The only problem we had was no one was at the front desk around 4 pm, indicated call the front desk which i did and the phone rang right in front of me and the mail box was full so you couldnt leave a message. I had to write a note and someone called me back and left our key in a lock box a short time later.

The hotel itself was decent, beds were comfortable, and it was quiet. My issue was the price! Over $250 a night with taxes which is absurd being a small town and an average place. I would stay here again if the price goes down, otherwise not worth it!

The rate for this hotel is over priced. The room was tiny. No space to move around. There was no breakfast. Manager was not available to ask about breakfast. Waste of $$$.

This was my second visit and it was still a fantastic stay. The Minecart is so unique and cute. It has all the necessities without all the fluff. The rooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are comfy. The woman at the front desk is always so friendly and attentive. The amenities are exactly what you need and the proximity to dining and the fairgrounds are convenient. I 100% recommend staying here and will definitely be returning.

Clean though lacking breakfast

Nice modern room. Very clean though on the small side. Only complaint is they advertise free breakfast; what a joke. Tea or coffee, yogurt, or Poptart. Very tight parking for pickup trucks.

This is not a fancy spot. It is an old piece of property that has been very cleverly redone to make a clean and pleasant place to stay. It offers a very nice accommodation at a very reasonable price. It is excellent for what it is. It is also very close to downtown.

Road noise is inevitable but having the air conditioning on helps. It's an excellent motel but it is a motel-- no hallways and your car is right outside your door. There's a great coffee shop a few minutes' walk from the motel and a restaurant next door. It's easy walking distance to the town.

Comfortable and clean

Looks like an average street side motel, but it is newly remodeled inside, and very clean and comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. We left a clothing item, and they called us so we could return to retrieve it. Breakfast is grab&go — coffee, granola bars or pop tarts, yoghurt etc.

Cannot recommend Minecraft

Thus place is an old motor court type of motel. The rooms and the lobby have been ‘refurbished’ (actually cheaply and not very well) so it’s clean. But the rooms are VERY small and the bathroom is barely big enough for one person. The “grab and go” breakfast was a ‘granola bar’ or ‘pop tart’ from Walmart. The coffee was awful. This motel is not staffed 24/7, requires ‘digital check in and check out’, which I do not really care for. And the price was the most I have paid so far per night after being in the road for three nights. I do not recommend it. It was one of the lower rates for lodging in Montrose, CO. There’s a reason why.
