I chose this motel because of the positive reviews and I echo many of the sentiments. Clean and friendly albeit dated. I thought it was very reasonable. Rooms had a microwave and mini fridge. There were parking spots in front of your room ( I didn't get some of these amenities at the Grand Canyon Lodge at $300 per night!). The furniture have some wear and tear but I was happy with my stay. It's about an hour and a half from Black Canyon. Very quiet as it is set back from the road. Everyone at the reception desk was welcoming. It makes me rethink lodging options as covid subsides. It was nice to have reception assist and have rooms with a working layout. I totally forgot they had a hot tub, until the receptionist reminded me when hearing about my hike. It is in a hut with seating for six, so a bit intimate. I decided to jump in as it was empty. The rooms have a/c and portable heaters. I didn't see vents but they must have a central heating source. I turned on the portable before jumping into bed as the overnight dipped into the 20's. read more

See all

What a great little hotel. The rooms were nice and clean. The hotel staff was super friendly and caring. Nice breakfast as well. I highly recommend this for a stay over. read more

Yes, a bit dated, as some have said.but clean and roomy, and these two almost drowned and drenched bikers found refuge.you won't find more helpful and cheerful owners. I highly recommend this inn! read more

The cleanest motel ever! Everything was perfect and even eggs for breakfast. Reasonable rates and family business

A lovely diamond in the rough, off the Western or main Gunnison area, but still close to everything. Clean, comfortable, and quiet. The owners/staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. We will definitely stay at this welcoming and delightful place on our next visit to Gunnison. read more

Clean. Good location. Friendly staff. A great motel just off the road, and a continental breakfast.

Owner was awesome, accommodating, and professional. Rooms were super clean. For a "budget" hotel, we were truly, pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend. read more

This motel is small and older but decent and clean. What makes it is the pleasant hospitality of the family that runs it. They accommodated us easily when we needed to change our reservation on Westerns homecoming weekend. read more

A family owned business that goes the extra mile for their customers. The place is safe and clean with a very "homey" feel ... not to mention the rates are extremely competitive. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants the best bang for their buck as well as management who care about the clients needs and well being. read more

Positives: breakfast is ok in a small room. They try. Eggs. Waffle. Sausage. Fridge. Maybe new carpet. Negatives: Sheet are stained and yellow. I think washed. Linen had holes in it. Pillows really gross. Stained bedding. Smells funny. Hot water comes and goes. Furniture really dirty. Walls dirty. Got stuck there more than one day. Won't be back. I would avoid. Price is good for area but not worth it. Shower curtain clings to you and it is not washed after each guest. read more

Owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. He made sure we were comfortable. Made a great recommendation for a hike in the Black Canyon. Went over and beyond. Thank you!!! read more

I'm used to staying at name brand hotels so I was super skeptical when my hubs booked this roadside motel. BUT I was pleasantly surprised how clean the room was (I could even smell the cleaners of the sheets when we went to bed!), the shower was great, the Customer service was outstanding and free breakfast on top of it. Would definitely recommend this place to all travelers. read more

I'm not picky, but I notice things. Everything here was just what I want. Simple, clean, well cared for, and modern. Staff were happy, helpful and friendly, even the maids! I hope to be back someday. read more

Rodeway Inn is a delight. Owned and run by a family, you are welcome from the moment you arrive. Rooms are clean, comfortable with air conditioning, TV, new bathrooms and super comfy linens and pillows. The family dogs were a hit! I stayed a few days and will definitely be returning again! Highly recommend Rodeway Inn on Blue Mesa side of Town of Gunnison. Keep up the great motel experience!! read more

We got caught in a white out west of Gunnison and made this reservation while waiting for cars to be pulled out of snowbanks. The owner was great and the room was comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend staying at this motel if you're in the area. read more

We spent a few nights here with our daughter on a college visit to WSCU. Margaret (co-owner with her husband) was extremely helpful. Anything we needed or wanted, she'd provide. If we wanted an early breakfast; no problem. If we wanted extra pillows; no problem. Hotel is constructed probably 50 years ago - yet rooms are clean; beds are solid; linens/towels great quality (surprising for a Rodeway). Rooms are big. Can't walk to town - yet we took a good walk along the river from the motel - and it is a very easy drive to Hartman Rocks. For the price, you can't go wrong. And... as it is owned by great people - they will help you with ANYTHING. read more

The rooms were quiet and clean. Lots of hot water. The bed was king sized. It was not too soft or too hard. The management was very accommodating. We had an early morning schedule. They encouraged us to return for breakfast and cooked up sausage and egg patties for us. The breakfast buffet had a good selection of cereals, baked goods and beverages. The price was reasonable. read more

