Top Central Boulder Hotel Reviews

Basecamp Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Nice stay. Staff friendly and helpful"

The Nest at Black Hawk

8/10 Good

"Such a unique experience! Beautiful sunrise that I could enjoy from my bed in the dome. Also sounds like they have plans to add on more amenities in the future which will be amazing! It’s about a 5ish min drive up the hill from Black Hawk. The food and drink options at the bar/restaurant were nice to have since we didn’t want to drive into town, but is slightly limited. Would be really great if they have a full kitchen for the restaurant when they expand! I’d definitely stay again!"

Omni Interlocken

8/10 Good

"Overall, it’s a was a nice hotel and the staff was very professional. They had a welcome note, 1/4 bottle of wine and charcuterie plate for our anniversary - nice touch. The pool stays heated as needed to swim year round. Sheps and Campers have some nice on site food options. Room was clean and looked recently renovated with signs of wear (not keeping up with paint chipping, carpet stains). The toilet wouldn’t flush the first time for some reason. You’d always have to wait and flush it a second time. It’s like it didn’t have water in the tank the first flush - odd. Nothing that was a deal breaker. I’d stay again. If you book through Expedia, make sure you’re getting a Mountain View room if you are looking to book that. We booked a Mountain View room on the top floor through Expedia, showed up to a room that was facing the highway and part of the golf course. That was a bit annoying and not the hotels fault. Expedia advertised the room as a Mountain View but sent my reservation to the hotel without that feature included. Just a heads up if you book through Expedia!"
