It was a great place to stay. I was going to be late for the check-in time. I called, and they accommodated my situation. I had a great breakfast with some gluten-free options. For a modest hotel, there was such love and effort put into the towel decorating. It looked like what you would see on a cruise. I loved it. They went above and beyond and showed that they are NOT a chain hotel in the best way possible.

This little motel was a delightful surprise after driving for 10 hours and getting into Rifle at 10pm! The check-in girl was so hospitable even tho we were checking in late. Our room was IMMACULATE and there were thoughtful touches like the towels wrapped in special ways as well as the tissue. The breakfast was surprising as well...bacon, sausage, eggs, potaties, yogurt, waffles, fruit, hot pockets and wrapped croissant sandwiches. You can tell the management cares about making your stay comfortable and nice.
