Top Dinosaur Journey Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Fruita

10/10 Excellent

"Great location to stay before driving through the Colorado national monument. Just what three brothers on motorcycles needed!"

Balanced Rock Inn

10/10 Excellent

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

The Mulberry House for Fun in Fruita

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, comfortable, and spacious for three of us. I would stay here again. One neighbor has a dog that was barking early Sunday morning but nothing the owner can control. The ceiling fans shake a bit too much to use but the swamp cooler makes a big difference so definitely turn that on at night if it’s been hot outside and you like the sleep with it cool."

Unique downtown Fruita apartment with bike storage!

8/10 Good

"A very clean apartment with an excellent location. Having a bike storage room is a big plus. the kitchen is fully equipped. there is a dedicated parking spot adjacent to the front door. this was our second stay here and it was as good as the first time."

Modern Bungalow in the Heart of Fruita

Walk to Downtown [] Game Room [] Private Fenced Yard

10/10 Excellent

"What a fun location. We were only able to stay one day, but really enjoyed our stay in Fruita. The location is on a quiet street, but still walkable to downtown. We loved being able to walk our dogs to dinner that night. The kids LOVED the "secret" den (it's behind a door that they didn't know about). The also loved the game room in the backyard and we appreciate the A/C unit on the 100 degree day. We would absolutely recommend and would stay here again if we were in Fruita."
