  • Stayed at this motel for the location, ambiance, and to support a local business. The owner was the sweetest and the bartender, Blythe, was so kind and knowledgeable about the area. We stayed for a long weekend and loved being 10 min from Mesa Verde National Park, walking distance to shops and restaurants, and a 30-minute VERY scenic drive to Durango that flew by very quickly. We would definitely stay here again in the future and suggest it to others!

  • What a gem! So many fun touches in the room and what a lovely little coffee house in a converted garage- loved every detail and highly recommend! The town is also so charming and every person we encountered was friendly and welcoming. Will be looking for a reason to go back.

  • If you like 50's/60's era motels then you need to stay here. We were very impressed and we have stayed in some of the most famous Motels on Route 66, this little Gem is as good as any of those if not better. Personally I found it to be better than the Blue Swallow or the Safari! Very nicely restored and nicely kept. I was surprised how quiet it was at night right off the highway so do not let that put you off. Friendly staff in a friendly little town. The Neon light does work, sorry I did not get a picture of it.

  • We have stayed here twice a year for the last 12 years going from Texas to our cabin in Utah. We have been thru 3 owners & all have been very nice & the Motel always clean & inviting. We love what Matt & Sally have done with the remodeling. Just good quirky fun!!! We arrived on day of the Preakness just a few minutes before starting & we could not get it on our TV in our room. Sally invited us to their on site home to watch it. How gracious is that? We love the coffee & bar on site. So nice to have a nice cocktail after a long drive. Great location to restaurants within walking distance. We actually look forward to staying here!!!!

  • This Motel is the best Motel I’ve ever stayed at. The room and property is incredibly clean and comfortable. The decor is beautiful and unique. The owners are amazing and they take extreme pride & care of this property. The location is only 10-minutes away from Mesa Verde NP. I can’t say enough good things about this Motel. I absolutely loved my two nights there.

  • Excellent service and attention to detail. Perfect location, and coffee bar within steps is a nice bonus. Room 13 was fun, whimsical, and because it's an end unit, was very quiet. Spotless room. Would definitely return.

  • Great little motel. Room #13 was fun and quirky, recommend giving it a try. Wish the bar would have been open a little later in the evening, but other than that a great place to stay if going to Mesa Verde Park. We were there during the week and early May so not much going on in town and what shops/restaurants there were seemed to close down very early.

  • I come out to Southwestern Colorado from Littleton every year for weeks to months at a time to do spring turkey hunting and a bunch of camping. I stayed here for a couple nights to get some recuperation and they do a very good job. Very clean modern rooms, very friendly staff. Enjoyed talking turkey hunting with Matt. And the cafe and bar on site is great. Rates were very reasonable. If I had one complaint, it would be the traffic noise, as it's right off the highway. The motel door could have been sealed a bit better, but there's going to be some traffic noise nonetheless. I'd definitely stay here again.

  • I have stayed at this motel 10-15 times over the last couple of years. I have referred it to numerous real estate customers. This is a hidden gem in a great location and you can get a cocktail or beer in the evening and coffee in the morning! Highly reccomend this motel. Matt and Sally do a great job!

  • My mother and I found this hotel while traveling from Arizona to Minnesota when a different booking didn’t quite work out. We were greeted with a friendly check-in and early access to our room (it was off-season, and the room happened to be available). The rooms are very well designed with fun twists and very clean (and my standards are quite high). The little cafe/bar that is onsite (separate business) is a convenient place to grab a morning coffee or evening snacks/drinks.
