This property has not been updated for a number of years. The carpet was not clean. The worst thing was the noise. The heating unit was noisy, so we had to turn it off in order to sleep. We heard people in the room above us off and on all night. At 7:00 AM, a garbage truck backed into the property. I will not be staying here again.

Base Camping in Boulder

Lodging at the BaseCamp in Boulder is somewhat of a unique experience. The property owner has obviously put a lot of thought into setting an outdoorsy vibe, though it can appear over the top if you're a true outdoor enthusiast. Nonetheless, it's unique and very fitting for Boulder. The front desk staff was very nice and accommodating, the rooms were clean, and the location is very walkable. My only complaint is that the shower in room 110 could use a little TLC.

Just ok

The check in was nice. Room was a little run down. It was priced about $50 more that Marriotts nearby that offer streaming. They had a sauna which was cool but half of the stone warmers were broken so it didn’t get that hot. I kinda wish I’d taken my money elsewhere but it was a bed.

So cute!

Quick overnighter. Was very impressed with the amenities and design for the price. Was obviously a renovated old motel, but the design was so original. Bar with drinks/coffee/snacks. Activity lounge area, firepit seating. It was great. Only negative was doorjam in bathroom looked too have some water damage. But the place was perfect for my needs. Exceeded my expectations.

In the middle of the night a circuit somewhere went out and there was no power in the room and in the bathroom. There was no staff as the reception, incredibly, doesn’t open until 9am. If you have a problem in the night here you are out of luck.
