So this place was a little gem. The deluxe room was extremely spacious and the beds were beyond comfortable. Food in the area is limited (especially on Tuesday), but overall it was a great place to stay and would definitely recommend.

Great value in a small town

The proprietor was friendly and efficient - was able to share some tips for my stay in that area. Room, and particularly the bed, were very comfortable and clean. Lovely little town.

One night stay while traveling through

Pretty quiet and the room was clean. The rooms are a bit dated but were in fairly good condition. The front desk host was pleasant and efficient. For a one night stay it was perfectly fine place to lay down your head for a rest.

This is a good choice in Montecellow.

The picture is an excellent representation of the room and condition. It was comfortable and amazingly quiet considering it is next to the highway. We stayed three nights while we explored the great trails. There was parking available for our side-by-side, which was nice. We will stay here again.

Hotel was nice, clean, smelled good, and location for a small town was great! I was concerned when we checked in since it is a tiny town and older but when we got to our room I was very pleased! Would definitely stay there again. Hotel staff was also very friendly and welcoming.

Good nights rest before a long hike

Serviceable little place for a night before hiking in Canyonlands. Staff was nice and accommodations were pretty nice for an old motel in a small town.
