The free breakfast consisted of grab and go items. Yogurt, cheese, granola bars, etc. Small but nicely refurbished rooms. Not a great deal for the price.

Positives: this old motel has been completely refurbished; new mattress, bedding., floors, a/c, bathroom, etc. The room is very small. On my stay the Internet wasn't worth sh*t, meaning I had to use hotspot and the Internet could not support the TV. I complained at night about the internet, it was rebooted (I think) but never got better. In the morning I complained to the clerk and he acted like I was crazy until many guests who were in the dining area agreed w me the internet was crap. Same goes for breakfast: coffee good but pop tarts and Walmart candy sucks. There's were no other choices.

We enjoyed our stay at Minecart Lodge. The rooms were extremely clean and the communication between us and the staff was excellent. The rooms are not fancy but are comfortable and well maintained. You won’t find a big breakfast waiting for you but you will find coffee, snack bars, cheese sticks, and water. It’s a very nice place to stay and if we are ever in Montrose again we will definitely make a stay at Minecart Lodge.

It’s an old motor in that’s been redone. So the rooms are small. I was only there to sleep after long flights home from Vietnam. Main reason I stayed there was my favorite quick Mexi fix was access the street. Taco’s Today. Their Berria’s taco’s are off the chart.
