Driving at 10:00 PM on I70 westbound with bleak Green River UT as the next possible stop I decided to overnight in Fruita. I was not looking forward to paying the going rate at one of the major chains when I noticed a somewhat obscure sign for the Balanced Rock Motel. I gave it a shot. A very nice Polish... More

I happened by chance at the Balanced Rock Motel. I had just had a stroll through Aspen Avenue in Fruita and as soon as I was about to get out of downtown I came across a two story grey building displaying a small sign : MOTEL. At the beginning I was hesitant thinking that a motel not displaying a visible... More

We did not hear the train mentioned by other reviewers the night we stayed there. Balanced Rock is pretty basic, no frills but we would definately stay here again! We also made reservations and were not given a confirmation number but had no issues with the reservation when we arrived.

This is a roadside motel run by a friendly family giving it a European feel. Highway and train noise are considerable but not problematic. Only place I've ever stayed with a bike wash. Great proximity to local restaurants and bike shops.

Let's be honest...there just aren't that many places to stay in Fruita. We picked the Balanced Rock Motel based strictly on reviews on Trip Advisor and other forums and are glad we did. For the money, you just can't get any better. We had Room #27, which had a king sized bed, but was a little cramped. The other couple... More

We spent 6 nights at the BR motel in Fruita in Room 29 while we were hiking in the area. The room was recently renovated with a very comfortable King size bed. It also had a small refridgerator that work well. Housekeeping was excellent here. The room was kept very clean and they even helped by organizing our stuff for... More
