Out of all the times I've been to a gym, I reckon about 50% would have been boulder-only sessions. These days, it's pretty much all I do.

Some of the things that would keep me coming back:
- lots of clear floor space for stretching etc.
- well ventilated, good air flow - no sweaty foot stink.
- frequent problem changes
- a mix of easy/medium/hard problems - you need something simple to warm up on.
- comfy mats :)

Good luck. I'll be there.
