Decent lower budget option

Check-in went surprisingly well, considering the desk clerk spoke absolutely no english. However, quickly called someone to translate and it went very efficiently. Room feels recently spruced up but room is dated. I felt i was in a clean, safe, inexpensive motel ans it was much nicer than similar ventage places.

The owner will have you pay the difference of the “deal” you’re getting on travel sites. It’s not that much more and it’s understandable.

It’s a very nice place

The rooms are very nice. Parking is right outside your door which makes it nice to bring things in. The people are very friendly. They have a awesome coffee machine that I liked. Anything bad that I have to say is I went to the office one time and ring the bell, but nobody came, but other than that, it’s a nice place to stay

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
As I pulled through the very tight and secluded parking lot to my room, kids on bikes seemed to disappear inside motel room(s). The seclusion of the parking lot made me feel unsafe. When I opened the door to my hotel, a large crack on the door made it evident the door had been broken into before. The door had 3 locks (handle, deadbolt, and chain). The room was stale and hot and synthetic fragrances were overwhelming. The lower parts of the furniture appeared to not ever be cleaned as I wiped off a layer of very old dust with the disinfectant wipes I carry. I never even sat down in the room, as I couldn’t see myself being able to relax and sleep there. I decided to pay for another hotel instead of staying here. I didn’t feel safe here, and the cleanliness wasn’t to my standards.

Check in was quick and easy, I’ve stayed places like the Sofitel etc in Chicago and I appreciated the clean, nice and cool room. Bathroom was updated, I liked the colors compared to the stale colors most use, parking by your door and the actual ability to open a window for fresh air. We drove for 9 hours and slept well. GREAT value for your money and pet friendly. Cute little town with the general small town staple stores and a really good authentic restaurant. Will definitely be staying on my way to Denver again!

We love the convenience and budget price of this little gem of a hotel. We've always had friendly staff, 3rd time staying. The quad room is the best deal ever!! Dog Friendly at a very reasonable price with nice, big grassy area to walk them. Best in town for us!!

Never again…

This is the worse place we have ever stayed in. The heater didn’t warm the room/bathroom or us efficiently. The tv was fuzzy and wifi didn’t work. The coffee was horrid. Definitely not worth the money!

Clean and simple

We were stuck in a winter storm on our way to Denver, needed a few hours of sleep before we could go any further. It’s not fancy and the beds aren’t super comfy but it was clean, had some modern features in bathroom and was a good place to lay our heads for a few hours. I would stay again if going through the area.
