I gave it a 2 star because our room was clean and staff friendly. But. Toilet needs work. Air conditioner omg needs thrown out sooo loud turns on and off on its own finally just had to unplug it. That's when I realized the fridge was noisy when I thought it was my husband snoring. Shampoo container was empty and we only had 1 towel. So hot in room finally opened window for air. No sleep. Breakfast mediocre.

Terrible environment. My wife wouldn't even get out of our vehicle. However, owner (?) gave me a suite after I was going to leave and it was pretty good lodging.

The room was clean - breakfast wasn’t much.
Weird person spent night in car next door all night smoking something some kind of cigarettes! Didn’t feel very safe with that outside.

The room was clean except the bedroom lamps did not work. They didn’t offer to switch us to another room. The price was great. Breakfast was a big disappointment, not much to offer

The hotel is conveniently located at the main road which was straight to the Mesa Verde's main gate. From there, everything was down hill: The swimming pool was closed for a while and rundown, The yard between the buildings was dirty and not maintained, broken equipment was sitting there. The coffee machine in our room was broken. When we came back from the tour at around 5:30 pm, the room was not cleaned, and the coffee machine was still not repaired/changed. (I had informed the front desk in the morning.) When I asked the front desk to clean the room, she just complaint that the cleaning crew only cleaned 20 rooms then left. However, she was willing to upgrade us to a suite, which was a nice move. That's why I gave it a 3-star, instead a 1-star review.
The breakfast was most basic: There was no real juice, only the artificial fruit drinks. the hot water was locked in a room which we had to go to the front desk to ask the clerk to open the door and get it for us. The hotel was not worth the money we paid. I definitely will not return to that hotel in the future.

Nice to get a ground floor room you can drive up to. Thought their Continental breakfast went above and beyond! Cereal and Danish, bagels and muffins of course, but also waffles, juices, different fruit, also great coffee!

Property need revamped, cracked stirs, no pool access, gaps in the door seal letting lots of air from outside in, AC was loud and didn’t work well, no fire or o2 detector, internet was patchy. It was as clean as it could be based off the property condition. Staff was friendly.

We stayed there nine years ago and it was a nice place. Thought we’d go back. The pool wasn’t even filled. The place felt dirty and dingy.

This is a very old hotel that has tried to modernize, but still shows its age. The room was clean, but outside is filthy. I didn’t even want to identify half of what was on the sidewalk. I had a room in the corner behind the stairs with no exterior light. Then the light switches inside the door didn’t work, so I had to stumble in and find a lamp. Never got WiFi working with any variation of the two passwords I was given. The plumbing is old and the shower was very hard to adjust. It ended up being either lukewarm or scalding. Glad I was only here one night.

Was just okay. The Expedia site was not accurate to the actual site. It states that pets are welcome. Not that there is an extra charge for pets. Also now they are renting weekly and monthly. Not a good thing for your average traveling family.

It says buffet breakfast it’s cereal and bagels, says pool is open but it’s not. An my tv remote didn’t work to turn on the tv an we let the front desk he tried a different remote ultimately saying there is nothing he could do.
