Pros +
- The room was very clean with great front desk staff
- Rooms look exactly like the picture. The place was nice and the breakfast room had a huge variety of items that were perfect for people on the go.
- Clean, comfortable bed, decent shower/bathroom, reasonably priced and on our route. The lack of hotel staff was not a problem. Key code worked as expected, room was adequately stocked. Perfect if you need a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
Cons -
- The bed squeaked every time I moved and the train tracks are very close and noisy
- There was no communication about the parking lot being done. The asphalt was being put in and no communication letting us know where to park during the mean time.
- It looked like they were still remodeling parts of it, but it looks like it'll be really nice when they're done. It's also located close to the road so we occasionally heard some road noise and a train, but it was quieter than our airbnb downtown.

I like that the hotel has been recently renovated. It's clean and has a cool vibe. The location was convenient and the online check in made things very easy. There was ample room inside for our two bicycles.

They had all the soaps and lotions. Well renovated. Also they have a lot of cameras outside for security. Texting my door code worked well.
This is a small, non-corporate motel that has been upgraded with sweet and sensitive touches throughout. Super clean/great coffee/easy check-in and out. Overall it was an awesome experience.
Rooms are large very clean and modern each room a refrigerator microwave neighborhood was quiet and safe they have a nice outdoor pool I would highly recommend this property we were very impressed with how well they have updated
We arrived late at night and there was a ring doorbell it took me quite a long time including knocking on the owners window to get someone to answer even though we had a reservation but once the owner was up it took 3 seconds to check in so that was great
good clean well located hotel for the price
Even though it was an old motel, it was recently refurbished and was very clean. Great big flat screen and appropriate ammenities.
NO elevator. Train tracks right next to the hotel. Wasn't fun being awakened twice in the early morning by two long freight trains.
The room was clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable
It is a motel, so it was a little noisy.
Proximity to town and Colorado National Monument.
An occasional train passing by.
The bathroom was super clean. The beds were comfortable. The AC was cold.
The TV remote did not work correctly, even after the manager gave us a new remote. The coffee in the room was terrible, and I'm not picky. It took a long time to cool the room down, even with the AC at full blast.
This motel was great. Super clean and everything within walking distance. Family owned, definitely will be back whenever I am in the area.
Everything was as advertised.
Fair price, easy access from highway and to town, clean room
I didnâ≢t sleep well because of the noise from loud vehicles driving by and trains that honk their horns loudly while going by
It was clean and the A/C worked well.
Small room, no towel racks, no facial tissue, Toilet paper hard to reach, loud train noise, glutinous breakfast.
Room was very clean and updated
The continental breakfast was a stretch. Basically bagels, packaged pastries, juice and coffee. Several local spots within in walking instance as well as a deli in the local grocer. Other than that the property was great!
The staff was great. FOR BEING CLOSE TO THE FREEWAY IT WAS QUIET. The price was about half of the other motels there.
Nothing it was a great place
Clean and good value but room needs proper curtains,not blinds. Very close to the train tracks so noise can be an irritation.
The hotel is very MTB friendly and breakfast was ready on time so you can get out on the trails before it gets hot. Close to Main Street, so you can ride or walk to the get dinner/drinks and not have to worry about driving.
Excellent room, clean, staff very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was nice, and all for a goo price.
Swimming pool was disappointing, cool water & the air was like a sauna. I was hoping to watch my son swim but neither of us was comfortable.
