Super clean room and lovely bed!!

Fantastic service. Staff was super friendly and helpful. It was late and I did have some problems finding the front desk (Thought it was the restaurant entrance) but the owners saw me in the parking lot and got me where I needed to be. Easy check in and check out! Over fantastic place to stay!!!

My second time staying at the La Junta Inn. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that when I tried to adjust the shower head (so it wasn’t spraying outside the shower), the whole thing came off in my hand.

Here is the good the bad and the ugly the good was they were very very friendly and helpful the bad the room next to ours has an alarm that keeps beeping every 42 seconds and that room is under construction the 2 queen beds are crammed in the room literally one is against the air conditioner so the air blows on your feet and you cannot get out of bed on both sides of bed in either bed the room was decent the shower is horrible it’s just wierd shower head they didn’t have body wash which was also odd. The pool was drained so no amenities that way and looks to have been for some time breakfast was jimmy dean breakfast sandwich’s which you heat up they had juice and coffee and nutritionist types of bars the overall cleanliness of the room there is high dust and low dirt the lamp on desk needs a whip down etc fridge was clean and so was microwave although not large enough to accommodate a regular microwave popcorn bag it wouldn’t turn properly the ugly parts again it was decent for the town and my dog was not a problem they were the nicest staff though
