This might be our favorite motel in the whole world! What a completely unexpected treasure in this lovely little town. We were headed to Durango, but then someone suggested the Mesa Verde Motel to us and we are so glad we changed out plans. Sarah took such care and creativity with every single detail of the motel. From the great set up for our 2 dogs (complete with dog biscuits and water bowls!) to the stocked fridge full of the bet assortment of drinks, the great coffee set up and the plush towels - no detail was overlooked. Of course the decor is phenomenal. And having the M Bar right made it all so easy. From coffee and protein shakes in the morning to delicious cocktails in the evening, and of course all the great little items for sale - we loved having this resource handy. Mancos is a magical little place and every recommendation that Sarah had for us was fantastic. We are already trying to figure out when we can get back. We feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this place.
wendy salomeWe can’t say enough about how amazing this trip was. Our family and friends came for a destination wedding and it was a great adventure! The motel is in a perfect spot to walk to local restaurants and bars. What a fun place, everyone loved the rooms, well equipped, clean, great service. 24 in our group and we all enjoyed the outdoor area, fire pit, and the coffee bar for breakfast and then adult drinks for evening fun. Sally we can’t thank you enough for such a great stay! Thank you for everything and we would love to come again. If you’re in the Mesa Verde area, we definitely recommend this roadside motel. Have a great stay! Thank you, the Turner crew!
April TurnerMesa Verde Motel was a great place for us to stay! Dog friendly, and room was very clean and comfortable, and reasonably priced. Helpful staff, and has a nice coffee house and outdoor seating area. We highly recommend it!
Bruce FormanReally enjoyed our stay at Mesa Verde Motel. Clean rooms, soft beds and great location. M bar was a highlight offering cocktails, beer, wine and coffee in a unique atmosphere. Matt greeted us on check in with a smile and was genuinely happy to host us. Definitely will stay again
Brent RushtonThe Mesa Verde Motel is a true hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with modern touches while still keeping that cozy, small-town charm. The location is perfect—close to the park and local restaurants, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Make sure you visit Dotty Wampus Chocolate Factory! The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved the little extras that showed how much care the owners put into making their guests’ stays special. The on-site cafe/bar is awesome! If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and personal touches, the Mesa Verde Motel is it. We will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
Karen SchneidermeyerThis place is just fun. If you want to stay somewhere that the experience is memorable, stay here. We loved the many little "extra touches" in the decor, furnishings, and atmosphere plus it is super clean. I am in that area often but this is the first time I have stayed at Mesa Verde Motel. It is definitely my new "go to" place. If you are visiting Mesa Verde National Park, this Motel is perfect and the town of Mancos is a special place.
judi vogelThis motel is in a perfect location for visiting Mesa Verde National Park. The room was clean and decorated very nicely. The owners did a great job on renovations and were thoughtful in the amenities. The cocktail bar and coffee bar is a nice touch. We enjoyed both aspects of it.
Julie WaiteWe had the absolute best experience at Mesa Verde Motel! From the moment we checked in the staff was very friendly and helpful! The rooms was so comfortable and had so many thoughtful little touches! The artwork and detail around the whole place is so fun and we had the most comfortable bed and blankets! The coffee bar and cocktail bar right there were so delicious too, and another huge perk is that you can walk to various spots for dinner and are only a 9 minute drive to the entrance of Mesa Verde National Park! I would recommend this motel to everyone!!!
Annie TurceaWe have stayed at Mesa Verde Motel twice in the last year and both times it’s been great! The rooms are always very clean and have everything you need! The beds and pillows are super comfortable, and the decor is cute! Love the games and “hang out space” next to the cafe too! We will be back!
Sonja McGrewI did a lot of research on where to stay for our visit to Mesa Verde National Park and the very charming retro motel was one of the options. It was very close to the entrance of the park. I read some things about the owners, saw some charming photos and read nice reviews. It all worked out nicely for us. Being from the East Coast we were far from home and on a wonderful 10 day tour of Colorado. The Mesa Verde Motel worked out well and added to the charm of our big trip!
