A nice stay by Mesa Verde NP
I loved the environment of this motel. Fun decor, comfortable beds, laundry service and a lot of fun games around for entertainment. So many fun things to see around the grounds and beautiful fruit trees and plants. Would definitely stay again. Very conveniently located near Mesa Verde National Park. Breakfast options were enough for our family.

Fun hotel but poor breakfast
This was a great little motel in a good location. The retro motif was fun. The only complaint is that the breakfast was pretty poor. If it is going to be a cold breakfast it could use some more options

It was a nice stay in this Inn. Compared to other lodges/motels this one has a nice personal touch, much better price-performance ratio than others even though it can get a bit busy during breakfast time.
