Monte Villa Historic Inn

Needed a room for the night and this hotel was the most reasonably priced I located on Expedia along Highway 60 between Cortez and Alamosa, CO. The hotel is quite unique and historic with interesting items on display or still within the hotel (elevator, cash register, etc.). The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Parking is behind hotel and was secure. Breakfast was included and very good (real scrambled eggs, potatoes, Portuguese sausage, toast, cereal, muffin, etc.). Overall, I have very good stay for a decent price and more breakfast than I should have eaten.

One of the best hotel experiences I've had in a long time.The owner could not be nicer or more helpful. I was there with my 93-year-old dad and the owner went above and beyond to make sure my dad was well accommodated. Staying here is like stepping back in time. It's an historic hotel and it has the perfect mix of keeping its original charm and the upgrades to make your stay more enjoyable. I loved the old-fashioned elevator!! So fun to operate. There are also convenient stairs nearby. It's located right in the main part of town. You can easily walk to several really good restaurants less than a block away!! There's also a bakery that's just a two-minute walk away! Location, location, location!It was really quiet. I heard zero noise from the hall or from other rooms. Didn't hear people walking above, nothing. Just peace and quiet and a very comfortable bed. There's also a good-sized refrigerator with a freezer in the room! Yeah, a freezer!! What a great perk. There's also a microwave and a coffee maker with coffee. Our bathroom was really well organized and the shower fixtures were upgraded. The Wifi was good and fast. Easy connection. They have a really nice free breakfast. It's simple, and it's perfect. I forgot something in my room without realizing it and had a call within 30 minutes of leaving that they'd found it. They really care about their guests!You can stay at a boring standard-fare hotel on the edge of town or in Alamosa, or you can stay here and have a much more memorable experience. It's like no other!

What a great find? Not at all what we were expecting?! We rounded the corner and honest to gosh it was a real hotel. What a treat to discover that it is rightfully historic too. It is on the the National Register of Historic Places awarded by the US Department of Interior! It is well managed and the lobby, factor in Covid, reads very 2022. Which was efficient and appreciated. Thereafter, you get the tour and get ready to walk back in time in a great way.We chose a smaller room, tucked away from the street (super quiet) but still had epic AC, fridge, microwave and coffee pot. They still offer a cooked breakfast. It was our little haven for a few days while we rested and enjoyed exploring their local restaurants. Special shoutout for the elevator - very fun; it's not often you'll have the opportunity to experience one this old?! Also, we learned there is a Sandhill Crane festival in March where there is a remarkable number of birds during their migration. We will be back!

This is such a 1900s amazing hotel. All the decor was so welcoming and amazing. The hospitality was very sweet as well. On regular days prior to Covid they have live entertainment, bar, and area downstairs. Due to Covid, they gave us a breakfast baggie with water, fruit, muffin, and juice. The bathroom is tiny but adorable. The entire layout is rustic and antique. Perfect location near DQ. WE LOVED IT! And there's tv and air conditioning. And key locks.

I previously stayed at The Comfort Inn because my daughter needed a pool after hours in the car. But I like unique and/or historic properties...I'll chose and independent hotel over a chain hotel anyway. The owner Jeannie was super accommodating and gave us a clean, quiet room. The bedding and mattress were lovely. She clearly cares about guest comfort as she has installed portable air conditions in the rooms. The restaurant was closed, but continental breakfast was included. It was good value compared to an expensive chain hotel room.

We recently spent one night at the Monte Villa hotel in Monte Vista. We are very forgiving considering Covid related issues with a business, but this was just plain bad management. The manager told us at check in about all of the issues, including hard to find employees to run bar/restaurant, supply chain issues, etc. She then told us how to operate the free standing heater in the room. The heater was vented out the glass window (yes, they cut a hole in the window glass). The King size bed barely fit in the room. We asked to be moved immediately due to the loud TV and voices directly across the hall. Ok.....fast forward. The next morning we met a friend in town for breakfast. We knew checkout time was 11am. We went up to our 3rd floor room at 10:20 or so. Our key cards did not work in the door. We were locked out and we had one bag left in the room. We walked down to the office. There was no one to be found, not in the 'Office' and not behind the desk, and no where in the hotel. I called the two different numbers to try to get ahold of the owners. After 5 phone calls, and a half hour of calling and waiting, the woman called me and said they had gone to Walmart....in Alamosa! They were on their way back to the hotel and it would be 10 minutes. A woman from the Chamber of Commerce office next door was sympathetic to our issue, not something they want to see happen to people visiting their town. As the owner arrived, the situation got worse and the police were called, not by us. We just wanted our bag and to get on with our trip. The owner was beligeret with others and she tried to explain herself to us over and over. We told her that she is responsible for her business/establishment, and she was in the wrong. This couple has no business trying to run a hotel/service business. Period.

i saw mixed reviews on this place but gave it a shot to book for a trip with some friends. The rooms were clean, the flatscreen was nice, and it came with two separate king beds! 10/10 would recommend

We stayed in the Monte Villa Historic Inn on Wednesday night, September 25, 2024. We came in at dusk with no desire to continue into the setting sun. We had no reservation, just by chance saw the vacancy sign. We were welcomed graciously by the owner?? We were given a very fair rate and further offered a senior discount. I interrupted her as she explained how the heating/air conditioning worked in our room. I requested a room with a screened window, because we prefer the fresh night air to running an air conditioner or fan. Our request was honored. She graciously changed the room she had already booked us in and moved us to the third floor, away from the street noise. Yes the heating unit was awkward to move around, but this hotel is historic in nature and you have to expect some things are not going to be like a brand new Hilton or even a brand new Super 8. The decor was beautiful, the bed was a King and had a brand new mattress...slept very well with the window open and fresh mountain air cooling the room. The decor throughout the hotel is spectacular and the elevator is an antique that runs smoother than some of the newer motels/hotels that I have been in. Enjoyed a wonderful home cooked breakfast and conversation with the cook the next morning. Left feeling refreshed and renewed to continue our journey home. Will have no problem staying here anytime we have the opportunity. Maybe in March for the Sandhill Crane Festival.

We had a terrible experience . we got there little after 10pm and the owners reprimanded us for being late. The room is musty and there is a one unit in the room for air conditioning makes loud noise and hardly cools the room. on the second night I woke up at 1am feeling sick and can't breath I realized we have no power and no air. I tried to call the front desk but no one answered, I went down to look for help but couldn't find any one. The owners was very disrespectful the next day and refused to acknowledge the there was anything wrong. I wish I could put the clip of the front desk incident .

If I could give 0 stars I would ... my sister n I traveling alone arrived late ..we absolutely adored this place . the ambiance the vibe everything was wonderful .all antique which we loved but the service was the worst of my life .. we ate breakfast breakfast employee was also wonderful! Food was decent then while we were dressing in our room at 9am check out at 11 am the owners husband decided to just walk in our room without knocking... I was naked and my sister was in her underwear . He claims he saw nothing n was apologetic but his wife however was rude irate and obscene. When I expanded what happend she told me "o well sue me" n hung up ..she then came yelling and screaming to our room. Calling us names ... we had to be escorted out by police just to feel safe. And she continued to yell at us while police where there. I recorded everything and we made a police report ...pls becareful
