My wife and I stayed here in early Sept. this is a fantastic new hotel! The staff was extreme friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and the beds/pillows were super comfy! The view of the Flatirons from pool was an awesome bonus! Would definitely stay here again.

Considering they were only open 1 week, everything went off without a hitch. Views are gorgeous and location great for campus access.

This is a beautiful, new hotel. Our room was well thought out, and very comfortable. The staff are amazing. The views from our room were stunning.
Kathleen, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From valet parking to check-in to luggage assistance upon my arrival, everything went smoothly. The room is very comfortable, modern yet cozy. The food in the restaurant is excellent, although the server could use a little more training; however, it was still a very good experience overall. The in-room coffee is also outstanding. Limelight Boulder gets a top rating in my book.

Love this new hotel!!!!!!

The hotel and staff were fabulous! It had a steamer and humidifier which was lovely! ❤️❤️ The pillows are the overly soft kind so that would be more only improvement option to have a variety of pillow types.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was one of the best hotels that i have ever stayed in. Everything, from the lobby, elevators, hallways, and room were spotless. Every single employee was friendly and attentive. I have worked in the hospitality industry for the past 20 yrs and have traveled a ton. Limelight is in the heart of campus, and during homecoming weekend they were slammed. The level of service that they provided was outstanding from check in to check out!
Jason, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff, easy parking in deck behind the hotel, even on game day. Room was very pleasant and had all that you needed. Be careful if you have mobility issues, you have to step over the side of a soaking tub for the shower.

wouldnt stay here

I wouldnt stay here. The room was not clean. Housekeeping came the next day and still didnt clean or vacuum. Then they charge a $20 PER DAY fee to use their pool and cars even though you dont use them. Power went out for hours and not a single person even acknowledged it. View is awesome. Potential here, but disappointing stay

This is an awesome hotel. There was nothing I would have changed or wished was better. The bed was super comfortable. The gym was clean and well stocked. The robes super soft. The entire facility was immaculate. Easy parking in the garage. I’ve already made plans to return so I can use the pool and get breakfast in the morning. It felt like a luxury stay at a reasonable price!

I stayed here on the first night they opened with my daughter. We were on a road trip and wanted to see Boulder. The hotel is beautiful, and they thought of every detail. It was walking distance to Pearl Street, which was nice.
