Foot of the Mountain was a quaint motel that was a wonderful basecamp to visit Boulder. We visited for a recent football game, and the motel was only a 10 minute car ride from campus. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure that we were enjoying our stay. The quick hike up into Boulder Creek Path was scenic and simple, but filled with great interior views of the foothills.

We've stayed twice within the year and we absolutely love it more every time. The city of Boulder is so incredible, the staff is always so friendly and caring of their guests. Right at the mouth of the canyon, so scenic and peaceful. 10/10

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.

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 was in the area to hike and visit family. Very basic and rustic but clean. The location was great, close to everything and a beautiful park across the street. We didn't have time for the sauna. Hopefully next time. Parking was easy

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.
