Fantastic staff, we considered staying just in case we got the virus, they would have been excellent providers.

The bed was great as well as the room. Very cozy and homey feeling.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Delicious tea with homemade cookies upon our arrival, a fabulous dinner recommendation, unobtrusive, attentive service throughout. Good reading material, very pretty furnishings, great location. We very much enjoyed the other guests. It was a fabulous place to stay.

The staff is exceptional, each member went out of their way to accommodate guests and make them feel valued. They were pleasant, helpful, and made an effort to know the guests. Also, the quality of the food was healthy and good, full breakfasts, with tea, coffee, and water available throughout the day. Finally, location is good for downtown and CU campus.

The manager & all the staff I encountered were always smiling, positive energy and overly sweet to me 😊. They have the most amazing baked goods (pumpkin sweet bread and a seeet potato focaccia) plus about 50 (not the cheap kind) loose leaf teas. It was like going to grandma’s house, except all the food was healthy, cooked to perfection and the beds are beyond comfortable. Ample free off-street parking (there’s even a buddhist meditation room near the quaint patios. (I’m terrible with names, sorry) upon check in, Jocelyn & Manager 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Greeted me immediately, followed by making me some evening “Briar Rose Uni-TEA). Just after extending my stay I was notified that a family member had passed. No issues with the last-minute cancellation of the extension, they granted me a no hassle three hour late check out and “Karen” even custom cooked me some breakfast (since I’d missed it). I’ve FOUND MY FOREVER place to stay whenever I visit Boulder, just magnificent!

Luv the staff and historic buildings. Great job on renovations and comfortable atmosphere. Way better than a hotel!

All good. Nice place, great breakfast, super staff, comfortable rooms. My bathroom was across the hall from my room. Nice clean bathroom but a bit of an inconvenience not being attached to the room. Wasn’t informed when I booked. Other rooms have bathroom attached. Inquire when you book.

Our room was clean and well decorated. We loved the bathroom design and the soaker tub. It was so relaxing. The staff was always super friendly and offered great advice on places to hike or to eat. We went to some great places because of their recommendations. They were always willing to bring tea to our room or serve us more food. Breakfast was fantastic and they even fixed us a “to go” bag on the morning we left. The staff made this place one of our favorite places we have stayed. The location of the bed and breakfast was also great. It didn’t take long to get anywhere we wanted to go.

The staff are incredible!. Loved the ability to have fresh brewed tea 7am-9pm daily. The bed and bedding were comfortable and cozy. I felt cared for and right at home. Highly recommend it.

Amazing breakfast in the morning and a lovely staff.

The Briar Rose attracts a wonderful variety of guests from all around the world. Breakfast is a time of stimulating conversations with remarkably interesting people, or an intimate breakfast for two on our sun-porch. Fresh flower arrangements are everywhere, and the gardens are lovely in Spring through the Fall (and still pleasant in the Winter, which has its own quiet charm when fresh white snow blankets the ground.) We offer a large assortment of wonderful fresh organic loose-leaf tea, served any time of day with our homemade shortbread butter cookies. We are very highly rated, with many rave reviews. Our main house was built in the 1880's, adding to its charm. We have ten guest rooms, each with its individual character and amenities. Finish elements vary by room (hardwood floors, bathtubs, skylights, writing desks, sofa sleepers, fireplaces, etc.; for example, the Huron room with private, heated, soaking tub — Note to return guests: We replaced the jetted tub with a soaking tub because of noise and other issues.) For those wishing to conduct business during their stay, high-speed wireless is available throughout, and our common area features two guest computers with print, fax, copy and scan capability. Boulder has lots of great restaurants (a few requiring long advance reservations), and as concierge we delight in helping visitors find what they are looking for, be it Thai, Indian, Northern Italian, Organic, Vegetarian, Fresh, or the famous Boulder-Dushanbe Teahouse.
We have owned the Rose (the business) since July, 2004. Changes started slowly, but then took off once we gained confidence. Today the Rose reflects our slightly eclectic blend of East and West - the Rose may now best be described as "Zen/Victorian-light". Well... you have to see it. More importantly, the Rose reflects our values of taking care of whoever walks in the door. We are fortunate to have a delightful staff of friendly and hardworking young people. Jessika ran the Rose day-to-day until Natalie came along in 2013 (finally!). [The photo was taken in 2014 on a vacation of our own.]
Experience Full Service Eco-Conscious Hospitality when you stay at our unique Inn located in the heart of Boulder. Begin your day with our Organic Breakfast, then we will serve you tea in our garden after you have meditated in our Zendo, and then head to Pearl Street, just a short walk from our Inn!
