Great place to stay! The internet could be faster. The room used Roku on the TV to log into your streaming services and was buffering A LOT the night I stayed there, so I just ended up watching something on my phone. Still giving it 5 stars because I can overlook something like that.
Room had many drain flies and spiders. Our next door neighbors were talking till 11 pm and we had to leave at 5 am for early flight. Breakfast unavailable
No one rhere at night. Check in by text, key in lockbox. Hard to tell by picture, this is old style motwk that has been nicwly refurbished. Rooms are small. Good for overbigh, not much else. Extra points for having poptarts for breakfast. Menu limited.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was like a closet---could hardly turn around. It was clean enough but will not stay there again.
Room was perfectly clean with a very comfortable bed. We requested extra pillows and they were brought over really quickly.
We used the coffee and drop in breakfast in the morning which was handy and the staff were very friendly.
A little bit of road noise but handy for getting to Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP.

It was Spartan but very clean. I loved that the windows actually opened. Very reasonable price considering the taxes and fees levied on motels in Montrose
Staff was friendly and accommodating. They were aware of issues with the television system and acknowledged that it’s frustrating to use. Comfortable bed, but tiny bathroom with no room to set anything down. All in all, pretty expensive for what you get.
Room was recently remodeled. Small, clean,everything that I needed. USB, regular outlets, lamps at either side of the bed.
Not a hot breakfast, but coffee, yogurt, cheese available.
Great place for an overnight. Highly recommend.
Small foot-print property. But functional. Parking slots are tight. Small, functional rooms, recently renovated. Nice bed. Convenient to the routes to Black Canyon NP South/North rims and downtown Montrose.
