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.

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!
