A lodging staple for budget-minded road-trippers and business travelers.

by Robyn Galbos

In Short
Since the Ramada brand made its debut in 1954 in Flagstaff, Ariz., the hotel franchise has been offering dependable accommodations with budget-wise perks. Families appreciate the kids-stay-free policy for children 17 and under staying with their parents. Other amenities usually include a swimming pool, full-service restaurant, lounge, in-room data ports and voice mail. Group rates--for wedding parties, corporate groups or family reunions--are available for parties requiring 10 or more rooms per night.

best mid-priced hotel in boulder

My husband and I were so impressed by the Boulder Outlook Hotel & Suites. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff was very helpful directing us to trails to hike and showing us the bike path to the downtown area (well located for these activities). We really enjoyed our visit to Boulder - its a great town - and think our good experience at the Outlook contributed. We are thinking of coming again to ski in the spring and are thinking of staying at least one night here as well as in the mountains. I loved all the colors and the whole atmosphere at the hotel.

• Pros: great views, good food, unique
