I travel with a service dog and there is a good size area in back to walk her. The beds were comfortable and I enjoyed the walk in shower which all had been updated. It was a pleasant stay.

Rooms were clean and well kept, and was one of the more affordable accommodations in Montrose. There was some noise from the street, but was mostly drowned out by the AC unit.

Great Find near the National Park

I stayed here with 8 of my friends while we visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We loved the fire pit and the central location. It perfectly fit our needs.

The only problem we had was no one was at the front desk around 4 pm, indicated call the front desk which i did and the phone rang right in front of me and the mail box was full so you couldnt leave a message. I had to write a note and someone called me back and left our key in a lock box a short time later.

The hotel itself was decent, beds were comfortable, and it was quiet. My issue was the price! Over $250 a night with taxes which is absurd being a small town and an average place. I would stay here again if the price goes down, otherwise not worth it!
