My sister and I stayed at Briar Rose as part of her pre-wedding get away. From the moment we walked in,we felt at home. We stayed in the Blanca room and after a night out in Boulder we sat next to the cozy fireplace and reminisced about our childhood. The gals that ran the place were very helpful and made... More

I made a last-minute, afternoon-of-stay reservation through an on-line service and got a room at a discounted rate of $118. Even so, this was not a good value for the money. Staying at the Briar Rose is rather like visiting relatives who have fallen on hard times. The owners could spend some cash sprucing up the place, which has grown... More

Such a peaceful, restful environment which is exactly what I needed. I especially loved having tea and cookies in my room! I have stayed here twice for a Mommy Getaway and I have gone home both times well-rested and refreshed. I will continue to visit Briar Rose!

On my fourth trip to Boulder I decided to stay at the Briar Rose. The inn, originally a home built in the 1880's in the heart of old Boulder, has been renovated over the last nine years. Welcoming, comfortable, and creative. Being there during a cold, snowy weekend, fires were keep going in fireplaces each day. I loved the fresh... More

Having spent three weeks travelling in the Mid-west before arriving here, we were underwhelmed. This was the most expensive bed and breakfast we stayed in during our trip and easily the poorest. It appeared to be run by a group of students who changed every morning, afternoon and night. They were very friendly and enthusiastic but did not appear to... More

Great b&b. We really enjoyed our visit... Staff was great, room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast the next morning was outstanding! The tea selection is worth checking out...it's impressive! The location is also quite good. Very convenient to many of the great spots to check out in Boulder. Will definitely stay here on one next trip to Boulder!

This is a cute little B&B. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. The breakfast is tasty and they leave out cake & cookies the whole day for you to nibble on. Our room was in the main part of the house and was small but comfortable. We ended up driving to the more touristy areas of... More

This is within walking distance of downtown if you enjoy walking. The staff is over the top helpful and nice. It was not a fancy place but quite comfortable. I really appreciated the tremendous effort to be environmentally friendly------recycling, organic cotton towels and sheets all natural toiletries in large bottles and as much as possible this time of year, locally...

As with several other reviewers, we felt that the price (around $195) was far too high...and we have stayed at quite a lot of B/B's in the USA and know that they are mostly on the slightly more luxurious end of accommodation. It IS in an upmarket area of a university town but the road was definitely busy and the... More
