Boulder is an expensive place to stay, and Foot of the Mountain is refreshingly economical (we paid $90 a night). If you're not looking for a top-of-the-line, pamper-me-like-i'm-a-princess type experience, you cannot go wrong with this charming little place. The rooms are perfect--cozy, extremely clean, with soft, clean linens and towels. I thought the wood paneling was fun and distinguished... more

We were disappointed in our stay here for three nights. Reading other reviews, I think reviewers are not looking at this property objectively. First of all, the staff (you see only the front desk person, who changes often) is friendly. Sort of. That said, this place reminds me of what you would get if you stayed at one of those... more

If you want fancy, this isn't the place, but my family loved it here. The motel is right across the street from a public park through which Boulder Creek runs. In the summer you can tube down the creek. Also going through the park is a walking path that takes you along the creek to 9th street -- just a... more

We stayed here for three nights in May. For hiking the location was great as you could do some hikes starting from the hotel. Also, the river below is nice. The staff were great and the motel was nice and clean. I rate this only average, because it is in fact, an older rustic property with charm -- but not... more

I was planning a trip to Denver and decided to stay in Boulder for the duration of my two weeks in Colorado. I find Foot of the Mountain Motel and it's staff to be helpful and also delightful. Brigette, who happens to be the manager of the motel did all she could to make my stay enjoyable. As for the... more

Foot of the Mountain has a great location and cute little cabins. But it is old and musty, has cramped bathrooms with some mold on the shower units, creaky floors, and saggy ceilings with water stains. I was really unenchanted with how clearly I could hear my next-door-neighbors' conversation in the bathroom. The wireless internet was complementary and very fast,... more

We are 75 years old and take care in cleaning every day. We are AAA (surprise) inspected every year. AAA quote,"This property continues to have excellent housekeeping & maintenance"

I was extremely fortunate to call Foot-of-the-Mountain Motel directly prior to a trip I needed to make to Boulder (mostly personal business, part vacation) on short notice -- completely ignoring the fact that my visit coincided with both Memorial Day holiday weekend, the Boulder Creek Festival, and the Bolder Boulder Marathon. I was told that a rare cancellation had just... more

My wife and I have a cabin in the mountains and from time to time we stay at the Silver Saddle Motel instead of a long drive home. We were skiing Eldora and it was really snowing. So we decided to eat at the Fantastic Walnut Brewery (we always do) and stay in Boulder for the night. Well the Silver... more

We stayed at the Foot of the Mountain Motel for 2 nights at the end of a 2 week vacation in Montana and Wyoming. It was nice to be able to dry out the tent on the sunny table in the meadow out back. Try to get a room that backs up to the stream and meadow; construction is ongoing... more

My husband and I stayed in the Flagstaff suite for 7 nights and from what I recall, paid a slightly discounted rate of $135/night because of the length of our stay. I was surprised by the cleanliness of the suite, especially since it looked like it was outfitted sometime in the 70s. The suite was huge; I'd say it was... more

This suite is like a small apartment. It was the old owners quarters that has been seperated out into 2 suites: The Flagstaff & the Hideaway. The first year the suites were available was 2004. At the time of reservations and at check in, it's important to review safety procedures and cleaning care of such a large space so the...
