Woman at reception desk was excellent... very warm, friendly approach to greeting and making us feel at home. She took special care in preparing breakfast-on-the-go parcels. We would stay there again.

Perfect motel for travelling through

This is a basic motel. It was perfect for us travelling through Arapahoe. Check out the on site distillery and tasting room. Room was pet friendly, clean and well appointed.
