Loved this hotel. Prime Boulder next to everything from pearl street mall and close to parks. Beautiful spaces and rooms. Great amenities, house car, bikes, pool/hot tub, and Audi experience included in booking. Staff was extremely friendly especially the concierge. Very reasonable price especially given we came during Memorial Day weekend. Would absolutely recommend if you’re visiting Boulder!

Great experience. Wyatt especially helpful - went above and beyond service expectations- location is perfect for visiting CU students. Amazing breakfast - eggs Benedict cooked to perfection- rooms fully updated- mini bar stocked- lobby served coffee and tea early in the morning- bathrooms always clean. All staff served with a great attitude and a smile.

The blueberry beignets at Ajax Boulder are absolutely incredible—easily a 10/10. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with the perfectly covered in blueberry flavor sugar. If you’re in Boulder, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Ajax for these; you won’t regret it.

Excellent brunch at with my friends and their families! The space is beautiful, the service is great, and the food is better than any I've had in Boulder. Highly recommend the eggs benedict and the beignets.

Loved the Limelight. Super clean, super light and airy, great amenities, and, overall, just a good vibe. Felt modern in a thoughtful way, not a cold way. Everyone -- from the parking guys to the bartender to maintenance folks -- was cheerful and kind. Our room was spacious, the hotel's location is great. We had a small problem with the lights, called the front desk, and someone was at our door in literally six minutes to fix it. That's the kind of response I like. We'll most definitely be back.
