Newly remodeled room that was very clean and comfortable room and a great value. Easy check in from very friendly staff. Super convenient location in town. Our new go to place for staying in Rifle!
This little motel was a delightful surprise after driving for 10 hours and getting into Rifle at 10pm! The check-in girl was so hospitable even tho we were checking in late. Our room was IMMACULATE and there were thoughtful touches like the towels wrapped in special ways as well as the tissue. The breakfast was surprising as well...bacon, sausage, eggs, potaties, yogurt, waffles, fruit, hot pockets and wrapped croissant sandwiches. You can tell the management cares about making your stay comfortable and nice.
Very clean property, nice owners, good breakfast for the overall price.

We have stayed there twice now and we’ve enjoyed it both times been happy with the cleanliness and the quietness. And we feel that it’s a great price which we appreciate greatly.
The property is very outdated but it was a good place to stay for one night! We felt safe and the person that checked us in was very nice. The breakfast was very good and loved how they had snacks too (oatmeal cream pies are my fav)!
It was a welcoming and comfortable stay and an Awesome Breakfast.

Clean remolded room. Comfortable bed. Wonderful breakfast, eggs, sausage, bacon, potato wedges and more. I have food allergies and was well pleased with breakfast choices.
The front desk gentleman was very nice. The mattress very comfortable to sleep on. The breakfast was more than we expected! Older place but appears to be maintained.
The people were nice. The service was great, and there was an *actual* Continental breakfast (sausage, eggs, coffee, etc) rather than a sad frozen burrito like most motels.
The room was comfortable, the carpet had large stains which made us feel like we had to have footwear on. But the bed and other accommodations were good! We found another group and got to chat with them instead of staying in room. We’d stay here again

Friendly, very accommodating staff. Good hot breakfast
Older motel doing renovations. My not look the best from the outside but inside was a clean basic room with comfortable bed. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, sausage patties, sausage links, potaoes, waffles, yogurt, hot & cold cereal, toast, muffins, granola bars, apples, beverages and all tasted really good. Safe area of town. No pets.
