Budget Stay Here!

The outside of this Motel looks a little run down. But it’s old. It’s been here a long time! It’s family owned and operated. Very friendly & fast check in. My room was big and super clean. The bed was super comfy and the water pressure in the shower great! Nice fluffy towels, a mini fridge, microwave, sitting area, dresser, closet, and I like having the sink outside of shower area. It was quiet and by fast food, restaurants, gas stations, & Safeway. Only 14min drive to Mesa Verde NP!!

Room was spacious and clean and quiet. Conveniently located. Not a cookie cutter corporate motel. The change was nice. Owner personally took care of me and was friendly and professional. I loved my stay there. I’d definitely stay there again.

Best deal in town

I use Hotels dot com a lot to book rooms. I read the reviews, look at pictures, make a decision. The Sleeping Ute Mountain Motel in Cortez was exactly what I expected after doing such a review through the app. It’s not a fancy hotel, but it’s clean. We were traveling with two kids to visit the National Park. We needed a cheap place to stay for the night. This room had everything we needed and at a good price. I’m not sure what year this property was built, but it’s built solid so there’s no road noise or noise from adjoining rooms. The air conditioner was ice cold and the shower was nice and hot. There’s quite a few hotels in Cortez, but this motel had the best price and I was able to get a good nights sleep and visit the National Park early the following day. And to the owners, thanks for the hospitality.

Great place to stay

This is an older motel that has been brought up to date by young couple doing a fantastic job in running their motel. Bikers are welcome and you can park right outside of your room. I highly recommend this motel

Ute Mtn Motel

The motel is aged. I would imagine that in the winter it's going to be cold. Daylight could be seen coming in around the doors. All the fixtures, furnitures and bedding showing signs of wear. Most of the electrical outlets could not keepin what we plugged in, this was annoying. We opted for this motel because of having higher ratings of others we spent nights in. The motel was clean though which we liked. It was quiet throughout the nights. Maybe only a handful of people. I would definitely choose a different motel in the future. If you like older clean rooms this would be good. Oh yeah the name had been changed to Sleeping Ute Mountain Motel.

My husband and I stayed here for one night on our Utah/ Colorado vacation. This hotel was a little dated and didn't look like much from the outside, but inside it was nice and clean!! The owner of the establishment is jovial and welcoming. She goes above and beyond for her guests. She even let me borrow her personal hairdryer the night we stayed. The scenery in the back of the hotel is beautiful!! I can't wait to see updated pictures of the remodeling job that they are currently doing!! :) If you need a comfy place to rest your head, a warm shower to rinse off the dirt from your hike, and don't mind staying in a "mom and pop" operation, then you will really enjoy this hotel as I did :)

The property was fine. It was just rather old and worn. The couple who own it are fixing it up and seem to really want to make it better. My room was clean, with new sheets and bedspread. There is a large field behind it that you can let a dog run. Not sure if it is fenced. I would stay here again.

Old & Very Tired with very loosely secured Door

The hotel manager is wonderful. Very caring and made every effort to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Bed was comfortable and clean with new sheets and bed spreads. Although she stated several future plans to upgrade this historic retro properties windows, painting interior room walls, new carpet, and an upgrade to the retro road sign; there’s a ton of other work that also needs to occur before it could ever be considered a “nice” motel by the average person. It appears they rent out rooms by the month to people that might otherwise be homeless, or are in some type of financial distress. The motel badly needs all exterior surfaces painted, new more secure motel room doors that actually have a weather door seal, new paint is needed on all interior doors, trim, ceilings and walls. Light fixtures need upgrading, all the well used furniture needs to be upgraded and with unworn surfaces. I chose this motel because of the high rating, but realized when I pulled in that the motel exterior pictures on Hotel.com were probably from 30 to 40 years ago. As well, I might have been duped by fictitious over the top complimentary reviews with a 10 out 10 rating. Really? A 10 out of 10 rating?
