Longmont Hotels

Newly open (2007) the Holiday Inn Express hotel in Longmont has quickly established a reputation for cleanliness, good customer service and comfortable rooms. The hotel is part of a developing area of shopping and dining outlets at the southwest side of town just off Highway 119 from Boulder, within walking distance (half a mile) from the Twin Peaks Mall. Many of the rooms have views towards the Rocky Mountains in the west; all are nicely decorated and contain a microwave & refrigerator. The main leisure attraction is a sizeable indoor pool complete with 150 foot water slide, though the slide is only open 3 days a week. Other amenities are free continental breakfast, a hot tub, fitness center and business center.

There are several new hotels along Dry Creek Road in southwest Longmont, near Twin Peaks Mall, including three adjacent properties from Marriott. For regular guests the main choice is the Courtyard, a handsome, 3 storey building of 78 rooms that all feature the new, extra comfortable Marriott bedding, have free internet access, and are equipped with microwave/refrigerator. Most have a private balcony, looking out over the edge of the Rocky Mountains. Instead of the usual enclosed courtyard the hotel has an open garden area with gazebo, while interior facilities include a cafe serving breakfast only, a 24 hour business center, indoor pool & hot tub, and over 4,000 sq ft of conference space.

The best choice for extended stay or all suite accommodation in Longmont is undoubtedly the Residence Inn by Marriott. It has an easy-to-reach location just off Highway 119, the southwest approach to town - along a quiet side street (Dry Creek Rd) but within 3 miles of all major sites including Twin Peaks Mall, Safeway Plaza, Boulder Country Fairgrounds and Longmont Airport. The rooms are exceptionally clean, and all have separate living/working/sleeping areas plus a full kitchen including a dishwasher. There are many restaurants nearby, but both full breakfast and evening reception (Mon-Thu) are available free at the hotel. Leisure amenities are a pool, hot tub, fitness center and sports court.

SpringHill Suites Boulder Longmont is the newest of a line of three adjacent Marriott hotels, and like the others it has a deserved reputation for excellent customer service, beautiful, clean rooms, a peaceful location, and relatively inexpensive rates. There are 90 rooms on offer - all studio suites containing a kitchenette area with microwave/refrigerator/sink, an extra sofa bed, and separate sections for working & living. A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served each morning. Amongst the other facilities are a business center, guest laundry, gift shop, fitness center, indoor pool and whirlpool. The hotel is 12 miles from Boulder and 3 miles from Longmont town center - alongside Hwy 119, near Twin Peaks Mall.

The Best Western hotel in Firestone, CO (formerly the Del Camino Inn), is part of a small group of lodging 6 miles east of Longmont next to I-25 (exit 240), in a lightly developed area close to the usual selection of fast food restaurants and gas stations but also within a couple of miles of Barbour Ponds State Park, which offers fishing, boating, picnicking and hiking. The 3 storey hotel is quite new, and it contains 58 large, clean rooms (equipped with microwave/refrigerator), supported by a good range of facilities, principally free full breakfast, an indoor pool, fitness center, spa and business center. Denver city center and the international airport are both about 30 miles south, all along freeways.

Another hotel east of Longmont alongside exit 240 of I-25, the Quality Inn is quite a small but well maintained property of 50 east or west-facing rooms, located along the frontage road within a short walk of several restaurants. Better than average free continental breakfast is served, and the inn also provides an indoor pool, hot tub and guest laundry. The hotel is a popular stop for travelers from the east en route to Rocky Mountain National Park, entrance to which is 53 miles away.
