We stayed here for several nights prior to riding the kokopelli trail in early May. Excellent value and very comfortable. Firm beds, free Internet and super clean. The owners are there and it makes a difference. I normally stay at name brands like Hyatt and Marriott but wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended. Pluses: bike wash station and...

Great service and really nice room. Cheap as well. Loved that the owner said the full price at first question (but I guess it's because he's from Europe originally..). Safe and quiet place. Free wifi.

Driving at 10:00 PM on I70 westbound with bleak Green River UT as the next possible stop I decided to overnight in Fruita.

it is run - as it seemed - by a family with Polish roots. Very nice! Good value for your money. the train that passes the house starting from around 6 am is noisy in the mornings so count on waking up real early :-) room equipped with fridge and microwave, tv and coffee maker. in the morning they offer...

This is a roadside motel run by a friendly family giving it a European feel. Highway and train noise are considerable but not problematic. Only place I've ever stayed with a bike wash. Great proximity to local restaurants and bike shops.
