  • This 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.

  • This 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.

  • We 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!!!

  • We 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!

  • I 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!

  • This was a wonderful motel that really surprised my wife and I. The co-owner, Sally, checked us in and she was a delight to meet and chat with. Each room has been nicely remodeled with cute touches. The room was fresh, clean, and adorned with great art touches and little sayings that made you smile (and in some cases, laugh!). After a long day at Mesa Verde National Park, this was a great resting place and well worth the money.

  • We stayed two nights at Mesa Verde Motel and I can’t say enough good things. It was honestly the best experience. It was clean and well equipped without losing the charm and convenience of a roadside motel. The onsite coffee shop was great for breakfast. We walked down to browse the shops downtown and ate dinner on the patio at Fenceline one evening. From location to decoration to convenience, this place was the best and we definitely would recommend it to others.

  • Our favourite spot on our tour of Colorado. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Great cocktails and coffee, and local beers at the bar. Stay at the weekend and enjoy the drinks in the evening as the sun sets. The rooms are clean and equipped perfectly for a stop off in this great little town. We slept really well, and could wander to the couple of bars and places to eat without having to drive which was great after a long day on the road. Couldn’t recommend this place enough, and the staff can give you great recommendations for where to eat, drink and how to get to Mesa Verde park, which is a MUST.

  • 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.
