Old school charm and hidden surprise!

This was a surprise! Clean. quiet, friendly service. Fridge and microwave in room. Old school charm with a great atmosphere that is well kept. AC worked great, room was ice cold, and the bed was very comfortable. Shower had great water pressure and tons of hot and cold water. Night Staff was very friendly and courteous. Breakfast had lots of selection and made to eat there or take with you. Definitely recommend this.
Old school keys for entry into the rooms
Nice, clean, AC worked “GREAT “! Bed was comfortable and pillows too.

We stayed in a King room—cute, kitschy decor. Room amenities are sparse but adequate (one-cup Keurig maker, small microwave, TV). It was not the room I thought I was booking online, based on the pictures vs. reality. Walls aren't very sound-proof. Continental breakfast was decent.

This is an old motel that has been renovated. It is quirky & cute. The rooms are good size, clean and comfortable. It is easy to g et in and out on the highway. We had a room in the back and it was very quiet. There is a guest clubroom that is decked out with a pool table, weights & tables/chairs. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. I enjoyed it.

We loved staying at this cute, quirky and fun inn. Beds were really good and the front desk clerk was very friendly. As far as the grounds around the inn, they need some TLC. If we ever return to Cortez, we would stay again.
