Stayed: May to June 2026
My stay
My wife and I spent 5 nights at Embassy Suites by Hilton Boulder at the end of May 2026, checking out in June. It’s an Embassy Suites by Hilton at 28th Street and Canyon Boulevard, half a mile from CU Boulder.
I booked a 2-room king suite with a mountain view on the Honors Semi-Flex rate. The nightly rate moved each night, from $274.93 to $348.63. 4 taxes and assessments posted each night: state tax, city tax, an assessment listed as LBAA, and city tax on that assessment. Together they came to 15% of the rate.
| Night | Rate | Taxes |
|---|---|---|
| Night 1 | $333.02 | $49.91 |
| Night 2 | $314.66 | $47.15 |
| Night 3 | $332.69 | $49.85 |
| Night 4 | $274.93 | $41.20 |
| Night 5 | $348.63 | $52.24 |
| Total | $1,603.93 | $240.35 |
The folio came to $1,844.28, or $368.86 a night. Nothing else posted: no parking and no food. My confirmation had listed self parking at $24 a day.
