This place has upscale motel vibes with fun amenities like a bouldering wall, lounge with games and ping-pong, fire pits and s’more’s, sauna and hot tub, and on-site bar. I appreciated the outdoorsy decor and pour-over in-room coffee provided. There is a burger shack right next door, and the location is centrally walkable to the university campus, Pearl St and 28th St shops. Very friendly and helpful staff too!
There is no in-room fridge and microwave, but there is a microwave in the bar area and coolers/ice provided so this wasn’t an inconvenience for me. Some better breakfast and healthier snack options could be nice - currently just things like oatmeal packets and granola bars available for purchase.

All of the community spaces were excellent for our group - spacious too. Location was perfect. Loved the happy hours - great selections and prices. All the staff were courteous, gracious, and friendly.
Updates to the rooms would be great - it's an older motel. Priority - bathroom updates (toilets were new!), new carpet, and better lighting. The fitness room needs attention - towels, water, mats, and one of the peloton bike seats needed to be fixed, as well as the screen. We also couldn't figure out how to log into peloton. It's pricey for an older motel.

We ended up at Basecamp Hotel Boulder because of a medical emergency, which left us without a car. We moved there from another hotel because of location. The walkable distance to Pearl Street from Basecamp and to the nearby intersection where there is a full handful of different excellent places to eat proved the wisdom of our switch. We feared it might prove too funky (particularly to a couple in our 70s) but it wasn't at all. The vibe is good. The room is not large, but it was very clean and comfortable, cute, thoughtful, personal and functional. The toilet and shower room - the sink is outside- was a little narrow, but not problemmatic. The ice chest instead of a refrigerator was unusual, but clever and worked for us. Thete was some socializing at nights, but it never got loud and ended at 11. Finally, the staff we dealt with were without exception all wonderful - bright, engaged, pleasant, helpful and capable. We encounteted a family emergency during our stay. Jonathan, who is outfront most and with whom we dealt with most, in particular was responsive, helpful and engaged. I think that the company should give him a big handful of cash in recognition of his effort and value.
There was a slow leak related to the toilet in our room, that I suspect afflicts the toilets in other rooms as well, that needs to be resolved right away. The lighting on the room was generally very good, except that the desk could have used a light that shone down and illuminated whatever you.might be working on, such as your laptop or papers.

The location was very convenient, easy walk to downtown boulder and free parking. Also very near a bus stop to/from the Boulder bus station which is convenient if you arrive on the airport bus AB1 as we did. The room was spacious and clean. It is a motel-style room and layout, with free coffee making facilities (and teabags at reception when we asked). The additional amenities were well kept and seemed clean. Unfortunately not enough time to use the sauna and hot tub, but we used the washing facilities on the first night when some sun cream exploded in my suitcase - the lady behind the desk even locked up a little late for me to let the cycle finish. We would stay here again if we come back to Boulder.
Tiny bathroom - but ok for short stay.

The room was very good, this place probably was an old motel but very nicely done up, with nice common areas (small climbing wall, ping pong, terrace with 'camp'fire). Walkable to Pearl Street, but not super close In the summer we stayed at the University Inn, but if we return, I prefer Basecamp
Our stay was prepaid via booking, yet at the end they wanted to charge us an extra $20. The explanation was something about how booking.com charged for taxes, and they refunded it immediately, but if I had not looked and just waited for the email receipt it would have been a mess. Not clear whether the issue was due to the hotel or to booking.com, but I book quite a few rooms with booking every year, and I have never had this issue elsewhere

Refurbished motel that has a vibrant, youthful approach, aimed at those who love nature and the outdoors. Lots of design choices make it seem like you are staying at a cabin in the woods, such as vintage lamps, and an ice chest that doubles as footrest. The linens were super clean and comfortable, as was the bed. Also liked the outdoor firepits, bar and common area, with drinks selection and makings for s'mores. With a glass of wine by the firepit, it really felt like a fun campout. The common area has a climbing wall. The guest laundry was quite convenient. The location is very close to the university as well as Pearl Street mall. Although we had a rental car, we kept it parked at Basecamp and hiked everywhere around Boulder. We did end up driving to see Chautauqua and NCAR, as that was just a bit too far on a hot day.
Nothing really important. We tested the water in the hot tub and found it to be ice cold, but we hadn't intended on using it. Also, our bathroom was rather tiny, although adequate and clean.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We had a problem with our initial room and they moved us straight away. Room was very spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed, good shower and plenty of storage. They also provide all toiletries and a large cool box for food as well as a kettle. Aircon worked well. The places has plenty of free parking. There's a climbing wall and table tennis, plus sauna/jacuzzi to relax in. The bar has local beers and there's nice outdoor seating with firepits. They provide a complimentary 'grab n go' breakfast with tea/coffee and muffins/fruit/yoghurt etc. The location is perfect, about a 10-15 min walk from Pearl street, and about 5 mins from the Boulder Creek path and around 5-10mins from the centre of the University campus. There is also a charging hub for the hireable city eBikes about 200 yards down the road, although we couldn't use these as you need an American mobile phone number to create an account.
Could provide tea/coffee in the room would be nice.

The room was very basic but it was clean and well laid out, had a nice bathroom (with good water pressure in the shower and sink), and the location was right in the heart of the city close to the CU Boulder campus and a lot of the local shops and restaurants. I really liked that the room had recycling options rather than just trash cans and ways for conserving water if needed. Also awesome that they had laundry rooms on site and open fire pits for just hanging out later in the evening if you want to stay outside when it starts to get chillier.
The overhead lights were a little harsh - I guess in keeping with the summer camp theme - but other than that I honestly loved the room and the time I spent there.

Stayed here for 3 nights and the room was just as we expected. No frills, but it met all of our needs. The bed was very nice and the AC did a good job of keeping the room cool. The room was clean and it smelled clean too. The location was perfect as it is in a quiet residential area located between campus and Pearl St and within walking distance of both. I would definitely stay here again for a short trip.
Nothing at all. I was really satisfied. I knew what to expect and it met all expectations. It would be nice if they had an outdoor hot tub.

The amenities were amazing, and open late! It made staying in at nights soooo enjoyable. The hot tub was clean and so much fun, the climbing wall was so exciting, and the bonfire pit was such a fun surprise!! We even indulged in a beer bucket for super cheap during happy hour, and got to enjoy it on the deck. It’s a short walk across property to snarfs, and we got to each it during the fire too. Such a great location from pearl st aswell!!!
N/A it was amazing!!!
