Ute Motel

Enjoying my stay a little outdated but a good place to stay

Pros: quiet, small, clean and super close to attractions; reasonably priced Cons: in an area I didn't always feel safe, old and in need of updating

We pulled into the parking lot and did not feel safe to even get out of the vehicle. The photo on this site is completely misrepresentative of the property. This was obviously used for mid to long term housing as the balconies were crowded with personal property and interior furniture (office chairs and loveseat) being used as patio furniture. Several people milling around their obvious residence. Disabled vehicle in the lot with smashed out window, missing mirror and antenna. Old appliances on parking lot, cleaning supplies and equipment in the yard, etc. we attempted to call as we left with no answer. We are outside of our refund window but believe we are owed a refund based upon misrepresentation. We found alternate lodging.

Overall very good. A few minor issues.

Run down in run down neighborhood.

GREAT VALUE. ROOM WAS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE.

If you are looking for a place that has uniform lightbulbs in the bathroom fixtures, or real carpet instead of carpet squares, this motel isn't for you. BUT, if you are looking for a quiet, clean place to sleep, this is the perfect option. Don't judge the book by its cover. From the outside, it looks a little sketchy. But inside, it's exactly what you've paid for. There is a flat screen TV, a bigger than average fridge, clean linens, excellent A/C and lots of high-pressure hot water in the shower. This is a small, family-owned motel that is less than 15 mins away from Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, Cave of the Winds, the US Olympic Museum and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Pike's Peak and other attractions are less than 30 mins away. It may not be the most luxurious place to stay, but for the price and its proximity to attractions, you can't beat it.

Nice attendant. Clean room. We had booked a room with one queen, but they gave us a room with 2 queen beds! That was unexpected, but great! Easy to check in/out. Park close to your room.

For the most part this hotel is fine if your looking for a cheap bed for the night, but I would not go back. It’s clean, the staff is friendly, but I was a bit uneasy watching the other guests coming and going. The whole evening there was a guy just sitting in his car in the parking lot. It was weird. Lastly, the AC didn’t work, and it was unbearably hot.
