Staff was okay, not rude but she was not friendly. The tub in my room clogged and would not drain so it filled up when taking a shower. There were also loud noises all night, like mechanical or dryers being ran behind my room. Neighboring guests were also extremely loud from 230-330 am. Not terrible but will not be back.

Perfect motel for travelling through

This is a basic motel. It was perfect for us travelling through Arapahoe. Check out the on site distillery and tasting room. Room was pet friendly, clean and well appointed.
