Overall, this was a good to great hotel. The room was nice. Bed was large and comfortable. Artwork was themed to Mesa Verde Native American style, which was fun. My wife especially liked the mirror in the bathroom area. Breakfast was great. Large breakfast area and lots to choose from. Cinnamon rolls were very good. Pancake machine was kind of fun (but set to a little too lite for my taste...i'd rather it was cooked a little more). Fruit, juices, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. Only complaint was check in. We got there at about 8:30, which is late but not that late. There was no one at the front desk. We called around the corner, no one. I actually called the hotel in my phone, and the phone right in front of us rang and rang, and no one answered. Eventually someone came, but we had been waiting for close to 10 minutes.

Excellent Stay in Cortez, CO

My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn express in Cortez, Colorado while we were on a road trip from Park city Utah to Albuquerque New Mexico. We stayed one night and it was one of the best experiences we had on our road trip. The front desk staff was friendly and informative. It was quiet and clean so we enjoyed a restful night’s sleep. The most memorable part was the breakfast, which was included in the room rate. The breakfast had everything we could imagine from fresh cooked pancakes to hot sausage and scrambled eggs, four kinds of juices, etc.. I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express, and I recommend joining their IHG rewards program.

This is IHG?

This is a very old, very tired and dated Holiday Inn Express. It's dark and dingy and nothing like the IHG's that we stay at. The room was tiny and the cleaning standards are low. (The sheets were clean thankfully!) There are signs posted stating that they are updating the property but I saw no evidence of any work being done. Not sure this place is worthy of the IHG brand. The breakfast was surprisingly good and the attendant was very pleasant. We moved across the street to the Hampton Inn for our second night, it was only four bucks a night more and worth it.

Very Comfortable Holiday Inn

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.

Fourth time I've stayed here. I use the little gym in a separate building and they always keep it clean and ready to go. Solid continental breakfast, very friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed and chairs. A couple workstations are in a common area, with printers.
