Travelled with guests and we rented three rooms. All different. All comfortable and very spacious. Would definitely recommend this spot as the ladies loved it. They especially enjoyed their photo session with Elvis on the front lawn.

Not great

Cute motel. They put some thought into making the rooms with character, but overall it’s just not a nice place to stay. It’s an old motel and it didn’t smell very nice. It was clean enough, but they must use a very cheap cleaning product that made the room smell not very nice and I kept smelling it after we left :(

The property had a 60s feel to it. The break room had Old diner style chairs and tables. Elvis was sitting on a bench for a photo op next to an old style camper. The rooms had pastel colored doors with metal chairs and tables to match. The room was very large and was exceptionally clean.

The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The A/C worked but it worked hard and was very noisy and the temps outside were not extremely warm. The area felt safe but there is only a door knob lock and the door knob to our room moved around quite a bit. You cannot use the deadbolt unless you are inside the room. It was fine for one night and close to Mesa Verde..

The place definitely jad a retro feel! Room was spacious and clean. Amenities were satisfactory - I got what I paid for. Only issue was noise...neighbors sitting out front (this is a motel) yapping away. Sounded like a group of bikers came through as well. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast was decent- again, i got what I paid for.
