This is an older building but my room was clean and quiet, and the staff were lovely. It's an unbeatable location if you're visiting a student in Will Vill.

Hoping for Big Things coming soon!
I really want to love this place, but it's not quite there yet. It's such a cool property with good bones and a ton of potential, but needs some further updating. The rooms: Spacious and the AC, while perhaps a little loud, worked great. The bed was new and updated, new comfy linens, nice fluffy towels. The carpet needed an update, and as other noted, there was a small modern coffee maker, but no coffee was provided in-room. It wasn't the cleanest room, but it was definitely the most economical room in walking distance to the campus. We got coupons for free coffees in the Swim Club coffee shop, but despite wandering around for 10 minutes on the Sunday morning of literally CU move-in weekend, we couldn't find anyone to dispense the coffee, so eventually left. Seemed like a good day to have the coffee shop staffed. There were no pics of the pool area on any of the websites, so I didn't know to bring a suit, but some reviews mention it being quite large and cool, so i'm bummed i missed it. The pool table/entertainment area is really cool, but needs music or something? I felt like i wasn't welcome in that space. Pros: the clerk graciously gave us an early check-in which we really appreciated. Parking was free and plentiful. The room was quiet! They've maintained some of the old school broker feeling in the lobby -- that doesn't need updating, it's so cool! If you are familiar with the chain of McMenamins in the northwest, this could be just as fun a draw with a little help!

It was really hot in the room even though the thermostat was at 61. The outlet was falling out of the wall and wiggly. It also smelled really bad in the hallway and elevator. It was clean in the room though nd the bedding was very comfortable

Seemingly the only reasonable place to stay in Boulder, but you get what you pay for. Walking into the room, there was an indescribable smell that permeated the room. You would get used to it after awhile, but anytime you left and re-entered it would punch you in the face again. Shower did not drain properly, so I was standing ankle deep in my own filth. I was willing to put up with it for one night, but I was happy to leave. Location was great for me, staff were kind. Wasn't there long enough to check out the pool. It was great that Dark Horse was next door for late night eats.

The bar restaurant in pool area was actually pretty unique and fun. The staff was great. The room was meh. You're looking for a place to sleep, this is a great place to sleep. If you're looking to actually spend time in your room go elsewhere. The only water in the bathroom was piping hot. Shower was miserable. The room was very dark, had poor lighting and the AC didn't work that great. The room you could say is outdated, very dark and dreary, kind of depressing honestly. But it got me out and about and exploring the town!

Overall everything was great. The Boy Scout functions dominated the beginning of my stay, so, at first, I was disappointed to not have breakfast my first day. A jump into the pool cured all that. The fires had everyone on edge. The staff bent over backwards to help me when I thought I'd lost my wallet. I didn't lose it, though. Thank you to the kind people at the Broker. I loved the food in the bar area. Excellent service too.

This property is a 2 star at best. Hot day in Boulder and the air conditioning could not keep up. Told the desk...their response was "sometimes when I unplug it and start it again it works fine". ( I actually did this..lifted the whole exterior cover off (1 foot by 3 feet) to get to the plug. Put the desk light on the ground because no light i other in that area. Got down on my stomach and removed the plug from the uncovered socket. Next...3 yes just 3 kleenexes. Next...straight shower curtain rod bearly holding on by a flimsy screw half out. (Oh sorry...I will be positive...half in..) Next...shower knob just functional enough with some help and jimmying. Next....old still Motel 6 towels quality...thin as a runny pancake...Oh yeah,,,Next...all sockets by the work desk connect to the frig, lamp, TV, and cable box. Wanna work on your computer? Pick which amenity you don't want powered. And finally...Next...could use the bathroom sockets to charge phone because they were so loose, the cord fell right out...
