Adorable little place. We did a motel room with one queen bed. They allow dogs (which was what we…read moreneeded) but the grounds were still clean. It's right on the river so we enjoyed the water front patio at night and early morning (fishing). The rooms are smaller than the average hotel room, but it was more than enough for our night stay with two adults and a small dog.

This was by far the WORST stay I've ever had in any motel across the country. The person running…read morethe desk, John, was absolutely wasted drunk and inexcusably horrible to me. All I wanted was to point out our window latch was broken when we checked into our room. Out of nowhere and without provocation, he starts using profanity at me and yelling and screaming and cussing and name calling saying that "you're a p**sy for bringing that up" I told him it wasn't a big deal. But he wanted to kick me out over it. When I told him never mind and start walking away from him, he yells at me in the parking lot "F*** YOU P***SY!" The sheriff and cops were called as he started threatening me over literally nothing. The other motel staff protected us with a baseball bat to make sure he wouldn't hurt us as we were packing up to leave. He was black out drunk and should not even be working in that state. I can't believe the owner would let someone like him run the motel. I still have a sick feeling in my stomach over it. I hope John is fired and banned from Dolores. I want to thank Kathleen and the other nice lady and gentlemen who helped to keep us safe and protected from John. Lana, if you are reading this. FIRE JOHN NOW

Come for the hot springs. Stay for the all inclusive food and drinks…read more This place is pretty secluded. The last 10 miles drive will be on rocky road, but it's not that bad. No cell service within an hour of the property. The staff are sooo welcoming and helpful! Service is one of the best. The all inclusive food and drinks is worth the price of the room! Three meals a day is an experience of its own. We planned our daily activities according to meal time. Love that they have daily group activities. We participated in snowshoeing and it was so much fun. They have all the winter gears for guests to borrow so, don't worry if you didn't pack it all. We stayed in the Echo room, which is the smallest and cheapest. The bed is sooo comfy that we just stayed in bed majority of the time so the size of the room didn't matter. In the winter, Echo room guest uses the steam shower located in the bathhouse to shower. All three hot springs were amazing. We pacifically chose this property for their hot springs and it did not disappoint. The library was well kept, cozy, and organized. -Wi-Fi is spotty. Works here and there, and disconnect. - If you want lunch packed Togo on your last day, gotta tell them I'm advance like at check in. - Laundry service is complimentary, but they ask for 24hr turnover. Ours were returned same day after dinner.

Alice, and John were fantastic as well. But all the staff are fantastic! This year especially. We've been several times and this was by far our favorite staff experience. Soaking under the stars in the hot springs is incredible as are the communal dinners. The road to get here can be a bit bumpy but once you arrive you quickly see it was all very well worth it. There is something incredibly special about Dunton.

After a long drive through several states to arrive to the fair-weathered town of Cortez, Colorado,…read moreI was pleased to see this hotel within walking distance of so many places. It's an ideal location for those conscious of the environment to easily move around and find what you need. At first glance, I thought the fountain was inappropriate until I got closer and realized the water is meant to flow from a vase and not something that's... erm... Well something often uncovered on a Greek statue. Love love LOVE the Southwest theme! Native Americans come in to set up a pottery and jewelry table in the lobby Monday through Friday from 6 - 10 am. The breakfast also has a sizable spread just outside the lobby with a variety of coffee, tea, and juice to choose from. Also, it was nice to see Halloween decorations at the front desk, reminding me fondly of my childhood. The bathroom was spacious and came with a tub. Something I've noticed lately is that tubs only seem to come in handicap accessible rooms, and now knowing what I do, I don't wish to ever take that away from someone who needs it more. However, I'll note that the counters, closet, and door latches are all shorter with those needs in mind. The floor tiles coming in have these really awesome Native American stamps, and the lamps have similar design. The curtains are in hues of green, blue, and turquoise, and the furniture is nice. The tellie works, and the bed has no right to be so comfortable. During our first night, the lamp switched on and off by itself repeatedly, walking us up at odd hours. I know, I know, you're thinking, it's not haunted, there's a scientific explanation for this! There was. The bulb was loose, and vibrations from the floor above us kept tripping it. BUT WAIT! There's more. As I have the ability to work from my laptop, I noticed things slightly out of place. Not moved, per se, but shifted. And on Thursday, my vape lay flat on the counter, minding its own business and not hurting anything when I watched in real time as it rolled off the counter and shattered on the tile. RIP glass tank, RIP. I will say right now that it was far from the ledge and the surface was level. My vape had no reason to roll away on dangerous adventures. All I can say is if my room was haunted, 1) that's freaking awesome and 2) it's likely a playful ghost. But I really wish it hadn't targeted my poor vape. That gets expensive. Speaking of oddities of the non supernatural variety, the floor length mirror is right in front of the toilet. For the love of all things good, why is this a thing? I really don't need to watch myself do my business on the pot. That's weird. A final thing I will note regarding the building that has been echoed in many reviews is that the foundation, decor, carpeting, and dim hallway lighting is all dated. It actually didn't bother me because it gave the odd happenings a very fun appeal, and I also felt an old charm. However, this hotel probably could do with a remodel at some point. Amenities: The indoor pool and hot tub are nice. I wouldn't say the pool is large, but there was enough room for me to comfortable swim laps while my husband relaxed in the jacuzzi after being on his feet all day. Laundry room: didn't use. This hotel charges for those features, and half the equipment was out of order. Fitness Room: right next to the laundry room, and both of these amenities are in a building in the same parking lot but separate from the main building. Staff: Excellent! They were on top of our needs, providing me with extra coffee for my Kürig, switching out our towels since we have the DND sign up, and even placing trash bags on my door handle after I'd set out my bags in front of my door (I'd brought my own but this was nice). I even got to know the morning housekeeper a bit during my stay. My week consisted of a fantastic, if not slightly spooky and fun experience. I'd definitely return.

