Very nice hotel in the cute town of Rifle CO, seemed to be family operated and everyone was very friendly. Breakfast was good and the room was clean. To be sure it's an older motel, but very pleasant and reasonably priced.

Andrew at the front desk was wonderful! We are elderly (84) and he kept a parking spot right by our door available for us. He also got as an extra chair for the room. There was a very good complementary breakfast with hot food (eggs, potatoes, sausage), a waffle maker and much more. Larry

The hotel is exceptionally well maintained and clearly cared for. The breakfast exceeded our expectations and went far beyond a typical continental breakfast. At this price point, we certainly did not expect scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon, and the fresh fruit selection was an added bonus. It was such a pleasant surprise to start our morning with a delicious breakfast. Thank you for helping make the beginning of our day a happy one!
