My husband was doing Ride the Rockies, 83 miles in 80+ temps. I knew he wouldn't be happy if he had to wait until the designated check-in time of 3pm. I arrived at 1pm and was promptly given my key. The room was spacious and the ice machine in the hospitality room worked overtime to provide comfort for sweltering bikers... More

I was in town with my husband for a work trip and thoroughly enjoyed my stay! We did not stay in one of the cabins, but our room had a quaint cabin feel with a very nice kitchenette. If you want a more "homey feel" from your hotel experience, this is the perfect place. Recent motels I have stayed in... More

The windows in our room were old and sealed so we were unable to sleep with any fresh air (or risk leaving the door ajar which did not feel safe). One look at the carpet and you know you must wear socks at all times. Thin, worn bed sheets over a soft mattress that felt like foam. Otherwise, it seems... More

The customer service we experienced is beyond words. I've never been treated so poorly by anyone in the hotel industry. Not ever. During my conversation, I was informed, you pay when you check out. This was not case! Like most hotels, I'm sorry if this does not apply to motels. This was our first experience in a motel and our... More

We are sorry that you did not understand the terms of the reservation that was made through an online service that not only states that you must have a "valid ID and Credit Card" at the time of check-in and that your confirmation advises you that even we reserve the right to "pre-authorize" that card at the time of the...

Motel rates are way too high. We are on vacation and have stayed in many place, but this was by far the very worst. The room we stayed in was unclean and extremely dated, for the price Will never stay here again.

Our room was in the back of the property which made it very private and quiet. The property has several bungalow type of cottages but we chose the cheapest option, which couldn't have been more perfect. The room was spacious with both queen and king sized beds. There was a kitchenette as well. The only complaint I have is that... More

Thank you for writing a review, though we are sorry about the heater noise. We have taken further steps to be sure each guest is aware of the supplemental heaters in the rooms by placing notices inside each room. Again, we thank you, as your feedback helped us be sure each guest is pleased with their stay. More

Maybe we expected too much, but we have been disappointed. The staff was very nice and friendly but especially the "original rooms" were pretty much run down. Even though we changed rooms to a more modern one we did not feel comfortable at all. Anything in the room was dusty and there was an awful smell we couldn't adapt to.... More

In the middle of a househunting/camping vacation we found ourselves with a very sick pup and a very fair but unexpected vet bill. On the vets advice we sought a pet friendly "cool" room close to the hospital and amenities. What a blessing the San Juan was! Especially just coming off the labor day weekend!
