The 50-room Basecamp Boulder Hotel is an upper-middle-range boutique with a fun outdoor theme and an excellent location in central Boulder. Common features like a pool and spa are missing, but the large indoor hot tub and sauna are relaxing, and the climbing wall, ping-pong table, and free trail mix add further appeal. Common areas and rooms alike utilize outdoor activity equipment as decor elements -- think lanterns, picnic tables, and folding chairs -- in a stylish design. Rooms are simple but contemporary, and have modern amenities like coffeemakers and flat-screen TVs despite the rustic theme. Hotel Boulderado is pricier, but is a historic hotel with more features -- a restaurant, large fitness room, and shops -- just off the vibrant Pearl Street Mall.

The 60-room budget Chautauqua Cottages is located in a heavily wooded area, next to Boulder Mountain Park. Built in 1925, it is a compound of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom cabins. The property feels like a retro summer camp for adults, without televisions or phones (but there's free Wi-Fi). The site is ripe with history, and the cottages and public areas are filled with atmosphere, old photographs, and history books. Every cottage is different, but all have full kitchens, large furnished screened-in porches, and beautiful views -- but don't expect modern furniture or luxe linens.

Quite possibly the most affordable property in Boulder, the Twin Lakes Inn is a budget hotel that looks a bit like a youth hostel and is geared toward extended-stay guests. Rooms -- though simple and a little dated -- all have private bathrooms and there's a communal kitchen. As it's situated in a residential area away from the popular Pearl Street and the University of Colorado, a car is probably necessary to get around, although there are bus stops nearby.
