At the foot of the mountain lies the Silver Saddle Motel. We personally loved the whole experience. We had been looking for a comfortable motel in Boulder, and found out that the Boulder Mountain Lodge was FULL of drunks, so late in the afternoon we stopped at another motel down the street from the Silver Saddle, in which we found the onwer very rude and unpleasant. Disapointed by the 2 previous motels, we pulled into the Silver Saddle. After reading all the other reviews, I was amazed that the guests could be so cruel. All ... read more

The staff was exceptionally hospitable. They provided anything we asked for from extra towels to directions around town. The location couldn't be better for enjoying all Boulder has to offer from the CU campus to downtown to easy walks and super hikes. The motel was recommended to us by a family member who stayed there in May and was happy and our stay in October was wonderful.

We were going to Boulder to pick up a new puppy from the breeder. The trip was last minute and we weren't able to get a reservation anyplace in Boulder, so we knew we were in for a struggle. We pulled into the Silver Saddle about 7:30 PM and they were full. The owner made many calls trying to find a place for us elsewhere in town, but everyplace else in Boulder, Longmont was full, too. What to do.... Before we left we asked if they had anyplace we could sleep, even a foam pad in the parking lot! The owner allowed that they h... read more

Silver Saddle is an inexpensive alternative for Boulder, CO. Its clean and the proprietor is very friendly. Wonderful views of the foothills. This motel lies right on the Boulder Creek path. During the "heat wave" last week, I was able to walk to the Boulder Creek and splash around. You can walk the path about 1/2 mile to the outstanding Boulder library, and into Boulder and the Pearl Street Mall. Take a cab back in the evening, there's a cab stand at Pearl street and Walnut.

I've stayed here multiple times, including a *one year* stay in one of the private cabins ( #15 - shown in the photo). As mentioned in other reviews, the facility is a bit dated, but the ownership was upgrading the entire time I stayed there (with no inconvenience to guests). The staff is superb. They truly care about the comfort of their guests and will go above and beyond to make sure that your stay is better than you expected. Stay long enough and you'll make friends that will have you coming back time and again. Best of ... read more

Silver Saddle is amazing! Stay there if you can! The cabins are quaint-- not the cookie-cutter type of room you get at every other hotel. The price is right for the amenities available. We got the unit with a kitchenette and a carport-- both of which we happily utilized. The location is great-- right on the edge of Boulder Canyon and downtown Boulder. The only complaints we had were a few tiny ants wandering around the cabin, but really, what is camping without ants? If you can't take a little bit of rustic with your hotel, ... read more

I stayed at the Silver Saddle Motel from July 4th-10th with a friend of mine. Over the years I have visited Boulder during the summer several times and stayed at many of the fine lodges. However, had I known about The Silver Saddle Motel before now, it would have been the place I stayed every time. I happened to spot the Silver Saddle when I biked up the canyon on the Boulder biking/walking path last year, and was struck by the funky neon signage and adorable cabins and decided to try it out this year. To start off, I am con... read more

We had an occasion to stay at the Silver Saddle Motel in Boulder, Colorado, recently and found it to be rustic, charming and in a wonderful location, within walking distance of the downtown and Pearl Street, but removed from the hustle and bustle. It is right along Boulder Creek and you can walk right out your door and be fly fishing in minutes. The owners were very sweet and helpful, our room (actually it had two bedrooms) was clean, spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay very much. We would definitely recommend ... read more
