All in all, a very wonderful stay at this hotel. We came in for 5 nights during Thanksgiving and…read morethis was the only hotel in town with a working indoor pool, hot breakfast and good reviews. The desk clerks were extremely friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was consistently good and had tasty options. There was not a great selection of fruit, only oranges and red apples, but there were rotating hot options including: egg & cheese foldover 'omelettes' sausage patties, german style breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, ham and mini bagels with egg, cheese and ham.

I had a decent experience with the staff (mostly friendly) and shared space cleanliness here. The…read morebreakfast staff was awesome, friendly and even made a vegetarian request for me. However, after staying in Room 222 for three nights, September 9-11, 2019, I woke up with numerous bites all over my body. I checked the mattresses and saw nothing to the naked eye, but still got bit. I made the manager aware on the morning of the 12th at my check out around 6:30am, and he said he would investigate. As the hotel was booked by my partner, she contacted them and let them know about it in their "survey". It has been two weeks and they have not gotten back to us. Here are the pictures we offered the hotel staff and some as of late as the bites are still healing. I am still awake most nights itching and putting medicine on my skin. DO NOT STAY HERE.

I guess I'm baffled why you're coming to La Junta, there hasn't been a UFO sighting here in years…read more If you're going to hunt aliens, though, the Holiday Inn Express here is a decent spot to stay. You'll want to be fresh and ready because the aliens are quick. Or at least they were. Like I said, we haven't spotted one in years. The place was clean, the bathroom showers are nice and hot, and the morning breakfast is adequate. There's a good chance you'll hear a rumbling in your sleep. That's not the aliens, unfortunately, that's just the train going by. La Junta is a train town. I saw some other folks complaining about the train. It's like y'all have never been in a train town before. You can hear a train from miles away. Trains are loud creatures, unlike those aliens that are ever so sneaky. So if you come to La Junta, and I can't think of a reason why you would, give the old Holiday Inn Express a try. You'll be nice and refreshed to confirm that there are no aliens in La Junta.

We had to stop somewhere quick. Not bad, it's an older motel. Appears clean, the shower is great and the front desk lady is nice, offering recommendations for food and few events happening in this town of 7,230 (based on 2023 census). I haven't seen but 2 people so far! Around here you can pay close to $200 ($12.50 per hour) for a room at the Hampton Inn or under $100 ($4.75 per hour) for a decent night's sleep here. I'm happy with my choice.

However there is a really nice locomotive on display that makes a really cool picture. Other than that not much to see. NOTE: this hotel is not the "RED LION" any longer it is currently named the "THE LA JUNTA INN" and the restaurant is no longer "DICKIES BBQ" its now the "YACK & THE YETI" ( Indian, Nepal and Tibetan food) This INN is currently (9/30/22) Under construction and is about 85% complete accordin the work crews. The rooms have been completely renovated and maybe one of the most comfortable beds I have ever laid my bones into. Obviously the rooms were very clean. The restaurant was clean and the staff was polite and efficient. Our waitress was from 15 minutes of our hometown in NC so that was cool. The meals were properly prepared and were very tasty, the breads, or "naan" as it is called, was also very tasty. After a week of elk hunting and being very very tired the good night's sleep was a dream come true for sure. All I could think about after that wonderful night's sleep was getting a fresh cup of coffee. My wife and I got dressed and headed down to the lobby for a muffin and some coffee, oh my, I was needing a large cup of coffee so bad. I grabbed the largest cup I could find and stuck it under the coffee pot and wallah nothing came out. Seeing this my wife went over to inform the attendant that she was out of coffee, the attendant cocked her head to the side and looked at her and said yes I see, I need to put another pot on. I went outside to wait on her to fix another pot and my wife stayed inside. The attendant NEVER made any attempt to start a new pot of coffee, instead just fiddled around her counter. While writing this review I thought about the owner from Denver who was investing tons of money trying to attract new guest. If he only knew how his employee was acting why he was not there. Maybe she is his daughter, that would be the only way I would ever allow her to stay there and work. Overall a nice clean hotel to spend 1 night in and decent restaurant to get a plate of food it's me. Just don't expect much from the attended at the morning breakfast.

We would definitely stay here again.

We are writing to express our extreme disappointment with our stay at your hotel on June 10, 2026…read more Overall, our room was in poor condition and was not clean. More importantly, we discovered two serious life-safety issues that should never be overlooked: There was no smoke alarm installed in the room (see attached photo). The secondary security lock on the door was broken (see attached photo). These issues raise serious concerns about the safety of your guests. At a minimum, rooms should be routinely inspected to ensure they are clean, properly maintained, and that all safety equipment and security features are in working order before guests check in. We strongly encourage property management to implement regular room inspections, if not daily, to verify that rooms meet basic cleanliness, maintenance, and safety standards. Guests should be able to expect a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. Based on our experience at this Econo Lodge, we are left with very little confidence in your brand and may never choose to stay at another Econo Lodge property. We hope you will take these concerns seriously and address them promptly to prevent other guests from having a similar experience.

The pool was not enticing me to get in the water and that common area definitely needs work. Was in town for a client meeting for work, and apparently everyone was in this little town of La Junta the same day I was. Couldn't get in with Holiday Inn Express, nor Hampden Inn... both of their front desk had recommended this place as a last resort as they have walked through the new updates. I love that there are Keurigs in the rooms with K-cups ready for you to use for a morning brew, with a selection of regular coffee, decaf coffee, hot chocolate, and earl gray tea. The service at the front desk was amazing as well. Met another 'Local Girl' from Hawaii working the front desk and she was sweet and nice. She had a little trouble with the reservation as they are transitioning over from TL to RLH, and the reservation wasn't sent over properly. But she made it happen for me and she took care of me. Thanks girl! The only thing was that I found hairs on the pillows and the pillows smelled a little bit like greasy old man.... I'm assuming that either the pillow was forgotten to be refreshed, or that it was refreshed and still smelled bad... *shrugs* Good thing the towels were fresh and I just used that around the pillows as I was only staying one night. Definitely look forward to the updates they are doing to the hotel and had overall a good, quiet stay. Beggars can't be choosers. :)

No problem, but when we get our keys, we don't get a nice holder - no, the manager years up pieces of paper and puts them in a plastic holder. We get to our rooms - no shower curtains, and our requests for towels went ignored all weekend. The shower curtains were added the next day when we requested them. Finally, all weekend, the outside trash can was filled with pizza boxes, and the fire extinguisher box next to our room was empty. The lobby coffee machine was old and dirty, so we never got any coffee. Now the rooms were decent, the are remodeled nicely. But management needs to improve here. No housekeeping crew came in and cleaned our room or refreshed linens. We recommend only stay here if the other hotels on the west side of town are booked. We typically stay at the Holiday Inn Express, but since they were booked solid, we ended up here.
