The motel was fine for the amount we paid. Clean although it seemed that we were in a smoking room because I could smell smoke likely from a previous patron. I loved the little dog greeter at the main office!

Comfort without breaking the bank

The gentleman who checked me in was very nice and allowed me to check in early as I was preparing for a wedding. The room was spotless and nicely appointed. Comfortable bed and great TV choices. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a simple motel room, but the bed was comfortable and it was right in Montrose. We would have loved to have a small coffee maker so we could have made our own coffee when we woke up.

The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. We were right next to a busy street so I was worried about noise but didn’t hear any traffic noise at all. Unfortunately in the winter months the office doesn’t open until 8 am so we went elsewhere for coffee and breakfast.
