We had a wonderful stay at Foot of the Mountain Motel! The location was one of our favorite parts, being so close to the river and Eben G Park and it made it easy to go for a drive up Boulder Canyon. The rooms were super cute, cozy, and had a lot of character, making the stay feel comfortable and relaxing. We also loved the backyard space, which was a great spot to unwind after exploring the area. Another huge plus was that it was within walking distance of Pearl Street, so we could easily walk to restaurants, shops, and everything downtown has to offer. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Boulder!

This is one of the best places I have ever stayed and it’s probably the best motel in Boulder. Everyone here is so accommodating and nice. The rooms are great. They’re mountain and cabin vibes. You can easily walk to all the action on Pearl Street. Tif is the absolute best and she was so helpful with everything.
