Pretty sure this place is closed. What appeared to be the office was completely gutted. Was going…read moreto see if they had a room so I could explore the Monument in the morning. But ended up having to drive an hour East.

NO PETS ALLOWED: The owner of this establishment is a kind and fair business woman who takes care…read moreof her employees needs, and is kind and fair to people. I booked a week stay here. I had seen the Terrace Motel in passing as I am a season pass holder at Dinosaur National Monument. It has always lead me to lose myself in my imagination to imagine it lit up on a sunset night in the 1950's! And even today it always appears iconic and steadfast in this stark environment. I was so excited about my trip and nerding out for an entire week with paleontology. Today my booking was canceled. When I made my arrangements I failed to mention I travel with my two small dogs. And some establishments don't accept pets. They have their rights to their policy and a good customer would accept and respect the rules of the establishment. It would be unfair to make an exception to my fellow customers and being dishonest and trying to hide my fur babies is just NOT my style. The owner is such an endearing woman. She has a kind demeanor and is an inspiration to me because she is a female owner! The grace with which she handles potentially uncomfortable situations is so smooth. In the end she gave me a full refund (even though I was culpable) and welcomed me back again when I come to Dinosaur minus the fur babies. I plan on returning because of the amazing impression I had with the way they handle undesirable situations. It must be glorious when all is well. Also the standard of cleanliness is principally important to these people. And they really care about the health and well-being of ALL. Thank you kindly.