**Family-Owned, Clean Pet-Friendly Motel That Checks All the Boxes**…read more The White Eagle Inn was a very nice stop to recharge on our way to New Mexico. Being a family-owned hotel with just three owners in 60 years, it was satisfying to support a local business run by two charismatic and enthusiastic owners that deeply care about their property rather than another hotel chain run by the "Big Six" (IHG, Choice, Wyndham, Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton). We arrived late at night, but the owners were so kind to arrange a late check-in process. Check-in time is from 3-9 so they were generous to accommodate us. The late check in was convenient and socially distant. The owner Kellie even sent ice to our freezer! Nice touch. -Location: The hotel is located right off the highway through Cortez, though a little removed from the city center. -The Hotel: White Eagle has a homey, down-to-earth yet earnest feel. It is a lovely throwback! There are 16 rooms and a nice picnic area with grill. There are 2 areas for the furbabies. Pet friendly but you absolutely need to declare your animals. Rooms are a single level motel format with quaint front desk area. -The Room: We had the triple room 17 which was very comfortable with three double beds. It is located at the end of the motel and has two chairs and a table in front. The room was clean and had retro wood paneling and traditional lamp shades. The bathroom was properly sealed and very clean. There is a table and chairs for eating as well as desk with chair. The beds are a bit springy but nice. It was so nice to have three beds for three travelers. Light fixture above window may need some dusting (mostly negligible but just wanted to point it out). Room blackouts out with ease for easy sleep. The bathroom had tile floors and the shower was very quiet. The water pressure is lower, but this is the desert! Perfectly understandable. However, the hot and cold faucet knobs took more adjusting to get the right temperature (bounced between very hot and very cold fast). They did not skimp, with tons of towels, washcloths, toilet paper, and shampoos/soap (came in individual packages) in the room which was so welcome! A/C ran consistently and the room stayed cool in the Colorado heat. Two important notes are that check out is at 10 AM and that there is no breakfast (though there is tea and coffee). Better get your early bird game on and get the worms! Check out is seamless, just put the key in a drop-off at the lobby door. The owner Mark personally sent us goodbye and gave us some great recommendations for the area. Positives: + Enthusiastic Staff + Three Beds Option + Tons of Towels + Quiet Shower + Only 16 Rooms + Easy Check In and Check Out + Great Value Neutrals: / Location Quips: - No Breakfast (understandable with COVID) - 10 AM Check In (due to COVID) - Knobs on Shower Overall White Eagle Inn was fantastic and we will definitely return when we see Mesa Verde! Excellent Value! 106 for a clean room and three beds is unbeatable.

Held our breath while opening the door to the room, but room 17 was clean and well equipped with 3 double beds for our family of 5. Cable TV worked well, internet took a few minutes to connect but worked fine, and showers were hot. Other patrons were quiet and caused no disturbances. Only issue was the tub drain that did not drain, but after borrowing a plunger and attempting to gain flow, the manager gave me the room key to the room next door so we could continue our shower process. Problem solved! It is family- run establishment, which I like to support- and although dated, it was clean, convenient, and at $147, more affordable than other options in Cortez. Thanks, White Eagle!
