“most improved”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2009

we generally check trip advisor before a stay. This time we rolled into town late and I did not check the site until after I was in the room. Our room was clean and although the motel was full we had a peacefull nights sleep.In the morning we went to the lobby for breakfast and met the new managers. They are aware of the past reputation and are working hard to bring business back. The rooms have micros, fridgs, coffee pots and internet works great. we paid $47. for the night and think it was a great value. Do not let the past reviews scare you off. I would put this on the most improved list.

“The worst motel I have ever stayed at”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 April 2009

The room was dirty with spider webs all over the place. It hadn't been vacuumed for a while and the walls in the bathroom were stained - it looked really disgusting. The towels were dirty and the AC/heating system dispered the dust which eventually caused allergies. However, I couldn't turn it off since there was a big gap in the door where the freezing cold air snug in. I would never stay there again.

“Probably not the best place to stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2009

OK it's cheap and the onwer was quite friendly, but that's about it. Room wasn't very clean, hot tub looked unsanitary and door didn't lock properly. If you're on a budget and just want a place to sleep it's fine though.

“not recommendable!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2009
1
person found this review helpful

If you book a room online it's way more expensive. we paid 60$ for 4 persons. for this price, there is not much value!

tub out of order

nonsmoker room was a smoking room, smelled awful!

sheets had awful stains, looked somehow used we used our sleeping bags

pillows were a joke, almost empty bags.

toilet seat broken

washer working, but not the dryer, as we discovered with our dry laundry.

plus the receptionist was as totally stoned - you could even smell the pot! he was almost not able to process our check in and dropped almost everything - sounds like a joke, but it sadly wasn't.

the worst motel so far on our 2 week roadtrip!

  • Liked — size of the rooms
  • Disliked — cleanliness, smell, locked down tub, stomed receptionist etc.

“Room fine; security, not so much”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2008

Stayed here for one night while visiting Mesa Verde National Park. The motel was formerly a Travelodge. Presumably, the transition took place fairly recently; they're still using Travelodge toiletries, etc.

The rooms are set back from the road, so there's little traffic noise. Ours was spacious and had a microwave, fridge, coffee maker and in-room wi-fi. It also had a safe large enough for a laptop computer, but no key; perhaps keys are provided by the front desk on request. However, I preferred to carry my laptop and other valuables when I left the room, as security doesn't appear to be this place's strong point. Although the motel didn't seem particularly busy - i.e., no confusion about overbooking - and it was long past check-out time, we were given a room that was already occupied. This I discovered when I inserted the plastic card key issued by the front desk only to find a backpack, clothing and personal items on the bed and table. When I told the front desk that someone was obviously booked into the room, the reply was: "Well, they're not supposed to be."

I was given another room, this time requiring a metal key. That was more encouraging, though below the lock there was a round hole in the door covered with duct tape. I noticed several other doors like this. Not sure which locking system they're switching to, but either way, it didn't inspire confidence.

Otherwise, the motel was okay for an overnight stop, but I wouldn't have stayed a second night, and I'll choose somewhere else if I find myself in Cortez again.

  • Disliked — Being given a key to someone else's room was unnerving.
