Boulder's BEST Kept Secret: Fairfield Inn & Suites Longmont!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Boulder's… whispers …best kept secret: the Fairfield Inn & Suites Longmont. Forget those overpriced, pretentious Boulder hotels! This place is where it's at, and I'm about to tell you why, warts and all.
First, the SEO stuff, because let's be real, that's why we're here:
- Accessibility: Okay, this is key. Wheelchair accessible? Absolutely. They've got it nailed. Elevator? Check. They are really taking care of the disabled and their unique needs.
- Internet Access: Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it WORKS. This is a MUST. Internet [LAN]? Yep, in-room, if you're old-school. Internet services? They do it all.
- Cleanliness and safety: Let's be brutally honest, travel can suck, but its crucial to feel safe. the Fairfield Inn & Suites Longmont seems to get it right. Anti-viral cleaning products? You betcha. Daily disinfection in common areas? Yup. Hand sanitizers everywhere. Rooms sanitized between stays? That's the goal, right? They claim to have Professional-grade sanitizing services, and they have Hygiene certifications. They really do take this seriously. The best part? They also have Safe dining setup
Now for the messy, honest, and somewhat rambling review:
I've lived in this corner of Colorado for ages, and I swear, sometimes it feels like everyone forgets Longmont even exists. But that's their loss, because the Fairfield Inn & Suites Longmont? It's a little slice of heaven.
Rooms and Amenities (The Good, the Bad, and the Slightly Odd):
Okay, first things first: Wi-Fi. Glorious, dependable, free Wi-Fi. Thank the heavens. I'm a writer, people. The internet is basically my lifeblood. And it extended to Internet access – LAN as well. The rooms are your standard hotel rooms, but the bed? SO COMFORTABLE. Seriously, like sinking into a cloud. Blackout curtains? Yes! Bliss for light sleepers like myself, and the Alarm clock actually works! I can't tell you how many hotels I've stayed at with alarm clocks that are permanently stuck on a different time zone. The Seating area? Great for sprawling out with my laptop and a coffee. Coffee/tea maker is a lifesaver, although the coffee itself? Well, it's hotel coffee. Ya know? I'd grade it a B+. Refrigerator is a game changer! Free bottled water, which is always appreciated. Non-smoking rooms are a must.
Things to do/Ways to Relax (Or How I Spent My Days):
Okay, let's talk fun. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is beautiful, and I made a fool of myself using it. And its the perfect place for swimming! Fitness center? They have it. I didn't use it. Don't judge me. I intended to use it. But hey, I'm on vacation. So sue me.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Food Adventures):
Okay, this where the Fairfield Inn & Suites Longmont shines. Breakfast [buffet]? Absolutely! (Though, again, it's a buffet, so manage your expectations.) The Buffet in restaurant is a must. They have the essential condiments so you can adjust as needed. Coffee/tea in restaurant to wake you up! I actually went to the Asian breakfast. It was divine, and honestly, one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had. They had everything from fresh fruit to the typical hotel offerings. The Restaurants is also a delight.
Services and Conveniences (Making Life Easier):
Cash withdrawal? Yep. Concierge? They're there to help. Daily housekeeping? ALWAYS appreciated. Dry cleaning? Yup. Laundry service? They have it! Everything you need to relax.
My Biggest Takeaway: The People!
Okay, this is the BIGGEST reason why the Fairfield Inn & Suites Longmont is "Boulder's Best Kept Secret". The staff. They are genuinely nice. I'm talking, like, actually friendly, helpful, and don't make you feel like a burden. I had a small issue with my room (the TV wouldn't turn on - first world problems, I know). But the front desk lady? Sweetest person ever. She fixed it in minutes, and even apologized profusely, and gave me a discount for the inconvenience. They really do know how to treat people right.
The Quirks (Because No Place is Perfect):
- The Bar area, while convenient, lacks a certain pizazz. But hey, it's a Fairfield Inn. It's not supposed to be a swanky cocktail bar.
- They allow Pets allowed unavailable. Not ideal if you want to bring your furry friend.
- The Elevator does take a minute sometimes. But hey, it gives you time to think.

Title: Longmont, Loud and a Little Lost (Itinerary-ish of a Slightly Neurotic Traveler)
Hotel Basecamp: Fairfield Inn & Suites Boulder Longmont (Longmont, CO) – Because, let's be honest, a hot breakfast and a decent bed are the anchors of sanity when you're wandering around.
Day 1: Arrival, Altitude, and the Agony of Parking
- Time: 1:00 PM - ARRIVAL! (Or, as I like to call it, "Operation Get-Through-the-Airport-Without-Embarrassing-Myself"). Landed in Denver, grabbed the rental car (a questionable choice in car-related decision-making, but hey, freedom!). The drive up felt longer than it should have, maybe because the altitude was already trying to suffocate me.
