Was with a group for Ride the Rockies who apparently booked the entire place, smoking and non-smoking rooms. The room reeked of cigarette smoke - even while sitting outside my eyes burned. The staff was very friendly trying to make the room livable but they couldn't. Later admitting there were three rooms "worse than yours." Internet didn't work and the... More

She finally found it with two other people booked in same room with one single bed masquerading as a queen. Room smells heavily of extermination pesticide use. Bathroom as spartan as possible.

PRO: - Economy Motel compared to other in the area - location near to Mesa Verde - friendly CONS: - Poor WiFi connection - rooms are noisy (it was like having our neighbours in the bathroom) - poor breakfast (maybe a little stingy? Bananas were cut into 4 pieces!) - we booked a non-smoking room which was not available anymore... More

On our way in the middle of the night to Cortez from Shiprock, we were stuck in line waiting for police to attend to a terrible fatal accident. After waiting for an hour, the police suggested we turn around to find lodging elsewhere because it could take hours. I called to cancel my reservation, but was told I needed to... More

Of our Family’s week long Trek, this hotel caused conflict between me and my wife and kids at the first glance. My Wife was busy trying to find a new hotel as I checked in.

If you are looking for all the amenities, including a flat screen TV, you are out of luck here. However, if you are looking for a warm, very clean place to spend the night, that is also value priced, this is an excellent choice.
