This place is a amazing experience my only complaint is the staff. One of the days we were staying here house keeping came into our room ( even with the do not disturb sign on the door) when they left the room they left the door wide open! It's a good thing that the place is in the middle of nowhere. House keeping also left someone's dildo box in a drawer.. Thank God we are not easily offended but it shows how well they clean their rooms right? I honestly think this place could be really cool but they need to fire some people. Rehire all new staff and management.

The towels all had yellow stains on them. There were stains on the carpet which looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 70s. The fact that you can see the drive in movie from the room is the only positive thing. Unfortunately our room really didn’t have a great angle to view the movie either

Absolutely disgusting hotel, it’s built like a motel, every room has its own entrance. The pillows were dirty, ended up not using them. We drove from Dallas so we were too tired to deal with the hotel staff for replacing the pillows, for over $200, I would never recommend anyone stay here. The only thing decent was the breakfast. There were nasty marks all over the room, specially bathroom door had red and yellow marks. It was so nasty my kids slept with their hoodies on instead of using the blankets. Zero stars for cleanliness. Whoever is managing this place needs to retire. Such a disappointment.

Run down motel style. I would not stay here again. I was scared the mattress might have bed bugs. Towels had stains on them. Requested new ones. Only 2 were like new the rest again had stains on them. The lobby smelled horrendous. The breakfast only had 2 hot plates and dining area also smelled bad to the point I lost my appetite. This joint ir probably worth $50 a night but they charge way more than that. Not worth it, stay somewhere nicer.

love the concept. Wish the screens were bigger. Too far away for any detailed experience. Shower handle pull off the wall. Improvised shutting off the water. One ice machine for all. Stairs are in disrepair. Could be a safety violation when you can see through the rust. Hot breakfast was very overstated. Hot eggs. Juice machine in-op. no meat or potatoes unless you unwrapped the thing that was call a burrito. I wouldn't advise. Was on the bucket list for a few years. It's over now. Drove from Colorado Springs. 2.5 hours
Alamosa Pizza hut was the highlight for the weekend.

Would have been a 5 star stay had they have actually cleaned the bathroom properly and emptied both trash cans before we got there and checked in. The tub had hair all over it, bathroom trash had sanitary napkins, we had 1 personamount of toilet paper on the roll, and the bedroom trash was full with someone's breakfast items. We came in at 8:20pm.
Beds were comfortable, the drive in theater (that you can watch from your bed and listen to it in your room from the switch on the wall) was a cool experience! The staff was very helpful in remedying the issues with the room. Staff at concession stand was humorous and friendly. Other than the room not being cleaned properly, it was a great stay. I recommend the experience to families.

What a unique and enjoyable hotel experience…So glad I found you online. I loved watching the drive-in movie from my hotel bedroom window with the in room speakers, and the concession stand crew were a delight. One small suggestion: not all of us are early risers…if you could just let your cleaning staff know that knocking and then automatically trying to open the door at 9am when the “do not disturb” sign is clearly on display isn’t a great way to start one’s day. Thank you for an overall pleasant lodging experience.

My room had a very odd odor. When I let the staff know, they were unable to switch me to another room because they were sold out. Their suggestion was to use an air purifier, but for some reason, they couldn’t use it while someone was in the room which seemed odd. Or to spray air freshener in the room, which would not help the odor. They also said that I could check out, but I did not want to try to drive to another town to find a hotel.

Beyond that the ice machine was out of ice during my whole stay and I had to drive to a store to get bottled water.

The hotel has a very retro feel and it has a drive-in movie which you can see from your room with a speaker in the room. The problem is that the screen was a little hard to see, and I chose not to watch the movie. It had the potential to be a unique stay, but it just wasn’t what I expected.

This is an older property that shows its age. It didn't appear they were full but we were assigned to the \"Annex\" building. That's across a gravel parking lot, that doesn't make it easy to make use of the facilities. Neither does a lock on the door. When my wife couldn't get to the washers or dryers or ice machine, she brought it to the attention of the desk, but no help was offered. The room was basically clean but the electrical outlets looked rather fragile and one that worked, was severely overloaded.
Breakfast was decent. Selection was good, and the dining area was nice. Overall not a great experience.
The motel does have an agreement with the drive-in theater next door, but after traveling all day, sitting in the car for 2-4 more hours wasn't really attractive to us.

