Completely different experience! Felt like we were being welcomed into someones home. Large king suite, excellent restaurant, staff that catered to our every need. Wonderful amenities, soft drinks, cookies, gourment coffee, microwave pop corn, fruit, etc available in lobby. We will stay there anytime we are in the area.

I had made a reservation with the hotel by going through Expedia'Unpublished hotel rates.. Unfortunately I had the date incorrect and called the Inn directly to see if a room was available for the following night. The desk manager said it would not be a problem and that they had a room. I do not know if he was aware of the low rate we had gotten through Expedia. This was in August. When we arrived after a 250 mile drive, we were told that there was no room (although the parking lot was empty at 6 pm) and that they had contacted Hotwire on Sept. 10th to find us a room elsewhere. No one, however, had contacted us!! The desk manager then gave us an address and directions to another hotel which turned out to be a La Quint Inn - hardly the British Inn and guest house where we had made a reservation!

My wife and I stayed in many towns in Colorado for our July vacation. Part of our vacation was to POSSIBLY look for a future place to live. We picked Broomfield as one nice area, as it would be close to my possible office and City Data gives it great grades!. My NY office has a sister office in CO..about 30 minutes from Broomfield!

Anyway as to the Hilltop Inn Guest House we REALLY loved our stay there. It is attached to a small Country style looking British restaurant. The restaurant is open to the public and or guests that stay there.

The food and atmosphere at this restaurant where you will also have a great breakfast, are REALLY special. Both the look, food, and the service are all excellent and special!.

Our room was quiet..had a private fireplace..and a mini kitchen, smelled clean.. This place is a sort of B&B yet it's a sort of tiny hotel. Forgot to mention..there is a beautiful garden right outside your door..when you pull up to the Hilltop In..you will most likely be greeted by SEVERAL little cute rabbits. They are not pests..they just add a Country flavor to your arrival and stay. Long story short we felt this Inn was QUITE special and Unique. The chef and pr owner? Duncan was quite a nice guy and an amazing cook. Wonderful place to stay...!!

Right off the bat, two things went wrong. We arrived on a Wednesday and were told that they almost canceled our reservation, even though they had acknowledged on the phone that we had changed our arrival date. Then we were given the wrong room -- two double beds instead of a king. We had to stay one night until the room could be changed. The room was adequate, but old and dated.

The next day we were changed to a king room. The big problem was that the main air conditioning unit on the wall was permanently broken and a tiny window air conditioner was trying to cool a giant room with an outdoor temperature of about 90 degrees. Again a dated room with a big stain on the seat of one of the cloth chairs. I don't know how the stain got there, but I wouldn't sit in it. When I pointed it out to management, the reply was “Oh, you mean this water stain?”

So management upgraded us to the two-room suite. The problems there were threefold. First one of the two air conditioners was broken, so one room was too warm. Second a smoker had been in the room, so it reeked of smoke, even though it was a non-smoking suite. Third, we were told the room was already reserved for Sunday night, so we could only stay for two nights and then would have to change rooms again.

The "fitness room" is a joke -- a closet sized room with three machines, no kidding. The wifi signal was weak and worked poorly in some areas of the hotel. The laundry room was free -- a nice touch.

We checked out of the hotel and stayed at the magnificent Omni Interlocken, about a mile away.

The two gentlemen in the office (I assume the owners) seem like good people. They need to bite the bullet and spend serious money to completely upgrade their facilities. The location is very nice, the outdoor area is nice. It could become a charming, wonderful place. As it now stands, I cannot recommend it.
