My mother and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Cortez, Colorado, in September 2011, and we were simply amazed by this little establishment. Beautifully decorated and appointed, this hotel offered us so much more than we were expecting. First of all, the hot breakfast they serve every morning offered plenty of healthy choices, which is always refreshing. Also,... More

Good morning Consuelo C! Thank you for the super awesome review! We are all blushing here after reading your review. We are remodeling every room this winter, one at a time, and can’t wait for it all to be done! We are also getting a nice big automatic door for the front entrance, which will be nice when guests have... More

The Four Corners area of southwestern Colorado is a big tourist destination for nearby Mesa Verde National Park and other attractions. That would usually mean a stay in the small town of Cortez. While there are a few hotels and motels in Cortez, this property is almost assuredly the first and only choice if you want a quality stay. A... More

Please never make me go back again. The rooms were outdated, and I layed towels down on the beds because I wasn't sure what I was laying on. The pool was old. Ok, my kids loved our kids suite, which included multiple bunks in their "fort holiday.". They thought it was the coolest room ever! Also, laundry facilities were appreciate... More

Good afternoon 1travelerof6! I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay; it sucks that we’re on your Yuck list. I have scoured our front desk and housekeeping notes for any issues we have had regarding beds. The pool could use a good sprucing which it should get at least partially here in another month. The refrigerators and microwaves are... More

This was probably the very best Holiday Inn Express that we have ever encountered, and we've seen quite a few. From the time you check in to the time you leave, you really "feel" the great Southwest in the decorations and amenities. The hotel is located in a quiet area and we never heard any traffic noise. The room itself... More

We were heading from Albuquerque to Salt Lake City to visit family. This hotel stay was perfect from check-in to check-out! The service was the absolute best. Cassandra, the awesome morning desk clerk, had some ideas for us when we asked about local swimming areas. She actually phoned her lovely aunt before 7:00 AM who gave us turn-by-turn directions to...

I would recommend staying here if you are in Cortez or visiting Mesa Verde. This is a very enjoyable place. Outside in the front of the hotel, welcoming music invites you in. The genres ranged from jazz to country, and I found it fun and charming.The rooms were nice, quiet, very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The downstairs... More

The reviewers are correct - this is THE place to stay in Cortez. We stayed two nights while we visited Mesa Verde (only 9 miles from the hotel), and we're glad we took the Trip Advisor recommendations. The staff members were very friendly, the rooms large and very clean, and the breakfast excellent. The wireless internet was fast, and the... More

Nice motel. Great lobby, helpful staff. Clean room. Great breakfast. Adequate pool with spa (a tad cool), and dry sauna. The only negative was the hallway leading to our room reaked of cigarette smoke. We couldn't smell it in our room or other parts of the motel. More

I agree about the pool, we have that thing between 82-84 and yet it always seems a bit chilly, which is funny for a California boy because I literally grew up in the ocean and it was never anywhere close to that and yet, felt warm most of the time....
