We stayed here 2 nights. From what I understand it is under new ownership and they are trying to update the old property. Owner and staff were very friendly and helpful, but it's one of those situations where "you get what you pay for". For $71/night including breakfast, what can you expect? Unheated hallways and no frills.

We stayed in Las Animas because we visited Bent's Fort. The motel had a decent restaurant with reasonable prices as well as a cocktail lounge. Our room was clean and quiet. The room rate included a full breakfast in the morning. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This hotel sent me a confirmation, and then sold my room to someone else before I arrived, and failed to notify me! Imagine arriving from the east coast at 2AM, with your family in tow, only to learn that the hotel is not going to honor the confirmation they sent to you. To add insult to injury, the receptionist offered... More

Previous reviewers must have expected a Las Vegas class hotel as far as expectations. We enjoyed our stay, rooms were clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Did not experience any problems. Good selection for a free breakfast everyday. When visiting historical Bent's Fort and Las Animas, this is the place to stay.

There are only 2 motels in Las Animas, and unfortunately I listened to the recommendation of an employee at BCCF when booking my room here at the Bent's Fort Inn, instead of going to take a look myself and making a decision. Worst mistake I could have made. The room smells like urine so bad my eyes burn. I had... More

Worst stay of my life! Bugs...bugs.....and more bugs outside...but they kindly provided us with a fly swatter in our room.... they claim to be dog friendly but we walked ourselves and my two little puppies into something that smelled like a septic tank... the puppies we soaked in it. We lost a pair of sneaks, my outfit and two dog... More

This is not a Best Western Hotel anymore. Property is in need of some serious updating. Restaurant on premises is fair, service very slow. No wireless internet. Would be OK if prices were lower. Lots of mosquitos on the premises, even at the pool. Promotes a bird sanctuary behind the property but it is a stinking creek full of mosquitos.

Now http://www.BentsFortInn.com -- no longer Best Western... But still has all the usual, and something special too: * Great FREE breakfasts (LOVE the home fries!) with several choices. GREAT egg / bacon / sausage / toast / coffee or tea b'fast for free. Beats almost anywhere else. * SOFT water... ahhh, hot shower that leaves you feeling clean :) *... More

I just stayed last night because I am closing on a house in Las Animas today. Haven't even checked out yet. Didn't make reservations, just drove in and registered. Nothing but high marks for these people. Genuinely gracious, friendly, and accommodating. Large and well equipped bathrooms, comfortable beds. Even have windows you can open on the first floor. Very low... More
