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😂

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.

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!

The concept of this hotel was good. It had a fun vibe in the lobby amenities and with the decor. However, the carpets were disgusting. The smell of the room was awful and it made you wonder about the cleanliness of everything. With that said the location is excellent. Easy walk to campus.
