Clean room, nothing broken, missing or not working. Parking is a little tight, unless you're on a motorcycle. Good location, gas station right across the street. I have stayed here multiple times. Nothing fancy, great for an overnight stay.

Staff awesome. Room older but clean and property quiet at night. Close to Mesa Verda NP and Canyon of the Ancients. Room clean. Older property but could see that the bathroom had been renovated. No smoke detector in room and nothing other than a dead bolt on door but no worries....a chair under the door handle does the trick.

When I booked this place on Expedia I looked at the pictures well.It was somewhat clean.But the reason I picked this is the photos showed Roku Tv but it did not. So if this is important to you don’t stay here.

This is a very sketchy and seemingly run down motel. When I went to turn on the shower after arriving water sprayed sideways because the shower head had not been screwed on all the way. Also there was still hair in the bathtub from the previous person. Also the light above the bed didn't work and there were no outlets near the bed. Bed was clean enough.

There were dead bugs on the beds. Wall plug outlets are old and loose and you couldn't even plug things into them without the connections coming loose. Some of the lights were burned out and didn't work. Sadly, with just a little basic maintenance and care, this could have been a really nice hotel. The rooms were very spacious and could be made into a very nice accommodation if they were maintained. The building is very old and run down. But it has a ton of potential under the right management.
