Stayed there for 3 nights to get away from it all, and this just fit the bill. Not fancy by ANY means, but even my "budget" single room had a very comfortable bed, clean bathroom, great shower, TV and refrigerator. It's located at the west end of Boulder, just before the highway starts the climb to 8,200 ft altitude Nederland.... More

....if you want away from downtown, close to nature, yet near enough to walk to dinner! Right at the Foot of the Mtns as described with bike/walking trail across parking lot and trails to other hiking nearby. Staff was super friendly and helpful as I had to ask trail mileage for my 10 mile run the next morning. Nice walk... More

Driving by I thought this 30's style rustic motel looked cool and unique. Reasonable $$ I paid $65 for a single.queen .. and within a mile of the famous Pearl St restaurant/bar district. Boulder creek flows just below the Motel, while a diversion aquaduct runs behind the motel rigjt under your window. Cozy courtuard area lends itself to a more... More

The Foot of the Mountain motel is a quaint little motel in a quiet neighborhood. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the place is quaint and cozy. I occupied a single bed room and it was small, but comfortable. The room was very clean; the bathroom was pristine, with a very high pressure shower that was very soft... More

If you like something that has character, is cozy, convenient, out of the ordinary and historical- you'll like the Foot of the Mountain Motel. Its within walking distance of town and the Boulder Creek Path is just out the door. Historic cabin style motor court. We had a family gathering and took up four of the rooms. It was really... More

We stayed at FOTM for five nights and had a great experience there. The location was really ideal for walking into town through the park and along the Boulder Creek path. The room was very clean and everyone we had contact with was friendly. I will definitely stay again if I find myself back in Boulder (which I hope I... More

In a beautiful setting. Old with not much updating, but things work and the staff is helpful.

We stayed in Boulder for a quick weekend trip to Eldora Mountain to snowboard. We were looking for something with a little attitude and a lodge feel, so this was perfect for us. The staff were very nice and welcoming. The building is very old and quaint. Rooms are very simple with no fluff, clean, and welcoming. Motel is very... More

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your visit to Boulder and our quaint motel. In response to the uninvited guests of winter...we apologize. According to Jeff Mitton, the chair of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Colorado, the Boxelder bugs sneak inside buildings, homes and offices all throughout the mountain range in search of...

We are low maintainence travelers so we were looking for something close and inexpensive. Almost felt like we were camping. Location is close enough to walk everywhere. Don't stay here if you are looking for a pampered experience. No air conditioners and small bathrooms but just what we wanted.

My wife and youngest daughter stayed at The Foot of the Mountain Motel in October for a long weekend while visiting another daughter at CU. Look, if you're looking for a cookie-cutter chain hotel, there are plenty of those options in Boulder, but FOTMM ain't it. It is quaint, old fashioned (maybe just old) and the rooms and baths are...

It sounds like this guest enjoyed the full rhelm of what Boulder has to offer. Housekeeping starts at about 9AM, based on occupancy levels. They clean all the rooms checking out for the day and then clean the rooms staying over night, or 'stays', unless a guest has a special request on the timing of when their room is cleaned.... More
