Last time I stayed here they put me in a room that didn’t have a refrigerator or a microwave. They should charge no more than $40 a night.

Basic and OK

We stayed the night to catch a few hours of sleep on a long drive. Dated building but floors were recently tiled. AC worked though a tad noisy. Clean sheets and bathrooms. Basic and OK for a night’s stay.

It’s an older property but that ends up being part of its charm. The view is gorgeous and it’s close to town. The room is very clean and has everything we need. Staff is friendly. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect for the.night.

I booked this motel as a inexpensive and convenient place to stay on my way to Montrose. I just slept there, but the room was clean and it was quiet. My only complaint was that they don't have smart TV's so I couldn't stream anything. But, cable was fine.

Would not stay here again. We tried it because it was inexpensive and looked good in the pictures. In person, the lobby was okay but the rooms had dirty walls with holes and missing paint in places.

Housekeeping woke us up at 8:30am. Couldn't fall back asleep so only got about 5 hours of rest. Wait until people check out to do your rounds. Morons.

We were originally supposed to stay in Pueblo on our trip home to Texas.... however, they said that they couldn't guarantee the safety of our truck or anything left in the pickup's bed.... so we debated the odds and went south...looking at hotels.com we found the Trinidad Budget Host online. The desk clerk was terrific and helpful..... the room was clean...but there was no breakfast nor any hot coffee in the hall.....and no cafe/fast food place, as the hotel is on the south side of town, and we were heading south.

I got what I paid for I guess. Had it not been late and pitch black out after 18 hours of driving, I would have selected a different hotel. The room badly needed some work. The walls were filthy, the sealing on the door was minimal with the frame looking like it could have been kicked in both previously and easily in the future… There was a baby bottle left in the window seal. It didn’t feel the safest, but enough to sleep with one eye open. There was 1 bar soap and the soap in the shower was not shampoo or conditioner😬 Smelled like Mtn Dew.. I wouldn’t stay again or recommend unless it was a LAST resort. Staff was friendly tho!
