Wonderful

The room was quite spacious and included a small table and chair alongside the entertainment center and bureau. I liked that the bathroom sink and vanity are located outside of the bathroom to allow simultaneous use.
There were places to sit on the second floor above the lobby, including several spots around a fireplace of sorts.
The only downside was the parking area is a bit of a walk in the dark if arriving after sunset.
I booked this property because it had a hot tub. I arrived to find the hot tub was closed for maintenance. I did ask for and receive a discount or I would have found a different hotel.
I booked this hotel last minute. It’s not my usual preferred hotel chain but I have stayed at other Holiday Inn Expresses and thought it’s just for 1 night. How bad could it be.
The good: hotel staff was friendly and helpful.
The bad: the entire place is very dated. My room had torn curtains, bathroom exhaust fan cover was dangling from the ceiling, ceiling was in need of patch and paint from water damage. The stairwell smelled of vomit.

Tv wasnt working, shower handle had problems getting hot water dialed in, toilet handle fell off. Place needs updating but the staff was very friendly and helped when needed.
This hotel chain has always been one of our favorites. The room is very clean, bed is very comfy, bathroom is super clean! The front desk staff is friendly. They have a bathtub-shower combo which is our first priority to look for in a hotel. They even provide dental kit and other personal items upon request. And they have room service too.
Nice, clean, friendly for a one night stay near Mesa Verde

Floors are poorly constructed. Walking on bedroom floor creates squeaky noises. We could hear the people above us very early on the morning as they walked about their room. Our room floor squeaked as well.

Had a fun Western decor. Property is in a small town and in need of updates. But there is not much soundproofing in the walls and ceiling so that would be hard to fix.

My daughter and I relocated from our original hotel because where we were was loud and the pool looked ready for Halloween. I specifically chose this hotel for the pool, hot tub and breakfast. Pool and hot tub are closed. My daughter and I are so bummed. This should have been made clear before payment. Other than this staff and hotel were lovely and it was peacefully quiet at night.
EV charging is a serious problem in the area. The hotel doesn't have an on site charger like many hotels. The town in general is not EV friendly. Not 1 fast charger in the whole town. Very few slow chargers and the closest one to the hotel is almost a mile away. Not acceptable for a town that survives on tourism.