Mildly creepy. Not totally creepy. Just mildly. The exterior is pretty sparse and in below average condition...not falling apart but not fantastic. Potentially gross. Totally borderline. Seriously, right on the line. The fiance and I ended up staying here after our plans changed. We were in Colorado for a wedding and due to a last minute event popping up, we ended up in western Colorado earlier than expected and in need of accomodations. It was the only place we could find with vacant rooms on a about 26 hours notice. In terms of cleanliness, this place is right on that threshold for what is acceptable in a budget motel. Most people who are willing to stay in budget motels when traveling, are pretty tolerant people. They will put up with things that many, many others will not (I once had a roommate who wouldn't stay at ANY thing less than Four Seasons! I've definitely never been afforded this luxury, so I learn to tolerate less than perfect conditions.) Anyways, yeah, place coulda been cleaner...I spotted a couple teeny, tiny insects near the bathroom sink (which was in the room more or less...only the toilet/shower were separated from the rest of the room). That was definitely my indicator to put my damn flip flops back on! And to not let any of my belongings (that intend to touch my skin) hit the floor. I also decided to keep my suitcase closed just in case when not in use. It's not the worst I have been in. We once stayed in a place where we decided it best to sleep in our full-on daytime clothes in our sleeping bags for fear of touching anything. And to not use the bathroom expect to go pee and wash hands. This was not that bad. The room also had a weird old person/medicine smell. I could not determine if the smell was 1.) permanent 2.) due to the previous guest or 3.) due to possible old people in the room next door (the manager's apartment??). Not sure what was going on but it was weird. Decor is standard budget motel stuff. Pros: HBO, "fitness center" aka a room w/treadmill, bike & TV (good enough when travelling), breakfast not terrible, some of the staff were friendly (eastern European woman) and well-intentioned, close proximity to edible restaurant, easy to spot on the highway, low price, free wi-fi. Cons: Insects, there cars parking like literally a foot from the room windows, there were a lot of motorcyclists there (I'm not anti Harley, its just that those bikes are kinda loud, especially collectively. I don't know that I'd stay here again if passing through. Definitely not my 1st choice but if nothing else is available, you won't die due to ax murderers, ghosts, germs or cockroaches. read more

Stayed one night on our anniversary weekend trip in room 115 and we were happy with our stay. Check in was smooth with polite and professional staff. The grounds and room were clean. Beds are Simmons beautyrest, but are very soft- my preference is for firm, just an FYI. The restroom was fresh and clean although the fixtures are quite old. Carpet appears to be recently replaced. Standard hotel AC unit in room worked fine. The heating is central radiant in floor system, so no thermostat in the room, but we were happy with the temperature. The outside door had some gaps and could use some weather sealing or adjustment. Breakfast was standard for major chains with some good hot options including scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, sausage links, waffle machine, some pastries, bread, juice, and apples/bananas. Pricing is a good value for the area- everything is expensive. There is a vacant restaurant on the grounds that can be a little confusing when you drive in at night, but not a big issue. read more

Wellll - we made reservations at another privately owned motel in Gunnison BUT upon arrival the room had literally (the couple were actually checking in) just been given out Disappointed yes but the manager took full responsibility gave us $10 to help offset higher prices. Here we are at The Rodeway Inn - don't be led astray it's a roadway in name only. TWENTY star extremely professional owner accommodating w/a high- standard of service. The eclectic room is exceptionally clean also includes breakfast & a new hot tub ~ oh the grounds are well maintained / we are 20*'s HAPPY Oh btw, I'm one picky person After a very quiet comfy sleep we continue to be VERY happy we chose Rodeway Inn - and they don't use the cheapest tp that many higher end hotel/motels use read more

Great hotel! It was extremely clean and the service was impeccable. The hotel is run by a family and they were all so very nice. The owner helped us with multiple problems including a ride into the city and getting a food delivery that was running extremely late. I would recommend it to anyone traveling through the area. read more

This was easily the nicest place we stayed at on our Colorado road trip. The room was impeccably clean, and the beds very comfy. Gunnison's a cute town to stay in and the owner's gave us some great recommendations. What really made this place special though were the owners - they were incredibly friendly and caring and made my friend and I feel right at home! I'm excited to come back! read more

This was a great place to stay during a long ski weekend at Crested Butte. Easy commute to the mountain, with the benefit of the college town in Gunnison. Staff/Family at Rodeway is awesome, super nice, and accommodating! Rooms were really nice and affordable, with comfy mattresses and DirecTV access as well! Would highly recommend staying there! read more

Typically I've had bad to fair experiences at discount Motels as I have traveled. However, this location was a happy surprise. The rooms and laundry facility were cleaned and maintained. I would stay here again. read more

Made a last minute hotel switch while snowboarding and couldn't be happier. Staff was super friendly and gave a welcome home vibe while checking in. The beds were amazing and definitely needed after first day snowboarding. Plan to go back many time throughout this winter. read more

