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

Continuous motel since 1936. Very quaint. Manager was extremely helpful. Great price. Located right at the foothills, great for hiking, but almost downtown. Highly recommended.

Excellent customer service, the woman who greeted me at check in was delightful and made sure we knew of any great places to eat, especially for our child. Comfy and quiet rooms that make it feel like more than just a motel

Amazing location and staff. Loved the rustic cabin atmosphere, felt very homey. It was also amazing to be able to walk across the street to a beautiful creek and a number of hiking trails. I’ll be back!

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.

This is a rustic little option away from the usual chain hotels. Came for UC Boulder graduation. The room was as expected, except I would have liked an additional blanket or comforter and much better quality pillows. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming.
