The pluses:
-Location is excellent and central to many great parts of Boulder and a short drive or run to the Flatirons.
-The staff were very friendly and responsive to a few issues I had over a two night stay; discovered the TV was broken on the first night and it was fully replaced the next day.
-The property is mix of classic motel and modern outdoorsy vibe and highly stylized. Hot-tub and sauna were okay, but not really a selling point on 85 degree summer days. The "activity room" was off limits for one of two days due to a group function but looked cool?
-The room was clean when I arrived and did not notice anything of immediate concern. Carpet is a bit old and worn but not the worst (by far) I've seen in similar hotels.
The not so great:
-Finishes in the room are a bit slapdash and not the greatest craftsmanship, especially in the microscopic bathroom. I doubt anyone over 5'6" could take a comfortable shower given the showerhead placement.
-Being an older building, walls were fairly thin. Mostly not a problem until my second night, when downstairs neighbors returned at 1:30 AM, drunkenly screaming at one another, smoking **** (basically hotboxed my room) and coughing until 5 or so. Didn't have any issues with other patrons, which were mostly families and older adults.
Overall, the price is justified by the location and "vibe" of the property, but don't expect a typical 8+ reviewed hotel quality in terms of modern comforts or refurbishments.
