Rio Grande Motel

This small and quite motel is great as every room has a different decor and you feel at home. Clean rooms and kitchen's with comfy bed's and chairs. The service is great with the prices are worth writing about as I would not even consider going elsewhere.I stayed when the temps were in the single numbers and was very please how warm the room stayed not like those drafty box hotels.With other business to conduct in the area during 2016 and I do plan on staying here again. If your passing through stop by but I'd call ahead as it seems to get full quick. Overall I love this mom and pop motel

Loved it. Great vibe and unique decor, and the owner was really friendly and accommodating. It's got a style and he fully embraces it. Excellent location if you're heading to the Dunes or Creede or the surrounding area.Yes, there are things that may need repair, but it's small stuff: tiles, a loose or disconnected headboard, etcetera. It's fantastic for the price and it's CLEAN. That's the most important part. No bedbugs (I check at EVERY location I visit).It's also an easy walk to late night food. (I mean, late night in these towns is like 8pm, but you get it.)

I liked the place and the owner, reasonably priced and downtown location. Each room has a theme and I stayed in the Big Horn Sheep Suite!Walking for Dinner to Ninos is an option or hit the DQ. Also stop by the Monte Vista Wildlife Refuge and see the birds.

Stayed 3/18-19/ 2016Pros: Reasonably priced, Looks cute and fun (clever decor), Close to the things we were doing, Customer service was about average and what I expected.Cons: Heater was ON or OFF (electric fireplace), no night stands, luggage racks, closets, or tables to place your things, drain in the shower was incredibly slow, mattress springs were sprung and squeaked every time we moved, walls are paper thin - we could hear everything our neighbors were doing inside their rooms, and in their cars. Neither one of us got a decent night's sleep either of the two nights we were there.Worst part - something chewed on me pretty badly during our stay in room #6 (Bears). At first I thought it was an allergy to their detergent, but as the welts on my arms, chest, back and face calmed down with some antihistamines, they are clearly bites. I suspect bed bugs and will be calling the hotel in the morning to speak with someone about it. Final verdict - never again.

So wonderful, I highly recommend this place. Prices are fair, only $5 extra for dogs. The motif is the best type of "laid back country folk," I've encountered!! Front desk was accommodating and friendly. We made reservations, cancelled them because of car troubles, fixed the car, and re-scheduled our reservations.

Put this one on your "road less traveled" bucket list. It was charming and quaint, as well as clean and friendly. Each room is decorated differently and looks like a cabin experience. We stayed in the wild horses room. Our grandson was completely in awe. Sweet place I will visit again for sure

This place is awesome. A lot of thought put into the room. The gentleman who checked us in was nice. Great price! Only downside was the bedding. Kinda old and gross.

WONDERFUL!What a delightful place! It felt like we stayed in a cozy inn or a great aunt's extra bedroom.The folks that are renovating this 1950's motel are doing a great job. We were checked in by Elizabeth, who was just delightful, plus she was very welcoming to our dog and gave us great info on where we could walk Jake. (We chose the very grassy and clean Memorial Park just a short walk away.) She also mentioned the Sunflour Café down the street for breakfast, and it was AMAZING! Homemade, fresh everything, and the cinnamon roll might be the best pastry I've ever eaten.Our room was decorated with real books, duck decor, soft towels, and a very comfortable bed with plenty of pillows. I did have a little trouble with getting the correct water temperature in the shower (I was warned), and Elizabeth again was very helpful and apologetic that they hadn't gotten that fixed perfectly just yet. There is a bit of noise from the intersection just outside, but all in all, the three of us would love to stay here again.

Shabby? Yes. Chic? No. My room had 2 blankets NAILED to the wall as curtains. The chair had a blanket thrown over it to cover the holes in the chair. The ceiling light had only one dim bulb, The bathroom had 2 bulbs, one of which was burned out. It was so dark in this room I had to use the flashlight on my cell phone to see into my suitcase, so don't plan on being able to read anything here. As I stepped out of the shower next morning, I happened to glimpse down at the floor around the toilet. Yikes. Was that black mold on the tiles? Overall this room was dark and depressing, and there was no way to get any fresh air or light, except to leave your room door open. The bed was comfy and the room was quiet, but I do regret staying here, although I usually love these little vintage motels. I would definitely not stay here again.

Stopped here on our way from the Great sand Dunes National Park. Possibly the friendliest staff ever! I was really excited to stay in the mule deer room as it was clean and overly decorated with mule deer - it was cheesy and did not disappoint!! Would stay here again. Loved this little town!
