Wish it could be better

The front desk was very helpful with everything! Location was ok but the bed was very uncomfortable. And we had someone try to open our door twice during our stay. Parking was difficult as the markings were very hard to see. However, the staff was fabulous, helping with all our concerns and needs. The hotel just needs some updating.

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.

VERY disappointed

The check in staff was nice, but everything beyond that was disappointing. Not well maintained, very old, sketchy hotel. Bed was comfortable, a fair amount of space in room but low quality on everything else. Breakfast consisted of coffee, cheerios and white bread for toasting. Did not feel safe all night.
