There is renovation work being done on this motel presently. We were not warned about this before our stay.
Apart from this there were other issues that were not caused by the renovation work.
1. The breakfast choice was limited, some items were not available.
2. The staff were very slow to replenish items on the breakfast buffet even after asking.
3. The spa did not work.
4. House keeping was very late in the day, after 4pm.
5. Contractors were sitting around reception in their dirty clothes.
6. Contractors were sitting having breakfast in the dining area before 9.30am. This area should be reserved for guests.
7. The corridors were in a very dirty state.

We were not warned that they were undergoing renovations. First room we went to smelled like cigarette smoke. Receptionist was willing to move us to another room.
The rooms are very dated and run down. This doesn't usually bother me, but it was a very disappointing experience for the end of our trip. This is not a $200 a night room. They should have shut down and done the renovations the right way.

I’ve now learned to call ahead to the hotel and see how massive the renovations are. This one was huge. No working elevator. Construction noise and Mexican music blaring from the radio all day. One stairway at the extreme end where you had to travel past carpet that must have been soaked in urine. I no longer hold holiday inn express as a hotel that will always meet certain standards. Generally old and run down. There are signs of old leaks around from the roof so that most likely means hidden mold. Renovation was long over due but it’s apparent the contractor is running the show instead of isolated areas of remodeling. It’s scattered throughout the facility.

We stayed on the third floor where the fire systems was disabled and room was not finished for their remodeling. very hazardous! My cousins works for the town and she said the hotel was warned not to rent third floor rooms until the fire alams and sprinklers were operattional. Ants on the bathroom floor,There was not AC outlet by the headboard. the TV was poorly mounted and not plugged in to the satellite receiver and was about to fall off the wall. no battery in fire sensor, melted toilet seat and tv was about to pull off the wall, improperly installed, no studs, very dangerous.

Pool is open during renovation. The hotel is doing a renovation so there’s a lot torn down. Breakfast is served in the lobby because of the renovation. And it’s probably good thing that it’s having a renovation. Much of the carpets are torn in the hallway but not dirty looking. Just dated and they have very nice things coming in.

They have a very cool circle fireplace seating area on the second floor. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Staff was nice. Breakfast was good. I was not aware of renovations being done when I booked. Our room was at the end of a hallway and most rooms before ours were being remodeled and doors, walls, dust and other things were in the hallway. Our bathroom was gross, with microbial growth on the ceilings, door did not close. It would have been very difficult for my handicapped dad to go back down to leave to find another hotel. My daughter was sleeping in one of the top bunks, rolled over and hit the rail that literally cracked, broke and fell down. It was so loud, I thought she fell off the top bunk. If I would have known about our room status and location, I would have asked for two normal rooms on the side already renovated, if that existed. It could be a nice place, close to Mesa Verde NP.

There are signs all over the hotel saying that they are undergoing renovations. We saw no sign of that happening yet, but it’s possible that they will be doing so in the near future? Microwave in room didn’t work and remote didn’t work for tv to turn on and off but we figured it out with buttons on side of tv.

The staff was great! We had booked one night through Cheap Tickets and needed to add on another night, but there were no rooms available on CT. So I called and the girl at that desk was able to do a separate reservation and made sure the rest of the staff new we had two different reservations but were the same ppl. The room was very clean and it looks like they tried to do a renovation as the counter and shower stall had granite, but the tile floor was old and out dated. Also - there must have been flooding from the room above because the ceiling looked like it had lots of water damage - dry wall needs redone. The AC worked great and the room was very clean. It was really noisy at night. You could hear all steps of the people above us. The breakfast was EXCELLENT. There were all kinds of options. Great protein choices. One day it was scrambled eggs and sausage links. The next day was cheese omelets and bacon. Of course there were also other options like cereal, oatmeal, bagels, pancakes, etc. Overall, I would stay here again.

Wonderful Stay – Great Staff & Family-Friendly Experience

We had an amazing stay at Holiday Inn Express Cortez during our road trip, and I truly can’t recommend it enough.

The staff was fantastic throughout — attentive, kind, and always willing to help. We were traveling with our 5-month-old baby, and they went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. A special shoutout to the front desk staff at check-in — especially the Indian gentleman who welcomed us. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed, including an extra bed for our baby. That kind of care really stood out.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we loved that the hot bath was available until midnight — it was a perfect way to relax after a long day of travel and exploring.

Breakfast was also great overall. The Day 2 breakfast server deserves a big shoutout — she was proactive, kept everything clean and well-stocked, and made the morning feel welcoming. However, the Day 1 breakfast server seemed visibly irritated even with basic requests like refilling the pancake mix — a small hiccup in an otherwise fantastic experience.

Every interaction with the front desk during our stay was pleasant and helpful. The team here really understands hospitality.

We will absolutely stay here again if we’re ever in the area. Highly recommended for families and travelers alike!
