Comfort without breaking the bank

The gentleman who checked me in was very nice and allowed me to check in early as I was preparing for a wedding. The room was spotless and nicely appointed. Comfortable bed and great TV choices. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a simple motel room, but the bed was comfortable and it was right in Montrose. We would have loved to have a small coffee maker so we could have made our own coffee when we woke up.

The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We were right next to a busy street so I was worried about noise but didn’t hear any traffic noise at all. Unfortunately in the winter months the office doesn’t open until 8 am so we went elsewhere for coffee and breakfast.

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.
