The location is great, tucked into a residential area within close walking distance to Pearl Street Mall. I liked the unique personality of the motel, with its amenities like the climbing wall/lounge area. The lobby area coffee/beverages and beer bar is a nice addition. It's motel style rooms reflect an outdoorsy vibe compatible with the Boulder lifestyle, are comfortable and offer the basic room amenities.

I had the unfortunate experience of having my phone taken by another guest from the jacuzzi/sauna area the night before I was flying home and the staff was super supportive and helpful, as I didn’t know if it was stollen or what happened. Another guest had taken it accidentally, but without the help of the office manager I would not have been able to sort this out before flying out the next morning.

Easy cute stay in Boulder

We loved our stay at Basecamp. The hotel was quiet and very comfortable. The decor was so cute and we really appreciated this. It was walking distance to Pearl which made for a nice/safe night. The hot tub was also nice!
