"Location was AMAZING! And concept is great! Staff was SUPER helpful. Sadly, there is a lot of maintenance that need to be addressed. There is not enough staff on property (our server was also the host and the bartender - he was also the ONLY server for anyone who came in). There is potential for this property, but the prices they are charging are WAY out of range of what they provide (we had to move rooms due to lack of A/C (it was over 95 that day) and phone not working in room - it took over 3...

Top Dolores River Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Cortez

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean property and rooms. Nice continental breakfast. Hotel is older and rooms are smaller but has had upgrades done to the rooms. Such as new furniture and paint, very nicely decorated. Great water pressure, which is amazing after a day of traveling. We did have an issue with our air conditioner not working but it was a cooler night so we didn't need it that badly. Did not report it until we checked out. Still a great experience overall!"

Holiday Inn Express Mesa Verde-Cortez by IHG

8/10 Good

"The coffee machines at breakfast were a bottle neck and the breakfast was cold the first day. The rooms were clean and nice. They were quiet and comfortable except for the bedspread which seemed to get tangled up easily because it was so thin. It was close to our destination of Mesa Verde so we would stay again."

Econo Lodge Cortez near Mesa Verde

8/10 Good

"Nice older hotel fairly well kept. Clean and quiet. Super location. Could use new carpet or flooring. All else good. Good breakfast."

Retro Inn at Mesa Verde

10/10 Excellent

"Such a fun place to stay! The retro-themed decor was fanastic and really clever, loved how each room celebrated a different star from the old days. We ate at the Main Street Brewery on Main Street--food was great and also a fun place."

Baymont by Wyndham Cortez

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean!"

Hampton Inn Mesa Verde/Cortez

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was the best we had on a long trip. Highly recommend you choose this location. Clean, staff was very helpful, and great location."

National 9 Inn Sand Canyon

8/10 Good

"The property was obviously older and in need of some upgrade work However, the mgt and/or staff "seemed" to be trying hard to improve things. Also he drove down from an offsite location to do a late check-in for us. All the amenities were functional, the main thing I observed was subpar cleanliness of some items (towels, bedding, etc.). I'm guessing either they are having trouble obtaining sufficient staff, or perhaps the manager is trying to do the work alone. So couldn't call it my "first choice" for staying in Cortez, but it was there when we needed it (and didn't have to fight with elevators or long flights of stairs, which is very difficult for my spouse to deal with)."

Mancos Inn

8/10 Good

"Right in downtown Mancos. Small room with shower. Mattress lumpy, not comfortable. The upstairs area is quite charming with a sitting area and a large full kitchen where we made our lunches. Very clean. Be careful when you pay- you are offered the opportunity to add a tip and without thinking I tapped 20% on a bill of about $400. I wish I had said “no tip” and just left cash on the nightstand. When I asked the owner about it she said all the tip goes to the cleaning staff and offered a refund. I let it go. Lucky day for some housecleaner."

Cortez RV Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was very nice. The cabin was clean and the bed was decent. There was plenty of room for bags and my dog's bed. The bathroom was nearby and easy to access and I really liked that there was room to walk my dog it was fairly quiet for being so close to a main road. I didn't meet any staff as they had prepared an envelope with instructions. That was okay."
