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 what people might think of as a five star hotel. If you are comfortable with a motel of this style and age, I would highly recommend it.

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 other staff members their services were satisfactory. (Way to go Brigette!)

I would strongly recommend The Foot of the Mountain as a place to stay while in Boulder Colorado.

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, the room size was fine, and the location was GREAT, but I'm not sure if I would stay here again.

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 occurred. I immediately booked a six consecutive nights' stay. My late night arrival from the airport was smoothly taken care of in advance. By the time I left the comfortable room which I had used as my base of operations I felt close to the excellent staff ... like they were old friends. It is without hesitation that I recommend trying out the ambiance of this special place only slightly off the beaten path.
