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. More

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

We stayed here in October, 2011 while visiting family near by, did not make reservations, just stopped in to see if anything was available for 2 to 3 nights over the weekend. We gave our credit card to book for possibly 3 nights, for sure 2 nights. We were charged for 3 nights and when we told them we needed... More

When a guest has personally seen the room that they are guaranteed to get and a reservation is made in person, a confirmation is then given right on the spot. This is an understanding that the room will work for them knowing the limitations of the handicap and what the room has to offer. The confirmation also has the cancellation... More

Near downtown Boulder, the least expensive lodging you'll find. The rooms are not fancy but clean and well maintained. On a quiet side street. Pleasant owners. Located just across the street from a nice city park and the Boulder Creek path - great connector to the Pearl St area, or for jogging/biking. Beautiful area. Will definitely return for future visits... More

We were passing thru Boulder on a cross country trip on 8/22/11. We were looking for reasonable accommodations near town. This hotel was rustic but comfortable. We were a little concerned because of no AC in August but we opened the windows and the breeze was wonderful. We were close to downtown so the location was perfect. Everyone was pleasant... More

We were in Boulder to see Jonny Lang and for an engagement trip. All was wonderful. The staff was incredible. Thanks for the tips about Boulder from Mark, and Bridgett was wonderful in sharing our engagement moment. Thanks so much for the card and well wishes. We will be back. Probably bring our parents out. Thanks again from your new... More

Very nice place in Boulder - off the beaten path and extremely quiet. Great for our famioly, in particular, as the canyon/park across the street has a wonderful playground and a fantastic cycling/walk path that follows the creek all the way downtown - beautiful! The hotel staff is great - and "on the ball" when it comes to service. Impeccable!.... More

Ordinarily this motel would be a decent value in a great location in Boulder. The rooms are basic but fine, and the folks at the desk were pleasant and helpful. However, in my stay in room 16, I was eaten alive by bedbugs. I caught them in the act on the last of my 3 nights and had over 75... More

Tracking the traveling habits of guests and all the variables associated with traveling is difficult. Any indication of any situation is treated immediately. We treated the room extensively after this guest checked out, not knowing if the guest brought this with them or not. We cannot fix what was not broken. There was no indication prior to this guest of... More

We stayed here for a week while on vacation in Boulder. I will be back to visit Boulder again and I will definitely stay at Foot of the Mountain again. As other reviewers have said, if you are looking for super fancy with lots of amenities then look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a clean, comfortable room with... More

We are so happy this guest enjoyed their stay. Our Wi-fi is not shut down at any point by us, although we did find that there was 'interference' of some sort during a 2 week period of time...very unusual and we couldn't locate the source. It did, however, suddenly go away (?). We also have 'loaner' items in the office... More
