This is a very clean hotel, We can parked our motorcycle right in front of our room. The place is not fancy. It is an older style hotel owned by a very friendly couple. Room is well kept and nice but smaller then Motel-8's room. The location is very convenience, close to many restaurant and Wal-mart etc I will stay... More

Didn't expect much in Grand Junction. Just an overnight stop. This motel is clean and comfy and a great price. On main road but room was quiet. A/C worked well and was not too loud. King bed, coffee maker, fridge. Ate at tequila restaurant almost next door and it was okay-not great but we are not sick! More

We tend to gravitate towards well known chains at rates way over $100.00 but after a recent visit to one of those 4 star hotels, where we had to change rooms as the odor was pretty horrific, I was more likely to consider the El Palomino positive ratings at TripAdvisor and spend the night at a $60.00 rate. It was... More

My wife and I travel fairly often and we typically stay in budget motels. One of my main complaints though with the budget option is its tough to find a CLEAN motel room unless you do some homework first. The El Palomino is well worth a stay if you happen to be in GJ for a visit or even a... More

Clean, concise, and not trying to be anything other than what it is-- one of the least expensive motels in G.J., Colorado. However, just because they don't pretend to be the Ritz, El Palomino makes a good effort at what you want in a motel room at this rate-- a thoroughly clean room, comfortable bedding, and reasonably quiet. It is... More

If you would rather spend your money doing things and just need a place to sleep this is the place. I never would have picked this from the road, so appreciate the reviews. Good sized room, old but spotless. Updated bathroom, very clean. Owners seen to do it all and live on site. Fridge and microwave and in room coffee... More

I chose El Palomino based on a prior review that noted they were truck-friendly. We were not disappointed. The proprietor seemed a bit gruff at first (on the phone) but turned out to be quite nice. FYI: He was, however, adamant about "no smoking, no pets." Our requirements are simple: cheap, clean, comfy, and climate-controlled. For around $50, we got... More

Very comfortable. Very clean. A great value in GJ for a two-star motel (two-star meaning fewer amenities). More

This hotel was as advertised. Our bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Wireless worked well. We found good restaurants in the area. Near the Veterans Hospital. Although near the main road we could not hear road traffic and slept well. The complimentary breakfast was basic cereal, fruit, juice and coffee. Only concern was that there was not a... More

The El Palomino is clean, updated, with friendly service for a great price. It's just the basics in this older brick motel, but our room was clean, bed comfy, and towels, pillows and sheets in good condition. Great value for the price. Our only issue was the loud room heater with a very strong blower needed to keep us warm... More
