Good place to stay near Mesa Verde

Well located in Cortez, about a 30 minute drive from Mesa Verde National Park. Room was spacious and I was always able to park outside. WiFi worked well during my stay and check in and check out process was easy.

Didn't realize I rented a biohazard unit, there were doo doo stains on the sheets, blood stains on the ceiling, other oily stains on the other bed, gave the guy at the front counter a 50 dollar cash deposit he refused to refund within 3 minutes of checking in. We left.
