Budget Vibes

Had high hopes for this motel in Boulder. It gets high marks for proximity to Pearl St (10 min walk), grocery stores & amenities (2-min drive), rentable bikes, plus a burger place next door. It gets middling reviews for the things that were advertised but not available, such as a working sauna, s’mores kits & dependable WiFi. It gets meh reviews for the super tight parking, a weird smell in our room, the lack of vacuuming (enjoyed crunching the previous guests’ potato chip remnants for a few days) & lack of decent lighting, and the minuscule bathroom. Our room needs some maintenance love—bathroom door hook about to fall off, the beadboard paneling that is buckling, etc.

I like the basecamp theme and the coolers/decor in the rooms. The air conditioning worked, but I wonder if I could have set it to on vs. auto. It would only shut down for a few minutes and restart to stay cool.

We just had one night here. The community room was so much fun! We had 2 kids with us (6 and 1 year old) and they wanted to spend every second here. We played ping pong and board games and legos and colored on the art easel. Mom and dad grabbed a beer from the bar. It was so awesome. We chilled in the hot tub before bed and then got take out from a very nearby diner for breakfast the next day. It was a really great stay for a young family.

Great stay! Only thing is it said the Pearl street mall was a 10 minute walk. It’s a 10 minute walk only if you walk a 10 min mile. It’s 1.1miles away😂

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.

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!
