Cute, affordable family run motor inn. The rooms were very clean and the place felt very safe. Served our purpose nicely. The outdoor seating was a nice touch and the specialty coffee shop in the lobby was appreciated. Definitely recommend this place and would stay again if we're in the area.

Making Business A Little Fun

A true Motor-Inn. The rooms are decorated in 60's fashion of Atomic era which is appropriate considering Monticello's history of uranium mining/milling. The AC worked great on hot days after working in dirt. Always had fresh towels each day and the shower contained a handheld - more places need to do this! The pillows were a little flat but the bed was so comfy which was important after working lifting rocks. And everything was very very clean!!! Visited the coffee shop and the latte was heavenly

Make sure you ask for a room at the back. My room was near the road and there was some traffic early that woke me. Great little motel with a cool 50's vibe. Inexpensive and clean.
