Motels in San Juan County

"We booked two king rooms and were told at check-in that our rooms were not available because they were given to someone else, so we got queen bed rooms. There was no apology given or anything. The condition of the rooms left much to be desired. Some amenities were missing, lights were broken and hanging out of the ceiling, and the rooms looked outdated and in major need of renovation. Will not stay here again and won't recommend this place to anyone else."

"Desert Rose was an ideal stop between Colorado and Arizona. The property presents well from the exterior with some construction alongside. Front desk staff were welcoming and answered questions. No direction or information on amenities was offered. Room was on the upper floor as requested - elevators are not available. Room was clean and well provisioned. Furniture is very old with most of the finishing either rubbed or peeled off. A simple refinishing or oiling would do well to preserve this classical furniture. Bed was newer and comfortable. Bathroom was clean and towels were plenty. Dinner at Duke's was very good; fillet prepared to exact temperature. Dessert menu sounded good with some made in house, but was not enjoyed. Staff were all excellent and appropriately friendly. The breakfast room is huge! The buffet is standard hotel breakfast and not always appealing. With so few guests, fresher eggs would have been lovely - only two eating meat the kitchen could have the eggs freshly prepared. Freshly made waffles were also available. Parking is sufficient and access off the highway was easy. The location provided an opportunity for an after dinner walk around "the neighborhood" and across the main road with caution. Certainly not budget friendly, with a few extra touches this could bring the property to a good level. "

"There was loud music playing in the neighborhood near the hotel, which was annoying. The room had one set of curtains that could only be closed by standing on the bed. Ridiculous! The property seemed to be a renovated old motel, with generally decent albeit basic renovations. On balance, our stay was fine but none of us was impressed by the experience. "

"Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Reminded me of a place where the Rat Pack would stay. Liked the historic sign."