When we checked into our room, it was clear that the sheets had not been changed. We spoke with a gentleman at the front desk, but instead of simply providing fresh linens, he argued with us about the issue. I wasn’t asking for housekeeping service; I was willing to change the sheets myself, but he insisted there was nothing wrong with the room. When the sheets were delivered, he refused to take the soiled ones and told us to leave them in the room for the staff the next day.

We also hung our towels to participate in the water‑saving program, but they were replaced anyway.

We booked this venue specifically for the drive‑in movie experience from the room. Unfortunately, the electronic roadside sign was extremely bright and cycled through various advertisements, making it difficult to see the movie from our room.

The room itself showed signs of wear: the lamp had red‑spotted stains, and the carpet was in need of repair. I understand this can be a challenging area for lodging businesses, but the combination of poor customer service, lack of attention to the guest experience, and facility upkeep made these issues hard to overlook.

I recently stayed at this property and overall the stay was okay, but there were some concerns worth noting.

When I booked the hotel, there were no clear photos or descriptions indicating that the property was actually a motel. This was disappointing, as I would not have chosen to stay here if that had been made clear.

The stay itself was mostly fine, but cleanliness could be improved. I noticed a hair on the bathroom counter and a stain on the comforter, which made the room feel less well-maintained than expected.

One positive note—although we missed breakfast, the front desk staff member was very kind and offered to get us items like muffins, bread, or a donut. That was appreciated and made a good impression.

Overall, the experience was decent, but better transparency in the listing and more attention to cleanliness would make a big difference.

There was NO obvious notice that the drive in theater attraction/amenity was not currently available. I payed $310 for 2 nights of NOTHING spectacular in a town with really not a lot for my kids when I literally just booked it because I wanted us to experience the drive in.
Rooms were, \"meh\" the art is spectacular!
The individual at the front desk was cold and unfriendly and unhelpful, our TV kept glitching and so not only no movie on the big screen, also no TV in the room!
Breakfast tasted like dust with some salt both family friendly about it in March. Very disappointed and a waste of 2 days and $.
If I came back it would be ONLY for the drive in.

To look out your window and see a drive-in movie screen it is really something different, which we went in the winter months so there was no movie but really liked the idea. There was great lighting outside to get to and from your car to the room.
The only drawback was that the TV, needed to be clearer on the understanding of how to use it

My wife and I have stayed here twice while visiting Monte Vista for the annual Crane Festival. Both times, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the room and bathroom were spotless. The bed was very comfortable, so we slept well. Since this hotel has a drive-in movie screen south of the rooms, after sundown visitors can watch a movie from the luxury of their hotel room if they desire. Also, each room has both a room number and an actor's name associated with it. So, for example, we stayed in the \"Yul Brynner\" room. These touches give the hotel character that you won't find anywhere else. The dining room, where breakfast is served, has a gorgeous view that looks out onto the mountains west of Monte Vista. As the Spanish name of the town indicates, the hotel truly has a \"mountain view.\" I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone.

In addition, the bathroom had no heat and was freezing the whole time, had to lay towels on the floor like rug. Otherwise, the room was clean and spacious and would probably be fun with the drive in movies in the summer. Nice and quiet this tome of year. Oh, also, if you have dogs, don't walk them anywhere except the road. The place is filled with little ground thorns. Dug over 50 out of the sole of just 1 shoe and my poor pup has broken off that I had to use tweezers to remove.

Too much to list! Best Western should take their name off this place and Expedia should remove it!
The concept is GREAT and I really looked forward to having the grandkids watch from the room BUT the movie was NOT kid friendly nor was it funny.
The window was FILTHY and tough to see out of so the movie from the room idea is worthless.
MOLD, YES LOTS OF MOLD in the shower, AND I have pictures. Miserably dated and worn! It's fine for constructions crews and truckers but families should AVOID THIS PLACE!
He was nowhere to be found when I got there to check in and didn't answer his little bell. He pulled up in his car (why no 'be back in 10 note) and was put off that he had to do this. His English was okay, but his dialect and inflection was horrible, and I had to ask him a few times to repeat what he said and after the second time he got angry and just slammed stuff around.
I have NEVER written a revies like this but please take my advice and AVOID THIS PLACE! Fun idea but zero delivery!
