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.

Old motel but pretty well kept. Across the street you'll find the park along side the creek and trail. It's nothing fancy but super cozy.

The motel is in a perfect location. Right off of Boulder Creek. There is a park along Boulder Creek right across the street and easy access to the Red Rocks Trail of Boulder that goes through some really neat rock formations. The motel is very rustic. It was built in 1933 and probably has the original wood paneling. While I have no complaints about the main room (with beds (which were comfortable) and desk, the bathroom needs help. Our sink was stopped up, took forever to drain. The tub/shower surround and tub/shower were dirty. And the tub/shower surround very definitely needed to be replaced, or at least re-caulked. The shower pressure however was great and the water did not pool while taking a shower.
