Very Comfortable Holiday Inn

Published Date: Jan, 6, 2025 Travel Date: Jan, 1, 2025 Rating: 3 Super good motel in Cortez, with many good qualities usually found only in more upscale and expensive lodging options.
Older property, but with many pleasant amenities, including indoor pool and hot tub type spa bath. Comfortable beds. Pleasant continental breakfast, including eggs, bacon etc., included in your stay.
Friendly and professional staff, night and day. And.. Plenty of varied dining choices in Cortez, from McD’s and Popeyes etc., up to the excellent Farm Bistro or Lizard Lounge in downtown Cortez just up the road. In nearby Dolores, just 10 miles north on the San Juan Skyway (SR 145), excellent new steakhouse called SteakOut, for lunch or dinner.
This Holiday Inn Express is highly recommended.

Solid continental breakfast, very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed and chairs. A couple workstations are in a common area, with printers.

Candice, I hope I spelled it correctly, provided outstanding service to my family and I during our visit on September 4th! Someone gives this young woman a promotion!

Published Date: Oct, 10, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 Check in was easy and quick
The room was decent sized and clean
The room had a fridge and microwave and a big TV
the AC worked well and wasn't too loud
The sliding glass door had a broken lock, but only spiderman could climb up there so I guess not a big deal.
The bath was decent size and clean
The shower was somewhat hard to get a constant temp. not sure if diverter was broken or what.
The bed was somewhat old and the mattress was a bit saggy in the middle.
There were outlets on both sides of bed
they had a gym but it was across the parking lot. it was actually pretty decent with free weights and a few machines.
They had a pool which I didnt use
Sleep quality was good
Breakfast was good
Overall a slightly worn but mostly comfortable holiday Inn

Poor sound insulation between floors

Published Date: Sep, 20, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 Very poor sound insulation between floors. I woke in the middle of the night thinking someone was creeping about our room and then it sounded as if someone was taking a shower in our bathroom! Sound seemed to radiate down the walls and into the room. Then when upstairs was leaving early, the sound of them walking across floor was very loud. Otherwise, a pretty standard HIE.
