Great Find near the National Park

I stayed here with 8 of my friends while we visited Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We loved the fire pit and the central location. It perfectly fit our needs.

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.
