Very nice hotel in the cute town of Rifle CO, seemed to be family operated and everyone was very friendly. Breakfast was good and the room was clean. To be sure it's an older motel, but very pleasant and reasonably priced.

The hotel is exceptionally well maintained and clearly cared for. The breakfast exceeded our expectations and went far beyond a typical continental breakfast. At this price point, we certainly did not expect scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon, and the fresh fruit selection was an added bonus. It was such a pleasant surprise to start our morning with a delicious breakfast. Thank you for helping make the beginning of our day a happy one!

The Lady at the desk was extremely nice, helpful and personalble, the room was clean and the bed was comfy however the floor was extremely dirty & gross to walk on so I kept my socks on & the toilet was made for tiny people literally 😡 the parking was terrible cars packed in like sardines, there was 4 spots out back off an alley.
