Excellent service! Comfortable stay!!
We stayed here as part of a longer trip. The rooms were recently updated and the beds were comfortable. Best of all, the service was excellent! Anything we needed, they took care of quickly. Extra pillows, utensils, etc. I would definitely recommend staying here if stopping in Montrose!

Great property close to Black Canyon
Loved this place! Great communication beforehand. Nicely renovated motor lodge—room had all necessary features and accommodated a later check in as I was coming from Black Canyon. Grab and go breakfast was fine. All staff were super friendly!

Excellent room accommodations.
Room has had recent remodel. Had mini fridge, microwave, quiet AC, reliable WIFI, spotlessly cleaned.
Parking lot area made for compact cars. Difficult to find daily park spot. Would give 5 stars, except for poor parking availability.

Anniversary Hiking Trip
Anniversary Hiking trip. This was our first stop on our trip. The Minecraft had a wonderfully comfortable bed and was very clean and quiet. It fit the bill for what we needed. Loved the fire pit out front. We would definitely stay again.

Less than Average
It was ok, bathroom door did not shut. Old place. Bed was comfortable. The reviews stated better than it was. Just an old place. The front desk person was nice. Check in was easy, we arrived late and left early. Not my favorite place.
