Top Dinosaur Journey Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Fruita

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and didn't smell like smoke. I enjoyed the pool area and the breakfast was adequate. Staff was friendly and helpful."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fruita

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful and the property and room was clean and comfortable. We used the hot tub which felt good but the whole pool area could use some attention, it is rather old and not very well maintained"

Willow House

10/10 Excellent

"Adorable, clean property! We had a wonderful stay!"

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend the MoJoe Inn. We plan on staying here again"

Balanced Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great spot, close to everything. Nice price and clean. Will stay here again!"

Peach Tree: Sunshine & Game Room Fun

10/10 Excellent

"We needed lodging near grand junction that allowed our little dogs to stay with us. Found this reasonably priced place and we're extremely happy. The property was clean and accurately portrayed. The fence between the 2 properties that also has dogs, looks to have been revamped with wood pickets so there's no issue with the neighbor dogs. The doggy door was a brilliant addition and our pups learned quickly. We played some ping pong in the back room and watched some Netflix at night. Coffee shop across the way is convenient and there's plenty of places to eat or purchase groceries. The farmers market is literally next door on the weekend which is great. We did the rim rock tour from GJ, and it popped out right at fruita and was a 5 minute trip home. Check-in and out was seamless. The instruction book was detailed and thorough. Very happy with the experience! Thanks!"
