Great place to stay

Beautiful outdoor garden area with comfy seating and tables. Easy check in with super friendly and helpful front desk attendant. He even insisted on bringing us extra cushions for the table right by our room door! We got upgraded to a kitchenette room which was really nice. An added bonus. Very clean with comfy beds and everything we needed for our stay. Easy walk to downtown shops and excellent brewery. We will stay again the next time we are in the area.

If you are staying in Paonia, this is a nice little motel. Though an older property it has been updated and well maintained. My unit was tidy and clean and had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable, nice shower, and a very quiet air conditioner. Parking was right in front of the unit. Check in/out was easy and friendly. I'd stay here again, if I come to Paonia in the future. The motel is a couple block walk to the center of town.

Felt unsafe, bat posted up right outside my door. Lots of loud traffic at the lq store accross the street. Key was left in a mailbox at 4:30 when I checked in. No answer at the door. I get a small town, but zero effot are put into the guests. Much better exsperiance just a few miles down the road.

It doesn’t look like it’s on a busy street, but it’s on a busy street. Across from a busy liquor store. My room was the last room, which I don’t get because there was no one here. The truck noise all night long was awful. What was good? This person who checked me in was extremely pleasant and helpful. No ice machine. The room was clean. It’s short walk into town so there’s choices for food. Though I can’t recommend Rio Bravo because it wasn’t particularly good.
