Mostly positive

Appreciated the pre-communication, texts. Good check in system (key lock boxes for late arrival). I had to be moved because of plumbing problem, into tiny single, but paid for double suite with amenities- no discount. No coffee pot or hairdryer. Room very clean, heat worked well.

Beds were very comfortable. Traffic noise was a drawback, but for the most part... Very nice, and renovations were a plus.

Newly remodeled, very nice. The staff that checked us in was a little less than friendly though. Room was freezing when we got there but easy fix. Concerned that the door doesn't latch shut very well!

This is the second time I've stayed at mine cart and I'm always pleased with my stay here! Compared to the surrounding motels in the same price range I find myself choosing mine cart. The rooms are exceptionally clean, the remodel has everything functional like new, the staff is phenomenal, attentive and accommodating, and it's right in the middle of town. The spaces can be a tad small but as long as you know that coming in it's very doable! Overall as someone who travels to Montrose often to visit family I always stay at mine cart because I know that I'll always have a great place to stay at a fantastic price. Thank you mine cart!
