Old school motel for a great price and comfortable stay. Joy greeted us at check in and was helpful with area suggestions. The room was very clean and comfortable. Not much curb appeal but very friendly staff and comfortable rooms. I would absolutely recommend if you are in Cortez!

Definitely an older hotel that is in need of some renovation. I will say the rooms looked and smelled clean. I spoke with the owner and she was so nice. She gave me the keys for a couple different rooms and said to pick the one I liked best. She was working on cleaning a room when we arrived. This place is nothing fantastic, but the location, price, cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff make it worth it.

JOY, who received our reservation was wonderful. She really worked hard to get our room ready and even called to see when we would be arriving. This is an old property that is family owned, they really appreciated our business. Everything worked as expected during our short visit.

Motel is family-run. Joy and "Dad" made us feel like we were at home. While the motel is old-style, it is comfortable and CLEAN. Joy has added some touches to make each room interesting. The room we had was spacious and there were plenty of chairs and benches to sit outside. We enjoyed sitting at the picnic tables to eat breakfast and lunch. There are several choices for breakfast, including fresh fruit, which one doesn't often find except at more expensive chain hotels. If we pass through again, we will DEFINITELY stop and stay here.

This little motel has one huge asset: the owners. They are working hard to improve this property. The rooms are clean and lovely, the office is delightful, and you honestly feel like they knew you were coming and they really welcome you. There are some run-down areas outside (not the rooms!) but they already have plans in place to improve them. I would ALWAYS vote to give my travel dollars to good local owners who take pride in their property and are genuinely welcoming. I recommend the Sleeping Ute Mountain Motel.

Nice place to stay. It’s a bit dated but it’s very comfortable. Great value for the money and most of all the water is hot and the HVAC works great and is very quiet.

I couldn't ask for a better reception from the hotel staff. Joy was a joy to work with. I had arrived 90 minutes early and was not feeling well and she worked extra hard to make sure that my room was ready. The room itself was fine spacious clean and cool. There's a brand new refrigerator which was neat. The amenities were not great. The ice machine in vending machines were all either broken or not working. But those are just minor irritants. The property is a bit worn but for the price I was very happy.

Clean bed but this hotel hasn’t been updated sense the 60s. No ash trays but still somehow felt like a smoking room. Retro without the retro fit.Staff was nice. Found it hard to relax.
