Stayed here for two nights while exploring Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP. The place is near several restaurants. The room is cozy; nice flooring, comfortable bed, the place looks renovated. The bathroom is tightly-spaced; but it wasn't too much of an issue. The staff was courteous and willing to switch out our old towels with new ones. I really enjoyed my stay; and if I ever decide to visit the area again, I would book a room without hesitation.

Cute little place worth the price
Its a great option for an amazing price. Very comfortable bed and decent size room. Each room has a little patio set out front. Good options for breakfast. Very cute fire pit area and very walkable options for dinner. Overall worth the price.

When we first arrived, the property looked somewhat sketchy. However, the hostess Cara immediately made us feel welcome and cared for. She made herself immediately available for the few questions we had, all as she was busy turning over other rooms. The motel had been undergoing upgrades and we really appreciated some of the nice improvements. The next morning, the hostess Trish made us also feel very welcome at breakfast. We highly recommend these two wonderful ladies. Our experience definitely causes us to recommend this motel!

Very comfy bed, clean little space, and price is nice for this area. I am sensitive to smells and while the room was very clean, it smelled strongly of some cleaning product which was unpleasant for me. Didn’t bother my husband at all!

Super clean, very comfortable, needs better WiFi
What a lovely treasure! Clean rooms and the most comfortable bed we've ever stayed on. I've also never stayed at a quieter motel in my life. We couldn't hear our neighbors, being a smaller motel you didn't have people coming and going at all hours. Totally would stay at again. Only issue was very poor Internet with no cable so streaming was a must if you watch TV. We couldn't get speeds to at least 1 mbps. We ended up setting up a hotspot to watch TV. That's really not acceptable. If you're not going to offer cable you MUST have Internet enough to stream. Hands down would stay at again though ❤️
