Pros:

Comfortable bed

Cons:

The lighting in room 210 was really bad. Could not read in the bed.
They need to trim the bush on the street so you can exit the driveway without mishap.

Corporate marketing slapped on a motel 6
Pros:

Staff members helpful, knowledgeable and sweet.

The beds and pillows were comfortable.

Location was good, with a short drive to Pearl St

Cons:

Facilities in incredibly poor condition. The management has utilized beautiful marketing and social media for this place, with a few "mountains are calling" pictures in the rooms. The reality, is that this is a very tired old motel, with a lipstick renovation that has not been maintained. We stay in many of these converted motels, that entrepreneurs fix and I feel bad trashing a small business, but at $250/night, they really need to be investing more into the property.

- Common: Hallway walls and doors covered in scratches & dirt. Hallway floors absolutely filthy. Common deck
area with all it's paint chipped. Common climbing room had no AC, so it was boiling hot most of the day/nights. Washer/dryers all out of service, with sign that looked to be 4-5 months old indicating maintenance would "repair shortly"

In room: Bathroom faucet leaked, flooding the countertop upon each use. In the tub, the tub spout dumped water, even when you were showering. The tub had smudged cracked caulking everywhere that was failing. The toilet had been replaced, but whomever did it left the original caulking smeared all over the flooring, and when it was reset, it was angled, making it impossible to pull toilet paper from the holder.

Cons:

חדדר השירותים קצת קטן, התאורה בחדר חלשה קצת. המזגן עשה הרבה רעש בלילה.

Welcoming, quirky, and comfortable motel in a great location near campus.
Pros:

Loved our short stay at Basecamp! Will definitely choose to stay there again. Staff was great! Liked the room. Loved the location. So close to campus but also felt like we were in a quiet, little neighborhood.

Cons:

Shower could be improved but totally understand that renovations take time and money. All the other renovations and updating looks great!
