This was my second visit and it was still a fantastic stay. The Minecart is so unique and cute. It has all the necessities without all the fluff. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are comfy. The woman at the front desk is always so friendly and attentive. The amenities are exactly what you need and the proximity to dining and the fairgrounds are convenient. I 100% recommend staying here and will definitely be returning.

Great value for the price. The room smelled a little weird and the TV was difficult to use, but you get what you pay for. They’ve done a good job trying to make an old motel seem cute, and the staff was excellent.

Excellent service! Comfortable stay!!

We stayed here as part of a longer trip. The rooms were recently updated and the beds were comfortable. Best of all, the service was excellent! Anything we needed, they took care of quickly. Extra pillows, utensils, etc. I would definitely recommend staying here if stopping in Montrose!
