There were people outside my window. Barking dogs. No privacy when the weather was so nice.

Liked: Cleanliness
Cute layout. Very spacious. Privacy was not as expected. Could not open the windows for fear of the dog and men behind our room, who had a tent setup for the Fire and Ice service sauna. I was not able to enjoy solitude because of the talking up until 9 pm. Bummer. The GFI outlet in the bathroom stopped working. Had to use the ONE outlet by the bed above the fridge. Bummer. Parking was hard. Thank goodness we had a small Crosstrek rental. Bummer. Lady in the lobby through a fit over polital views. That was a total BUMMER. However, The trails were top rating, and even though all the negatives were explained, I think I would still come back.

Could be cleaner. The room smelled liked cigarettes and the bath tub was stained. The sheets were stained. But that’s okay, we had a really good time and the area was so beautiful, it was a nice stay and I would definitely come back.

I like the funkiness of the motel. It is 90 years old and in a pretty, quiet part of town. However, it seems that there has been limited maintenance, in the last decades. There are also no drawers in which to put clothing and personal items. The shower and shampoos and soaps looked so undesirable that my wife and I didn’t even bother showering there.

The motel is a must stay of you are in Boulder! The rustic atmosphere was very unique and very Boulderesque. The rooms have all wood interior and have the look of vintage appliance (fridge and phone). The paint was peeling in areas on the ceiling in the room, but other than that I was a great stay and will definitely be back!!

Quick Boulder Adventure

The setting is beautiful. The room was small but clean and comfortable. The location is across the street from a beautiful creek/park and extensive trail system. The outside grounds would be good if it would have been warmer. Breakfast was very comfortable and adequate.
