This absolutely is the cleanest and best maintained motel we have stayed in that also has pet friendly rooms. The staff at check-in, even late at night, are extremely friendly, price is decent, parking good, and overall area and motel are great. They even have a dog bed in the pet friendly rooms. Additionally, there is a middle and elementry school a few blocks away where you can walk your dogs. Overall, we had a great experience and stay here, and if you need somewhere nice to stay in this area, definitely stay here.

The owners have done many upgrades and are continuously improving the facilities. The staff is all family relations; all were friendly, accommodating and onsite for the duration of our stay. From the quick check in, clean room and conversation it was a winner from the get go! As a half way stop to Denver we will use this gem of a motel going forward!
