“Best kept secret in Boulder”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

This Inn was a great little surprise. It's close to Boulder on a bus route and off the highway located in a residential area - very quiet. Clean, large, and comfortable room and bed. Apparently, it was a converted office space so the rooms are not necessarily uniform like impersonal corporate boxes. The atmosphere is closer to a B&B with all the amenities of a highway hotel but it was not dingy as the other reviewer stated. We were given the "resident" rate because my daughter lives nearby. Very economical and convenient to Boulder. We will stay there anytime we are in the area.

I've stayed here several times, and each time was a great experience. Great place for the price. Beds are very comfortable and cozy and the rooms are spacious and very clean.
The breakfast has a wide variety of quick & easy food to choose from.. not to mention it all tasted good. The service is great as well.. The inn keepers are very personable and cater to your needs. I will stay at Boulder Twin Lakes Inn every time I'm in Boulder!

“A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I randomly chose to stay at the Boulder Twin Lakes Inn because it is close to where my daughter is residing. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be! The owner greeted me himself and was so friendly that I felt at home even before I saw the room. The owner obviously takes great pride in his hotel...I saw him all over the place working. The fact that he does so much of the work himself is probably what makes this hotel so affordable. Even if he's not at the desk, he can always be contacted by phone wherever he is on the property. The room was a shock....it was large, very attractive and very clean. The owner told me that every year he and his wife have upgrades done to make the rooms even better. Another surprise was that the price includes a breakfast in the morning. I plan to stay here again the next time I'm in Boulder and plan to recommend it to my friends.

“You can probably do better than this”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

I stayed there in December for a few nights. The room was clean but kind of dingy and obviously hadn't been updated in many years. The ceiling, for instance, was like something you'd see in your office. I was staying alone, and it didn't bother me, but I'm positive that my wife would have called the room depressing. There was a small fridge, which was helpful, and a flat-screen TV with a decent cable selection. The walls were thin. The breakfast wasn't very good. The service was spotty -- nobody was around when I arrived at about 7 p.m., but I found my key in an envelope on the desk. Combine all that with the residential location in an apparently converted office building on the outskirts of town, and the whole place was a little odd. But the price was very cheap, the place was clean, and the bed was comfortable. So if you aren't too picky about aesthetics or aren't going to spend much time in your room, it might be a good choice. It's a 5 to 10 minute drive into the heart of Boulder, and you might have to pay a two or three bucks to park at a parking garage in the center of town. Again, that didn't bother me much. But if you want to be close to the action in Boulder, this is definitely not the place for you. I've stayed at the Boulder Marriott in the past, and that was terrific but much more expensive. There are some other budget motel options right in town, and I would probably look at one of those next time instead of the Twin Lakes.

“comfortable”

I stayed at the Twin Lakes on the first of January and the experience was great. The rooms are very comfortable and large and the staff friendly. It's a nice place to stay if you want to be close enough to the Eldora Ski resort and downtown Boulder. I am recommending this Inn to everybody who wants to have a quality stay on a budget.
