Cute little inn-we were visiting Boulder for family weekend and it was nice, quiet, clean and not a bad uber ride to town! The staff was super friendly and helpful and the morning breakfast was nice.
This place is a hidden gem! Room was bigger than I expected. Staff was very friendly. Location is fantastic. I'll be back.

What a great hotel! It's kind of tucked away in a residential neighborhood, but still convenient to Boulder by car. The room was great, and I especially appreciated the super comfortable bed and pillows! Lots of nice amenities like the hot tub, the hydration station, and the included breakfast with lots of options. There was even a separate kitchen upstairs, which would be excellent for long-term stays. The people were really friendly and helpful, too. I'd absolutely stay here again!
Rooms are all nice, and being worked on as well with good craftsman. I know I've been in renovations for 20 years. Staff is always amazing. Treat people proper and they will go above and beyond for you. Prices are fair, 450 a week to 550 and all the rooms will be worth it. Breakfast could be a little better is only complaint. Even with the construction going on in some rooms it can't even be heard. I suggest if you're in this area contact management directly and see what the can do.
We picked this motel for the use of a hot tub, its affordable price, and proximity to Boulder. We were pleasantly surprised to find a delightful walking path outside the door that takes you to a couple of lakes and a brewery. It made for a great evening stroll and morning sunrise walk. The motel was what I'd expect for the price - clean, and nothing fancy. I'd stay again.

Twin Lakes is a nice place to stay, close to lots of great hiking and a terrific brewery right of the hiking paths of twin lakes. The staff was very nice and the rooms clean and roomy. For the price, you can’t beat it!

Friendly staff and a convenient walk to Avery brewing
The room was very spacious which gave us a place to store our bikes while we were out and about. The staff was very friendly and suggested an app for us to use to see the different bike trails in the area. Both the common areas and room were clean and well maintained. It’s set back in a quiet neighborhood right a long a nice walking path. We would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in Boulder again
I stayed here while doing a triathlon--perfect location! It is right by the reservoir! Super convenient. Very clean; very friendly. I wasn't there for breakfast or anything, but the room was huge, remote check-in and out was a breeze!
