I stayed one night while traveling. This is an older property that has made an effort to update the fixtures, furniture, and beds. Beds were comfortable (felt “newish”), but rooms need a good coat of paint and curtains need some help. This place is very underwhelming from the outside, but for the price I thought this was a good place to stay.

We were originally supposed to stay in Pueblo on our trip home to Texas.... however, they said that they couldn't guarantee the safety of our truck or anything left in the pickup's bed.... so we debated the odds and went south...looking at hotels.com we found the Trinidad Budget Host online. The desk clerk was terrific and helpful..... the room was clean...but there was no breakfast nor any hot coffee in the hall.....and no cafe/fast food place, as the hotel is on the south side of town, and we were heading south.

I got what I paid for I guess. Had it not been late and pitch black out after 18 hours of driving, I would have selected a different hotel. The room badly needed some work. The walls were filthy, the sealing on the door was minimal with the frame looking like it could have been kicked in both previously and easily in the future… There was a baby bottle left in the window seal. It didn’t feel the safest, but enough to sleep with one eye open. There was 1 bar soap and the soap in the shower was not shampoo or conditioner😬 Smelled like Mtn Dew.. I wouldn’t stay again or recommend unless it was a LAST resort. Staff was friendly tho!

The property is by itself on a hill. It is a mile away from the city. Drove through the city. It was very small town feel. Every food place you can think of is within two miles plus a Wal Mart.

I was told after the fact that my service dog was not allowed on the bed. So they kept my $50 deposit. So watch out. There is nothing in writing stating that.

The bed was comfortable and the room and linens were clean. Decor was very dated. Furniture was dated. Years of use and neglected maintenance were obvious. Cracks in walls/ ceiling, gaps under the entry door cracked window glass. Large Black Widow spider in the bathroom. We paid $40/nt so I wasnt expecting much. 2 cop cars were circling the motel when we arrived- not sure if thats bad or not. Right next to the interstate and very loud- no sound insulation. The staff was extremely polite and friendly. You could tell that they tried- maint is probably not a priority for the owner $$$. Overall alright in a pinch but Id say a step above camping.

Art at the front desk was and is a blessing. His kindness, warmth, and he was very welcoming. My vehicle broke down last Friday heading to Loveland from Houston TX and we were devastated. We were stranded here in Trinidad (we never been here) and I used up all of my AAA tows trying to get my vehicle fixed. Art went over and beyond to make sure my sonand I. He even called his mechanic to fix my vehicle and his mechanic came to the hotel driving from Weston. Our experience here was great. Thank you Art! More than Great customer service!
