Great property conveniently located with very friendly staff. Fire pit, hot tub and sauna plus game room. The rooms are a bit older but totally fine. They also allowed us to check in early as a courtesy after flying for 17 hours been coming to Boulder for six years first time I stayed here definitely the best choice. John at the front desk is super cool.

Unique take on an old motel stay! Check in was easy, though parking was tight for our F150. Great hot tub, sauna, and common area—we grabbed burgers from around the corner and brought them back to eat at the tables.

Basecamp Boulder is a really fun place to stay. The rooms aren’t fancy but they’re great if you’re just making it your “basecamp” and out hiking, biking, and enjoying the Boulder area all day, which is what we did. The rec room is an added bonus and a fun place to gather. Having coin laundry right there was very helpful. We’ll definitely stay there again!

Great bang for your buck!

Place was adorable, thoughtfully re-decorated, really comfy bed, wonderfully friendly service, great little bar and plenty to do onsite. The carpeting was shabby and shredding though which changed the feeling of cleanliness.
