The property was lovely and the staff was delightful, especially Monty the dog. My only disappointment was the lack of fruit or any non-ultraprocessed food as a breakfast option.

The rooms have recently been renovated and are clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the generous room and bathroom lighting and the outlets and usb ports on each nightstand. We stay overnight in Montrose often, and had used a similar motel up the street for years. The Minecart really outshines our previous motel. We are making the Minecart our new lodging space
