Comfortable and clean

Looks like an average street side motel, but it is newly remodeled inside, and very clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. We left a clothing item, and they called us so we could return to retrieve it. Breakfast is grab&go — coffee, granola bars or pop tarts, yoghurt etc.

Cannot recommend Minecraft

Thus place is an old motor court type of motel. The rooms and the lobby have been ‘refurbished’ (actually cheaply and not very well) so it’s clean. But the rooms are VERY small and the bathroom is barely big enough for one person. The “grab and go” breakfast was a ‘granola bar’ or ‘pop tart’ from Walmart. The coffee was awful. This motel is not staffed 24/7, requires ‘digital check in and check out’, which I do not really care for. And the price was the most I have paid so far per night after being in the road for three nights. I do not recommend it. It was one of the lower rates for lodging in Montrose, CO. There’s a reason why.

Very cute motel renovation. If you are looking for a great deal and dont mind TINY and street noise, then this is a great stay. Too small for me, too much street noise. But again, very cute. There is a communal fire pit area, it was too hot for fire when I visited, but very cute. Tacos and beer is right next door for good eats and drink.

Clean, comfortable but rooms are tiny

Cute redone hotel. The rooms are clean, but oh so tiny. I had a full size suitcase that had zero place to open up except the bed. The bathrooms are also super tiny. For a night, the room was fine. Bed was very comfortable. This is the third time I have stayed here and will stay again.

This motel was conveniently located. It offered a room furnished with items that made my stay even more pleasant. I loved the bathroom and walk in shower. The staff was friendly, curteous and helpful. Tricia was a very sweet lady ready to help replenishing supplies. This was a great experience. There was only one thing I could mention that was a minus. Housekeeping wasn't available during my 3 day stay. Other than that, I loved the place and staff and highly recommend it.

Great value for the price. The room smelled a little weird and the TV was difficult to use, but you get what you pay for. They’ve done a good job trying to make an old motel seem cute, and the staff was excellent.

Fine for basic lodging being clean, comfortable, and mainly quiet in the rooms away from the road. Only real complaint was very lower water pressure in the shower, sink pressure was just fine.
