My partner and I stayed in the Gatsby Suite in December 2025 and were very impressed. I had specifically booked this room after reading TripAdvisor reviews and they were spot on. It is like a little house not attached to the other motel rooms and the decor is amazing with a lovely sitting area, microwave and large bathroom and very quiet. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend

“Charming, retro theme”

This is an older motel, but it is a fun, clean place to stay. The retro theme is charming. We stayed in a 50’s room. The breakfast could offer more choices, but it was adequate. There’s a large, outdoor chess game, and an indoor game room. We would stay there again if in the area.

“Fun, playful and reasonably-priced”

What a delight! Each room is thoughtfully decorated according to the room number which corresponds to a particular year. Ours was 1965. Throughout the establishments are colorful, 50-60’s furniture and accessories. Game room plus table tennis only adds to the ambience. Laundry and an outdoor l… lisää

Throughout the establishments are colorful, 50-60’s furniture and accessories. Game room plus table tennis only adds to the ambience. Laundry and an outdoor large tv screen are available. Thoughtfully appointed throughout in this enjoyable stop.

“Oh, How I Wanted To Love This Motel”

I am rating it average because it has a number of misses. The concept is great. All the rooms harken to a different year or period in history. So there is a 1958 room and a 1962 room and a 1976 room, etc. Great concept but, in my opinion, poorly executed. To be romantic, I chose the Gatsby Room. … lisää

I am rating it average because it has a number of misses. The concept is great. All the rooms harken to a different year or period in history. So there is a 1958 room and a 1962 room and a 1976 room, etc. Great concept but, in my opinion, poorly executed. To be romantic, I chose the Gatsby Room. It is oversized and sort of nicely period decorated but some of the touches seemed to be cheap. The cabinet in the bathroom comes to mind. Trying too hard to find items associated with The Great Gatsby, but not necessarily the best quality of items. There is a laundry and game room sharing a common wall with our room. The game room closes at 10:00 pm. Not so the laundry which had folks in there late at night and early in the morning. In other parts of the motel, one period room was caution taped off. Apparently it was going to be remodeled but it looked like a crime scene. The parking lot was old and pitted with holes. The landscaping needed significant work. The entrance is only one way, which would be fine, if a new customer didn't decide to park his car in the middle of the narrow driveway preventing existing customer from getting to their rooms. Breakfast was fine for a quick snack before going off to visit Black Canyon of the Gunisson. There was a couple cereals, bagels, bread, hard-boiled eggs and a couple items in a small refrigerator that can be heated in the microwave (like a burrito). But there was a lack of space in the 1950's diner style sitting area forcing new arrivals to go outside or back to their room. I like hotel/motels that make an effort to be unique. In this case, however, I feel like while things may improve as they find their footing, sadly I would have to go to a chain hotel the next time I am in Cortez.
