"Itās not fancy (at all), but it is clean, comfy, and cheap. Our party of 7, including four teens, were more than happy with our two-night stay during our travels to visit Mesa Verde. The front desk and breakfast room staff were friendly, helpful, and professional. Weād definitely recommend."
"The room was clean and simply, but nicely decorated. Each room was decorated after the year - we stayed in 1976 and it was 200th anniversary of America themed. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even reminding me when I left something in the room. My son and I enjoyed the breakfast while we played some games on the lawn. Great value for the area."
"Everything was great, except for a few things I wasn't happy about, first I'm currently using a cane to get around and the Super 8 we stayed at has I believe 4 floors and NO elevators so we had to get ground floor room, which still has four/five steps to get to the floor level, second, there were no coffee/tea maker in the room, I like to drink hot tea before bed, other then that the room, staff were great."
"Unique that it was in a National Park with close to the tours in the park. I entered in my first room and saw bag of garbage on the desk, bed messed up and not made and dirty towels on the sink. Luckily the staff at the desk apologized and moved me to a clean room."
"Wonderful staff, great rooms although hallway is a little warm for my liking, the rest of my family had no complaints. Pool/hot tub could use a good scrubbing. Otherwise canāt say enough good about this place. Cookies at check in as well as complimentary water and grab and go breakfast bags were a very lovely added touch. Coffee bar in main area was amazing!"
