We had an incredible 2 days at The Bradley at the end of a long tour around Wyoming, and it was faultless! Right from the very moment we arrived, the staff couldn't do enough to help us. The Bradley has a really warm "home away from home" feel, and with freshly baked cakes and cookies, board games, magazines, free cheese and wine etc, you really don't need to leave the hotel. Of course, when you do leave, you are absolutely in the heart of Boulder, which is a charming university town just full of energy, organic cafes, great shops, street performers and brew pubs. I was a bit reluctant to stay in Boulder, thinking that it would be a disappointing city stop at the end of our tour of the national parks, but I was completely wrong. Actually the chance to have a bit of urban cool before our flight back to the UK was a really welcome stop, and next time I would make it an actual feature of our trip and stay longer. (At The Bradley of course!)
I really can't fault it. Please do make the trip to Boulder and do stay here, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. If you are waivering about the price (as we were), then just splash out and book it. Really.
It is also an easy drive from Denver airport - we used it as the last stop before heading to the airport for an early morning flight. We didn't stay in Denver to do the comparison, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have come close to the experience we had in Boulder.
