I had a great stay at the Minecart Motor Lodge. Delicious dining options right up the street with the amazing Tacos and Beer and the Coffee Trader for a lovely start to your morning. I will stay here again.

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.

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.

The motel was fine for the amount we paid. Clean although it seemed that we were in a smoking room because I could smell smoke likely from a previous patron. I loved the little dog greeter at the main office!
