| - We had extremely low expectations and were pleasantly surprised.
See my recent review for La Quinta. Our rooms near the airport were cancelled by the hotel because they decided they didn't want to honor reservations for free rooms made through their loyalty program on a night that Vegas was selling out. So, we're halfway through our vacation with nowhere to stay the night before we fly out and limited access to cell phone and wifi signals while traipsing around the Grand Canyon. We had spotted a couple of Boulder City hotels on our way out to AZ, so we made some calls and were able to get a couple of reasonably priced (under $100 compared to over $300 in Vegas) rooms here at the Boulder Inn. We read the reviews and were definitely concerned about cleanliness.
The people working the desk could not have been any nicer. They even pointed us to a local annual festival with music, food, juried crafts, and classic cars. Because of the reviews, the first thing my sister and I did was check out the sheets and bedspread and they had been freshly laundered. The mattresses were not new, but they weren't in bad shape, and showed no signs of bedbugs or other louse. The floor could use a good vacuuming, but the room was otherwise clean. It was, on the other hand, extremely outdated and there were no apparent attempts made to refurbish the room whatsoever. The wifi and the AC worked, the bed was firm, and the water in the shower was hot. I've paid more to stay in worse conditions.
