Kira, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked how close it was to the mountains and Boulder Creek, without being too far away from tourist destinations like Pearl St and the University. Plus, the sauna company behind the motel is very convenient.
Jonathan Christopher, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a really nice place to stay. The room was beautiful and checkin was easy. Nice walking trails and the creek is a 2 minute walk from the motel. Breakfast was very nice too. I would love to come and stay here again!

Loved the location and the rustic atmosphere. Continental breakfast was perfect for our quick morning out. Bathtub could have used some more traction....Slippery!
CLAUDIA, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a rustic motel and by that standard it’s an excellent one. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Great location near a park and walking trails. Great value. Would stay here again.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a wonderful stay with great staff! The room was cozy and beds comfortable. You can walk to Pearl Street, there’s a bike path and hiking trails nearby. I really liked the grassy area behind the hotel that was quite relaxing. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Foot of the Mountain for a memorable time!
Diana, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location

I was in the area to hike and visit family. Very basic and rustic but clean. The location was great, close to everything and a beautiful park across the street. We didn't have time for the sauna. Hopefully next time. Parking was easy
Christy, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I liked that we were right across the street from Boulder Creek. The room was clean and quiet. The kitchen, bathroom and hot tub all really need some updates though.
Kristen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was my fourth time staying at the motel and it still stands out as one of the best spots to stay in Boulder. The walk into town is simple and pleasant, there’s some nice hiking nearby, and the facilities are cosy and comfortable. Whenever I’m passing through town, this is one of the first places I look at. It’s always a pleasure to stay a night or two and enjoy coffee from the office outside the room each morning.