I paid $200 for a room and there was absolutely no hot water. I went to the front office to inquire and the employee told me that he was sorry and there was nothing he could do about it. I started asking questions and the story kept changing. He finally told me that a filter broke and they couldn't get the part, so there was no hot water in our building. We checked in at 5 pm on Saturday and by 8 pm the filter broke and they already knew they couldn't get the part? Not likey! More like they kept checking in people in knowing that there was not hot water. Staff was rude. The rooms haven't been updated since the 80's, including the carpet, which is probably the reason for the odor in the room. The beds were uncomfortable and the pillows were nasty (thank goodness we brought our own). I had expected more after reading the reviews, and wish I would have spent the extra $ to stay at a different hotel! This place a is a dump. read more

The new owners are amazing! They will make you feel like family - very hospitable and accommodating. The rooms are clean & quiet, the breakfast is awesome, and the hot tub is wonderful! read more

Excellent customer service! The guy who runs this place is on top of everything and accommodates his guest as if it were a five-star hotel. Also, has that authentic homey Colorado touch. read more

4 stars is pretty darn good for a roadside motel. Staff was super friendly...they allow pets. Rooms were clean and cheap. It ain't the Ritz. You get safe place to rest your head while you're on your way through the area. Not the kind of place you'll hang out, but if it's just a place to rest...you're good to go. And breakfast was pretty darn good for a little inn. Good selection of stuff...waffles, eggs, sausage, yogurt, fruit, OJ, Coffee, Bagels, Pastries. They offered us some to go as we checked out. Nice owners! read more

Clean room and friendly service. Great low rate. Typical hotel free hot breakfast. Basic and sufficient. It's not gourmet, so take it or leave it. Bring your own toiletries; the ones provided are skimpy and cheap, but it's a family owned establishment so you can't blame them for trying to save some pennies. I'll be back. read more

Room isn't too bad so far. TV kind of sucks. Old school. Heard breakfast was good. Will keep updated

I stayed here while visiting a friend in Gunnison. The guy at the front desk was super helpful and pleasant. The room was cheap, clean, and larger than expected. Water pressure in the showers was good and even the coffee was tasty! The maid came through and did an excellent job cleaning everything up while we were away. I will definitely stay here again! read more

I am traveling from the east coast to the west coast. Today marks day 5 and last night we stayed at this Inn. The room is a beautiful clean, small town home style. Which coming from a small town makes you feel at home. The lay out is spacious and they have everything you could need. The beds are comfortable, clean and the sheets are soft. Breakfast was delicious, the hot tub clean and relaxing. THE OWNERS are wonderful! Kind, helpful.. honestly couldn't have asked for a better room. I wish I had more time to stay here and enjoy the mountains. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ROOM FOR YOUR STAY! read more

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend. Room was clean, bed was comfy, and loved having the chairs outside the room. I would stay here again.

We were passing through Gunnison,CO and stayed at this hotel. The staff are so friendly and understanding. They didn't have our room ready because we arrived very early that morning. They offered us breakfast and gave us a clean room after their very busy sold out weekend. We appreciate their act of kindness and compassion. Great room with very comfy bed and really nice clean sheets! read more

We stopped at the Rodeway Inn in Gunnison on Friday, August 29th. It was hard to find. They have a smallish sign and we drove right past it heading east, all the way to the east end of town before starting back through, stopping at the visitor's center and asking directions. It ended up being quite a ways from the heart of Gunnison. The room was very clean, but the supplies were limited. We had the handicap room and I felt like there should've been more accoutrements, perhaps more furniture conducive to those with physical challenges. Perhaps more towels. The free breakfast was okay, but limited--the only fruits were some bananas that were still a bit green. More on the plus side, the manager was very nice and the grounds were well-kept. So, not spectacular, but good for the price. read more

The room was clean and fairly updated and service was good. It's a one-level motel from 1950's or so by the looks. The exterior was updated. Breakfast was standard fair. We just felt like the price at $150/night was double what it should have been. We guessed that it was strictly a matter of supply and demand since all the other hotels in Gunnison were booked. read more

This is my second time at the Rodeway, it is a nice, clean, reasonably priced motel at the far end of Gunnison. The beds, and bathroom, floors, everything was very clean, and though it is not the most luxurious or modern place, it is very adequate, and I felt secure staying here. The staff was helpful and friendly, everything worked fine, no complaints. Did not try the breakfast, so have no idea about that. It is in a nice peaceful setting, close to a stream. I have even seen deer here before. I would not hesitate to stay here the next time that I'm in Gunnison read more

Owner is great. And for the price so is the motel. Clean rooms. Convenient location near the airport and the Gunnison River.

If we are ever in Gunnison again, we will definitely stay here. Clean, quiet, enclosed hot tub, in room refrigerator and microwave, great owner, comfortable bed, reasonably priced. read more
