The first presentation when I drove into the property is that it’s dated and I worried that Would translate to poor maintenance. Not the car. The room was vintage, but clean, in good repair (clearly recently renovated) and comfortable. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. For travelers with pets it’s a great place to stay.

Ute Mtn Motel

The motel is aged. I would imagine that in the winter it's going to be cold. Daylight could be seen coming in around the doors. All the fixtures, furnitures and bedding showing signs of wear. Most of the electrical outlets could not keepin what we plugged in, this was annoying. We opted for this motel because of having higher ratings of others we spent nights in. The motel was clean though which we liked. It was quiet throughout the nights. Maybe only a handful of people. I would definitely choose a different motel in the future. If you like older clean rooms this would be good. Oh yeah the name had been changed to Sleeping Ute Mountain Motel.

My husband and I stayed here for one night on our Utah/ Colorado vacation. This hotel was a little dated and didn't look like much from the outside, but inside it was nice and clean!! The owner of the establishment is jovial and welcoming. She goes above and beyond for her guests. She even let me borrow her personal hairdryer the night we stayed. The scenery in the back of the hotel is beautiful!! I can't wait to see updated pictures of the remodeling job that they are currently doing!! :) If you need a comfy place to rest your head, a warm shower to rinse off the dirt from your hike, and don't mind staying in a "mom and pop" operation, then you will really enjoy this hotel as I did :)

The property was fine. It was just rather old and worn. The couple who own it are fixing it up and seem to really want to make it better. My room was clean, with new sheets and bedspread. There is a large field behind it that you can let a dog run. Not sure if it is fenced. I would stay here again.

Comfortable and quiet. Just what we like when traveling. Great place to base for day trip to Mesa Verde National Park. Nothing fancy but comfortable and the towels were so soft. Recommend.

Old & Very Tired with very loosely secured Door

The hotel manager is wonderful. Very caring and made every effort to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Bed was comfortable and clean with new sheets and bed spreads. Although she stated several future plans to upgrade this historic retro properties windows, painting interior room walls, new carpet, and an upgrade to the retro road sign; there’s a ton of other work that also needs to occur before it could ever be considered a “nice” motel by the average person. It appears they rent out rooms by the month to people that might otherwise be homeless, or are in some type of financial distress. The motel badly needs all exterior surfaces painted, new more secure motel room doors that actually have a weather door seal, new paint is needed on all interior doors, trim, ceilings and walls. Light fixtures need upgrading, all the well used furniture needs to be upgraded and with unworn surfaces. I chose this motel because of the high rating, but realized when I pulled in that the motel exterior pictures on Hotel.com were probably from 30 to 40 years ago. As well, I might have been duped by fictitious over the top complimentary reviews with a 10 out 10 rating. Really? A 10 out of 10 rating?
