We loved the ease of just getting a code to our room door and not having to go to a check in desk. We were so tired from driving and walking into such a clean and comfortable room felt amazing! We plan to come back on our next trip to Denver!

I like vintage motels and this was a great one. Spacious room, recliner, comfortable bed, walked across a side street to a Mexican restaurant that had an awesome appetizer and margarita. Liked the small town atmosphere. It was a great experience!

This is a hotel that’s apparently been around for a long time in a rural area. It has very nice large rooms with digital key locks and allows for contactless entry. The room is very clean and the bed was very good condition. A very pleasant stay particularly because I was able to stay within 1 mile of the site I was working at.

Nice place to stay!

This hotel is nice, clean and quiet. Did not hear any outside or neighboring room noises. Rooms have a full refrigerator but no microwave, which didn't matter to us. I think I read there is a community microwave. Bed was also nice. The Lobby Ladies were amazing, very friendly and helpful with food and grocery locations.
