Very unique and comfortable room. Property is set in a fifties theme and offers a dog park, plus a simple breakfast bar. For the money it's a value. We will stay again if in the area.

Whenever we're in Cortez, we stay here, because it's not a chain, colorful, and relaxed. This time we stayed in the Clint Eastwood Room, where his photo was on the lime green walls. I'd like a little more furniture (no easy chair or desk), but I think the space comes in handy if you have kids. The grounds are lovely, and there's a dog walk.

Fun, family friendly

Each room has a "theme" from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's. My room has a shower but no tub. I didn't need a tub but those traveling with small children may need to request a room with a tub. The game room has a pool table, tv, and room for those traveling together to congregate. They do a great job of fulfilling the "retro" theme. We loved it.

We had the Gatsby room and it was a very generous space with a huge shower and bathroom. Friendly staff and the property was in good shape.
