an eye out for hummingbirds.
