It was a simple motel room, but the bed was comfortable and it was right in Montrose. We would have loved to have a small coffee maker so we could have made our own coffee when we woke up.

No Breakfast
Room was clean but small with no table to work from. Traffic noise being right on Main Street. They Advertise breakfast. But only breakfast was coffee and a few breakfast different bars. Not what I would call breakfast by any means.
