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.