- 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM: CHECK-IN HELL (Kidding!). Actually, the Fairfield Inn was pretty painless. Front desk guy was nice, even though I probably looked like I'd wrestled a bear… which wouldn't be entirely surprising, given my packing skills.
- 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM: The Great Parking Predicament. Seriously, why is parking always such a NIGHTMARE?! I'm convinced Longmont's parking gods are actively conspiring against me. Found a spot (miracle!), and spent a solid twenty minutes hyper-analyzing its safety (was it too close to that giant truck? Would the sun melt my car?). Eventually, declared it "good enough" and bolted for the lobby.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Settle in, unpacking, finding my bearings, and enjoying the glorious, glorious peace of a hotel room. I need it. Anxiety levels are already high.
- 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Stroll around Longmont; find some place for dinner. I'm feeling adventurous, so avoid all the chains.
- 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM: Dinner at (insert local restaurant here, I haven't decided yet). I'm aiming for something with outdoor seating because, Colorado, duh. Attempt to order something I think I can pronounce without sounding like an idiot (wish me luck).
- 8:00 PM - Bedtime: Collapse into bed. Netflix and a desperate attempt to remember to drink water. Altitude headaches are already creeping in, so, ugh.
- Quirky Observation: My phone's weather app says it's sunny, but I'm pretty sure a tiny, judgmental cloud is following me.
- Emotional Reaction: Exhausted. Overwhelmed. The usual. But also, a flicker of excitement. This could be fun. Or, you know, a slow descent into madness. Only time will tell.
Day 2: Brewery Bliss and a Brush With Bureaucracy (Don't Ask)
- Morning: Breakfast at the hotel (bacon, bless). Try to look like I know what I'm doing, despite my obvious lack of coordination.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: The Brewery Crawl. Longmont has a surprising number of breweries. I'm starting at Left Hand Brewing Company (because it's famous, and, you know, gotta show a bit of class). Sample a flight, pretend to know what I'm talking about with the beer nerds, and try not to spill anything.
- Anecdote: I once tried to "taste like a professional" at a brewery and ended up spraying beer across the entire bar. The shame is still too real.
- Emotional Reaction: Elation. Beer is good. Life is (briefly) good.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch somewhere near the breweries. Preferably something easy to eat one-handed, as I'll likely be juggling a beer and a map.
- 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM: The Great Bureaucratic Battle of the Permit. (Okay, I’m exaggerating. Mostly.) Need to get a permit for something (it's boring, I won't bore you, but it's vital to my Longmont experience!). Find the right building (which involves asking a stranger because, of course, I got lost). Deal with the (possibly unfriendly) official. Pray.
- Messier Structure: This whole section is a blur. It really was a big mess. My emotions were a rollercoaster, and I wanted to scream.
- Opinionated Language: GOD, paperwork is the bane of my existence!
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Chill out. Walk off the bureaucratic rage at Roosevelt Park. Take in the scenery. Maybe go for a bike ride if I have time.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner at (another local restaurant). Perhaps I'll try something a little more adventurous.
- 7:00 PM - Bedtime: Wind down. Read a book. Try to forget about that stupid permit. Drink lots of water.
Day 3: Hiking Hysteria and the Departure Dread
- Morning: Breakfast. Pack my bags (badly).
- 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Hiking. Or, "Operation Don't-Die-of-Altitude-Sickness.". Head to Rabbit Mountain Open Space (or the nearby trails). This is where things get messy. I always underestimate the difficulty of hiking, especially in altitude. Pack layers. Pack snacks. Pack my dignity (or, well, try to).
- Anecdote: Once, on a hike, I saw a woman fall in a giant mud puddle. I wanted to help, but I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe. (I DID help, eventually.)
- Stronger Emotional Reactions: Excitement! Awe! And, let's be real, a healthy dose of "Am I going to make it?"
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch (picnic style) after the hike.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Check out of the hotel.
- 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Last-minute souvenir shopping (because I always forget). Probably buy something completely useless.
- 4:00 PM - Drive to Denver Airport: And there it is, the end of the trip.
- Departure: Depart from Denver, CO. This will be bittersweet.
- Departure Dread: Sad to leave, but also ready for a shower and a much-needed nap. Planning the next trip already. Because, well, that's just how I roll.
Final Thoughts:
This is a rough outline, people. Expect detours. Expect meltdowns. Expect me to get lost. This is the beauty of travel, right? Embracing the chaos, the imperfections, and the occasional faceplant. Longmont, you've been warned.
