Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Generally reported as very clean (multiple guests noted clean rooms and bathrooms); isolated issues include a very strong smell in one room, pool/whirlpool not fully clean in shoulder season, and exterior needing refresh.
Service
8
Staff frequently praised as friendly and helpful at the front desk; however there are a few reports of indifferent or hostile staff (breakfast attendant, card/rental refusal, smoking-room handling) making service overall positive but mixed.
Location
8.5
Location repeatedly highlighted as a strength (close to Mesa Verde, good views, convenient to amenities, relatively quiet when set back from the road) though some rooms face the interstate/parking and can be noisy.
Room Quality
6.8
Mixed room quality: several notes of nicely decorated, bright rooms with comfy beds and in-room fridges/microwaves, but many comments about very small rooms, lumpy beds, noisy AC, and an overall somewhat dated feel in places.
Amenities
7.6
Amenities include a pool/whirlpool, breakfast, and in-room fridge/microwave; breakfast offerings and pool cleanliness receive mixed mentions and breakfast area can be small.
Value for Money
8.8
Multiple guests explicitly call out good value or low price and 'great value for the money'—value is a clear strength in the reviews.
Food and Beverage
7.2
Breakfast is generally described as decent/adequate (waffles, fresh fruit) but with limited selection at times and a few complaints about breakfast staff and service.
Overall Experience
6.5
Many guests had positive stays and would return (clean rooms, comfy beds, good location), but several significant negatives (smoking-room incidents, hostile staff interactions, missing receipt, dated exterior) lowered overall impressions for some visitors.

Pros:

The room had a table and chairs instead of a desk. The breakfast spread was better than I expected considering the price of the stay

Als road-stop okay
Pros:

Da das Motel etwas zurückgesetzt von der Hauptstraße liegt, ist es relativ ruhig. Wir hatten ein Zimmer im rückwärtigen Flügel, der völlig ruhig war.

Cons:

Das Motel wirkt insgesamt etwas abgewohnt und vernachlässigt, auch wenn unser Zimmer selbst in Ordnung war. Der Gesamteindruckt wirkt nicht gepflegt. Die MitarbeiterInnen waren routiniert desinteressiert, hart an der Grenze zu unfreundlich.
