Nice place, a little challenging to stay there during the remodeling efforts. Their guest business center was disappointing, it's there, but it's clearly an after thought. I would recommend for my friends to go here.

Breakfast included hot items such as cheese egg omelet, bacon, biscuit, and gravy, pancakes, and cinnamon rolls. Many breakfast drinks to choose from. Breakfast staff... More

Made reservations a month before - one of the most expensive hotels in Cortez. When we got thee the lobby was under construction and our rooms were not ready. (We were early). The clerks seemed to be "shell shocked" and said they were new. Hotel was full and they offered no possibility of assigning other rooms. We asked to use... More

We were very pleased with this hotel. The rooms had just been remodeled. The breakfast was good as well and the staff kept the area very clean. We would definitely stay here again. Tip: If you need to do laudry, get some quarters because the laundry room does not have a change machine.

They have a POOL. The pool area smelled heavily of clorine but the kids didn't mind. The view from the pool was not too bad but the pool itself was nice after the dryness of Messa Verde. The staff was professional and if you would like to buy tourquoise jewelry, it's in the lobby. The jewelry is all Navajo made... More

This Holiday Inn is one of the first hotels that you find coming from Mesa Verede NP. It is a litle nicer than the average HI Express. Rooms are well appointed and clean. The breakfast was typical buffet for HI Express. We got a room on highway side, but soundproofing was good so we did not hear much road noise.... More

First, this is probably the nicest hotel in Cortez, so if you looking to visit the Mesa Verde, like we were, and the hotels in the park are closed for the season, like they were, I would definitely stay here. Check-in very fast and easy, and perk #1 was the Navajo woman selling her handmade jewelry and pottery in the... More
