Top CU Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Basecamp Boulder

8/10 Good

"Loved the location and it was cute. Not fancy but a hipster-fied motel. Workout room was a bit sad but the staff was awesome."

Hilton Garden Inn Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"Comfort, amenities, location, and parking are just a few of the things that can make a hotel stay a great experience. What makes it even better is when the staff feels supported by management, and that support is reflected in the service they provide to guests. That is truly the icing on the cake. Angie was an absolute delight! She was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, communicative, patient, and so much more. She clearly takes pride in her work, does her job exceptionally well, and deserves a raise! When welcoming guests, you never know what someone may be going through or what circumstances have brought them there. Sometimes, a little kindness, patience, and exceptional service can make all the difference. Angie demonstrated exactly that. This is why I would recommend staying here over other nearby hotels. Great amenities are important, but it's the people who make an experience memorable. Thank you again, Angie, and to the rest of the staff working that evening (10-11-2026). Your kindness and hospitality did not go unnoticed!"

Bradley Boulder Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Parking is tight, but otherwise a wonderful stay!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"This was a clean hotel with a great pool and workout facility and a first-rate (hot) breakfast."

Limelight Boulder

10/10 Excellent

"This was a perfect spot for our family to explore Boulder and RMNP. It has so many great amenities: outdoor lounge with yard games, outdoor pool, great restaurant, and walkable distance to downtown. We will definitely stay here again!"

Boulder Marriott

8/10 Good

"The suite had plenty of room with the separate living area. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable at all. The bathroom was large with double sinks but had the mirror placed in between the sinks which didn't make sense at all. Other than that we liked the room and it was great for the weekend. The restaurant food was really good also."

Bright & Tranquil Chautauqua 3 Bed 2 Bath Home Close to CU and Hiking Trails.

8/10 Good

"The open layout was great for our family and the beds were very comfortable. They also provided a pack and play and high chair for the baby. All standard supplies were well stocked and they even provided coffee, which we really appreciated. Loved the location…close to downtown. Our only issue was no hot water, so cold showers in the morning. The host response was delayed but the situation was resolved by the time we returned from our outing. We had a wonderful day and would highly recommend this Vrbo."

Enjoy the Magic of Chautauqua Park & Walk to CU / 4-5 Bedroom Home

10/10 Excellent

"This rental was perfect. From the location within walking distance of Chautauqua Park and great restaurants to the beautiful private outdoor patio great for enjoying a relaxing cup of coffee in the morning and laughing with family in the evening, this house was ideal. The owners were very helpful when checking in and couldn’t have been more accommodating throughout our stay. We had a large group and were so comfortable in this beautiful home. It was clean, spacious, had several televisions, a pool table and much more. We look forward to returning to Boulder and would definitely hope to stay here again."

Charming Historic Home located on the Hill

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place in a great location. Host was very accommodating. Lots of extras in the kitchen and bathroom if you forget something. There is not a TV which is kind of surprising. I guess assumed all places have a TV. This is not a negative just something to plan for."
