This is a really nice place to stay. The room was beautiful and checkin was easy. Nice walking trails and the creek is a 2 minute walk from the motel. Breakfast was very nice too. I would love to come and stay here again!

Continuous motel since 1936. Very quaint. Manager was extremely helpful. Great price. Located right at the foothills, great for hiking, but almost downtown. Highly recommended.

Everything was excellent except the parking situation. We were in room 18 and our spot was in an awkward corner. If someone parked in the spot behind us (the $10/night parking), it was a struggle to get out. Thankfully we had rented a small car so it wasn't a big issue and we could finagle our way out. With that being said, that definitely won't stop us from returning to this hotel in the future.

My room had no microwave, had to ask for clean towels, although the service person had made my bed. For the price it could have been better. Also, the continental is very very basic, nothing warm!

Amazing location and staff. Loved the rustic cabin atmosphere, felt very homey. It was also amazing to be able to walk across the street to a beautiful creek and a number of hiking trails. I’ll be back!

It was the most reasonably priced accommodation in Boulder and close to center of town. Patti and friends in the office were on top of things and friendly. Breakfast was good with healthy options. Could add some yogurt. Beds were comfortable but not enough warmth, had to ask for more blankets and other customers felt the same. The motel is very old and had lots of cabin type character. I would stay there again. They also had an added separate added sauna which had a plunge bath and informative young men encouraging those a little hesitant. Across the small street is the small river that runs through Boulder. Lovely to sit there with coffee.

This is a rustic little option away from the usual chain hotels. Came for UC Boulder graduation. The room was as expected, except I would have liked an additional blanket or comforter and much better quality pillows. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming.
