Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder
Romeo was the best. He was polite and courteous right off the bat. He did an upgrade for me (I was a local having a hard day and wanted a place to just chill), so his act of kindness should be noted. Thank you! This will be a place I will highly recommend to friends and family who visit Boulder.
