We had an excellent time at the property. The location is awesome, it was just the right distance from downtown where it was walkable, yet had the cool air coming out of the mountains and off the creek.
The backyard area was the perfect place to relax any time of day.

My stay here was due to a broken elevator at my condo and recent surgery. I am unable to navigate stairs and currently get around with a walker.

My room was clean and easy for me navigate with my walker.

The staff and management at Foot of the Mountains went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and well taken care of during my stay.

I highly recommend a stay at this charming place.

Office was not open when checking in at 4:30pm. Ice machine not working. Cozy King room is COZY for sure. Room heater is basically a vintage space heater. Several pages in room \"manual\" included incorrect and dated information. The motel's name is accurate. Way too expensive for value. Will not stay here again.

We have stayed here before and so very much like the old drive-in ambience. You may hear your neighbors a little i the next roo, but the outdoor ambience and location and socializing are all wonderful.

My lower rating this visit was the very difficult check-in. I arrived at 7:30 pm so followed t..he instructions to call for remote help to sign-in, but after13 minutes, the automated message continued without anyone picking up the line...

Hotel did not keep the reservation. We made reservations at the hotel and a day before arriving to Boulder. We called the hotel to confirm our stay to find out that they do not have rooms for us even though they had the reservation.
The hotel staff refused to help
I warn anyone against staying at the hotel. You never know when they’re gonna cancel your reservation just because they feel like it.

Gave me a kettle and some tea when I arrived, bleary and windblown after a long day up the mountain. So hospitable! The breakfast was like I would make for myself at home. The room was classic old cabin, and the bathroom, up 2 wee steps, was minimally but functionally equiped, and, like the room, had walls adorned with robust panelling.

Know that the facility was constructed in 1934 based on the network/username for login and personal observation.
They have upgraded the facility as best as possible given engineering handicaps of an elderly building.
The rooms are miniscule and are best for an overnight only.
With that said, the staff is EXCEPTIONAL. They went above and beyond to accomodate any reasonable request. We had a before 7 am departure so couldn't do breakfast. They provided a microwave and coffee maker to allow us a quick breakfast. That was outstanding service.
The facility is probably as close as you'll get for access to Eldora ski area which is about 25+ minutes away through winding Boulder Canyon.

-Hot tub is for the one Executive Suite which booked before I had a chance to get it,
but was unclear about the hot tub being for exclusive use only. The sauna is available for guests though.
The lady in the office was very kind and went above and beyond for breakfast and with service.

Jana, at the front desk, was very welcoming and personable when checking in. She told me about the complimentary sauna and cold plunge by Ember and Ice that is on the property. The experience was fabulous! Everything in the room was clean except for the sheets. They didn’t seem fresh, so I asked for a new set and received them immediately. This is the second time I have stayed here and I love this little motel and location. The views are gorgeous and you can’t beat the park, creek and mountains just feet away! Everyone was really nice throughout my stay.

The Foot of the Mountain Motel is a special place with special hosts. Very kind and accommodating, and their rooms have just the right amount of rustic charm and comfort. A quintessential Boulder experience, for sure.

Foot of the Mountain was a quaint motel that was a wonderful basecamp to visit Boulder. We visited for a recent football game, and the motel was only a 10 minute car ride from campus. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure that we were enjoying our stay. The quick hike up into Boulder Creek Path was scenic and simple, but filled with great interior views of the foothills.

Just older and not super clean. Only one tiny mirror in the bathroom. Grounds were nice though.

Old motel but pretty well kept. Across the street you'll find the park along side the creek and trail. It's nothing fancy but super cozy.

The motel is in a perfect location. Right off of Boulder Creek. There is a park along Boulder Creek right across the street and easy access to the Red Rocks Trail of Boulder that goes through some really neat rock formations. The motel is very rustic. It was built in 1933 and probably has the original wood paneling. While I have no complaints about the main room (with beds (which were comfortable) and desk, the bathroom needs help. Our sink was stopped up, took forever to drain. The tub/shower surround and tub/shower were dirty. And the tub/shower surround very definitely needed to be replaced, or at least re-caulked. The shower pressure however was great and the water did not pool while taking a shower.

This is a great, rustic property. The staff was friendly and the place was just quaint. If you are looking for the most modern, upscale place, this is not it, but if you want a really cool memory this is your place.

Vintage hotel felt like reliving part of my childhood, but comfortable. Breakfast not fancy but got the job done. Loved the sauna and plunge.

We've stayed twice within the year and we absolutely love it more every time. The city of Boulder is so incredible, the staff is always so friendly and caring of their guests. Right at the mouth of the canyon, so scenic and peaceful. 10/10

Too much money for what you get

It’s a great location, but we paid $290 for our small 2 queen cabin. It’s an old cabin and while it was clean, there’s nothing that warrants spending $290/night. The only reason we booked it is because of an emergency stay in Boulder. Besides the hefty bill, it was nice. But a tip: put coffee makers in each room. I had to walk across the parking lot in my jammies to get my morning wake up coffee.

Loved the location and the rustic atmosphere. Continental breakfast was perfect for our quick morning out. Bathtub could have used some more traction....Slippery!

Great location

I was in the area to hike and visit family. Very basic and rustic but clean. The location was great, close to everything and a beautiful park across the street. We didn't have time for the sauna. Hopefully next time. Parking was easy

We stayed in the Flagstaff which is the first owners home and the only space that has a very large kitchen sitting room. Two bedrooms, a dining room and a very small bathroom. The place is like stepping back in time, and that was fun for us seniors. We enjoyed being able to stay in such a large apartment because it gave us the area to invite friends to enjoy a few friends over for dinners. The only thing I would ask the property to do is some important maintenance of putting knobs back in cupboards and a light switch. Also fix the h bath tub nob on the hot side so it doesn't continuously move and burn a person. That's what would have made it perfect. That was it. It was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay and we would probably stay again.
