Pet friendly with a $20 fee per pet per night. Clean room. Comfortable bed. Nice towels. Non-smoking rooms face west to I-25, so there is noise. Smoking room are in back facing East. Like the convenience of motor motel, pull up to door and unpack. Reasonable price. Not far from downtown Trinidad.

Parking was easy and secure. The room was very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This is the most pet friendly hotel in the area. I travel with 3 dogs. Almost ALL hotels have a 1 or 2 pet limit, weight and breed restrictions, and charge a fee ($25 or more) for each pet per night. The fees at Budget Host are much more reasonable. This is my go to when I am staying in the area.

This place isn't bad considering, it's probably the lowest price in town. It's clean, but some things aren't up to date. If you're looking for a no frills easy to get too room, this is the place to go, perfectly friendly, pretty quiet.

Extremely clean room, new soft yet thick towels. The interior rooms are very quiet. Very friendly staff. No price gouging even right before the local annual bike race. Very affordable. I would definitely recommend this place. I love cats, I especially enjoy seeing cats playing around on the back parking lots. Apparently staff members are feeding the cats. It just warms your heart knowing that people care about these street cats.
