Montrose

This place was terrible.  The sheets were dingy and the place stunk.  I left and found another hotel because it was so disgusting and they would not refund my money!  I never leave reviews, but I felt this time it was necessary.

worst place I've ever experienced

This place was ok, beds comfy. Had a full kitchen which I suppose we didn’t need would have given more space. $78 otd fair rate.
No HD tv. Terrible toilet seat and no room. But with gift card( we will use Shell gas) a good deal. Starvin Arvin next door good breakfast.
Younger Middle Eastern gal charged my card before check in and had no people skills or personality 
Black Canyon is awesome!

On way to see John Wayne filming sites in Ridgway, Choice $50 gift card w 2 stays

We spent the night in Montrose prior to a visit to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. Montrose was surprisingly busy in early August, so we ended up at the local Rodeway Inn. 

We know, of course, that Rodeway is known to be a low-end brand. Comparisons of these properties to higher-end economy properties is unfair on a "you get what you pay for" basis. However, our concerns with this property we about the item that we expect in any level of property: good maintenance and cleanliness. 

We had no issues with the room itself, which appeared to have been recently renovated and was itself in clean and in good shape. The common areas were the problem. We had a small bag of trash to dispose of on our arrival and we found every available trashcan to be overflowing. 

Also, our outside-entry room was located on the second floor. To reach it, we passed a small-but-filthy gas barbecue unit propped up on the A/C unit of the first room we passed and a dirty, recently used marijuana-type pipe and lighter on the A/C unit of the next room in plain sight and easily accessible to an child walking by. 

Even in these difficult times in the hospitality industry, basic maintenance and safety levels must be maintained. This property falls short. 

Last, this room was described on the Choice Hotels app as having a "kitchen." What that apparently means for this property is that it has a small refrigerator and a microwave, which are nearly standard in the economy hotel market. This is not a "kitchen" by any definition of the term. Perhaps the owner meant to distinguish this room from other available rooms with no refrigerator or microwave, but the proper way to advertise that situation would be to say that in the description of the rooms.

Subpar Even by Rodeway Inn Standards - Misleading Room Description

I had a great experience at Rodeway Inn! I found a deal on Priceline for $75 a night for a room that included a full kitchen & king sized bed. For an inexpensive roadside inn, it was well above my expectations. It was clean & spacious with a full sized refrigerator and oven. The towels were a little small and sheets a little thin, but we asked for extras and they obliged.  The motel is an easy day trip from lots of great hikes at a reasonable rate!

Great Stay for a Low Price!

Though clean, our room felt dingy. The big chair looked dirty, the sheets and pillowcases smelled clean but were yellowed.  Unlike the other 3 Choice hotel brands we've used since Covid, this one offers no breakfast at all. Maybe they should use the money they are saving to buy new linens?? A lot of people sitting out smoking in front of their rooms, including the cleaning lady in front of ours when we checked out.  The wifi is the worst I've encountered at a hotel. Pros are the price and location.  There is also a kitchenette in the room if you need those amenities.  We would choose somewhere else if we returned to Montrose,  but believe you get what you pay for here.

Very Average

Nice motel great staff friendly.  WiFi good in lobby hit or miss in some rooms. Pool going under repair upgrades being done
 Can not express the gratitude for them returning an item I left at hotel overall good stay

On vacation

This is not your mama's old Rodeway Inn. Apparently, it was a different kind of hotel before Rodeway took it over. We opened the door to an incredible kitchenette: stove, sink, full refrigerator and freezer, all along one wall. Plenty of room for the king bed and bureau/desk with a television on top. 
Hot water was plentiful, and The shower had an adjustable head for pulse water settings. But be careful, for the tub/shower is very, very slippery. Standing on a wet washcloth is a great stabilizer.
Everything was clean and well-maintained. The only thing we found totally frustrating was the very bad Wi-Fi. We later found out that they were in repair mode, and the repair man had twice failed to show up.
Everyone from tourists to bikers are welcomed at this Rodeway. We were surrounded by burly bikers, but they were as friendly & polite as you can be.

All are welcome; clean motel

We were booked for two nights. The first thing we saw was the faulty air conditioning coverage in the footpath. The rooms are very crowded. The fruit floor is restricted to what is needed. The tables were not cleaned after the previous guests, although the hotel employee had nothing to do. There was no water in the pool as offered on the website.

It needs to be renovated!!!

We have stayed here before and knew that they accepted pets. First when arriving we must have waited for 10 minutes before the front desk person showed up. She was cleaning rooms. When asking for a room and giving full disclosure of our 2 dogs she quoted us a price that was acceptable. I signed my receipt which showed the pet fee and had a pleasant stay. I’m always very conscious about what housekeeping goes through, so I stripped my bed, collected the trash, and cleaned up all the dog poop that was in their little yard. Not just my dogs, mind you. When I got home and checked my visa statement I see that they charged my card an additional $30 after I had left without my card present!  Very disappointing! Upon calling she stated I did not disclose my pets. Wrong! I was very upfront.  She blamed the manager. It put a damper on my stay. We will not be back.  Also save breakfast for Starvin Arvin’s next door.

Additional charges applied after

On a day when every other motel in Montrose wanted from $300 - $600 for basic rooms, this one charged the same price they always did.  Room was clean and everything worked.  Comfortable bed.  Quiet.  Decent but basic breakfast.  Good value for the money.
