The Basecamp Boulder is a gem. We had always wanted to stay so this visit to see our son, we stayed for 3 days. The staff is so eager to help in any way they can. They have a darling lobby cafe with espresso coffees ,light snacks, fruit, beer and wine, water. Fire pits and lounging areas outside are super cool. We enjoyed the hot tub and sauna everyday. This location cannot be beat. We walked to Pearl St and campus, the Hill. The management team is fabulous. The rooms are comfy with very nice bedding. Love it. We will be back soon!

We loved this place; beds were comfortable, the people were nice, and the price was right. However, our neighbors were super loud. The heater was broken and they gave us a space heater, which is great, but I was worried about safety. The TV also didn't work and the drapes were not working. I might have gotten the unlucky room.

10/10, 5 stars all the way. We absolutely loved Basecamp. Thanks to a fortunate turn of events (and their sweet, awesome staff) we got the camping-themed room which blew our minds. The recreational areas where even better than expected, and we made sure we used all of it (hot tub, ping pong, coloring, climbing wall…) and the location was perfect. Looking forward to coming back in the spring or summer to make use of the coolers and other fun stuff they have for guests.

I liked the outdoor adventure theme in the renovation and decor of Basecamp Colorado. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only real negative is that the wall unit necessary for heat (or AC, if it were hot out) was so loud, we couldn't leave it running overnight. So we heated our room to be very warm then turned it off overnight so that we could sleep!

The staff was awesome and outdoor facilities such as fire pit, TV room, coffee bar, etc are really nice touches. It's extremely convenient to walk to Pearl Street, CU Boulder, and a lot of stores and restaurants. My room was on the first floor and we had a very noisy family above us. It sounded like they were lifting weights at 2:00 in the morning. I did tell the staff the next day and they must have said something. Our room smelled really musty/ mildew , if my daughter who has asthma would have stayed in it she probably would have an asthma attack. A few things didn't work in the room properly , but to be fair we didn't complain. Another downside of staying on the first floor is there are only blackout shades and nothing else , so if you want to open your windows everyone can look straight into your room.

This was such a great little place that had the perfect location/distance to all the dining/shopping areas and trails. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. The towels were oversized and amazing! The rec room, bar, sauna, hot tub were definitely a bonus. The workout room was small with only 2 peloton bikes and some dumbbells but we made it work! Highly recommend if you are looking for a casual laid back place to stay!

This is an old motel that has been updated with a cute rock climbing / camping theme. The lobby & coffee counter are very nice. There are fire pits outside with comfortable seating & s’more roasting. The common room looked inviting with a short climbing wall & games. Was told there is an exercise studio with pelotons on property. Feel unnecessary when in Boulder with all the outdoors available - why exercise in your cramped motel? Location was good - close to CU and to Pearl Street. Our room smelled musty, stain on carpet, dim lighting that had mismatched lightbulbs ( one soft light, other bedside lamp was bright white ) , the shower fixture was very loose & wobbly - hard to determine temp and the shower rod was falling off so curtain would not stay closed. Since this is a motel, all room doors face outdoors and people walk by your room - there is no sheer to cover window. It’s either black out closed or wide open for all to see in. The bathroom is very tiny and the parking lot is very tight. Staff was all very pleasant & hotel exterior looks good. I think the room rates are much too high for the quality of the rooms.

Basecamp Boulder is one of the most enjoyable places I have ever stayed. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and has a great knowledge of the local area. It's in a central location in Boulder and accessible to everything, most of it on foot. And the vibe is immaculate, from the hot tub to the fire pits to the local craft beer on tap. Would definitely return.
