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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The sauna and cold plunge were nice to use in the morning after a run along the rapids which are 10 steps out the front door. Super clean, AC was nice and cold, plus the breakfast was great after hiking the night before. The next time I’m here I’ll be booking with Foot of the Mountain no doubt

We really enjoyed our stay! Everyone was really friendly. There is a rustic feel and look that made it feel a bit like stepping back into simpler times. The park across the street was great!
Jeremy was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. My only complaint would be the bathroom was dated and the shower was very stained. Overall, it was a great experience!
