Top Rio Grande Southern Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Cortez

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean property and rooms. Nice continental breakfast. Hotel is older and rooms are smaller but has had upgrades done to the rooms. Such as new furniture and paint, very nicely decorated. Great water pressure, which is amazing after a day of traveling. We did have an issue with our air conditioner not working but it was a cooler night so we didn't need it that badly. Did not report it until we checked out. Still a great experience overall!"

Holiday Inn Express Mesa Verde-Cortez by IHG

8/10 Good

"The coffee machines at breakfast were a bottle neck and the breakfast was cold the first day. The rooms were clean and nice. They were quiet and comfortable except for the bedspread which seemed to get tangled up easily because it was so thin. It was close to our destination of Mesa Verde so we would stay again."

Retro Inn at Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Such a fun place to stay! The retro-themed decor was fanastic and really clever, loved how each room celebrated a different star from the old days. We ate at the Main Street Brewery on Main Street--food was great and also a fun place."
