This is a good choice in Montecellow.

The picture is an excellent representation of the room and condition. It was comfortable and amazingly quiet considering it is next to the highway. We stayed three nights while we explored the great trails. There was parking available for our side-by-side, which was nice. We will stay here again.

Hotel was nice, clean, smelled good, and location for a small town was great! I was concerned when we checked in since it is a tiny town and older but when we got to our room I was very pleased! Would definitely stay there again. Hotel staff was also very friendly and welcoming.

Good nights rest before a long hike

Serviceable little place for a night before hiking in Canyonlands. Staff was nice and accommodations were pretty nice for an old motel in a small town.

Nice clean place

This small Motel has been renovated and they did a good job. The room is very comfortable, quiet, and a good variety on tv. They will be updating the bathrooms next but they are still clean and good condition. The poor reviews are from the previous owners of the motel and under a different name. The owners are so nice and friendly. I will definitely stay again when we come through.

A wonderful stay

The staff were each so friendly, accommodating, and fun to chat with. I felt very welcomed by Jessica, Maria, and Clint. I would most definitely recommend this hotel. I read many nice reviews before booking and they were all true!

Best hotel and mattress's of the trip. Loved this place and will be back! Apparently it was recently bought by a couple from north Carolina They recently remodeled it which doesn’t fully reflect in the ratings yet since the old managements ratings are still pulling them dock a little.
