My stay at the Alps Boulder Canyon Inn was quite a mixed bag. While the rustic charm and great location near Boulder provided a nice escape, I found several aspects that were less than ideal. The decor and some of the amenities felt outdated, and a few maintenance issues detracted from the overall experience. However, the attentive staff and delicious breakfast made up for some of the shortcomings.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the Alps Boulder Canyon Inn. The peaceful, scenic location along the Boulder river was lovely, yet the inn feels worn and in need of updates.
