Oh-em-gee!! Talk about the most adorable place to stay!! Yes it's a motel which can be a scary thought since, well let's face it, not many motels are nice or have good reputations , but this one was beyond amazing!! Would I give it a sixth star?, probably not but only because I love hot tubs and pools but I know the space might not allow for such accommodations but other than that, we loved every bit about it. And here's why....
We are a couple in our mid 30s who love small towns and not over crowded places, we live almost two hours east of Palisade in a small town but not much to do unless you want to over spend money at a ski resort. Every time we have gone to Palisade we have stayed at a hotel or at an Airbnb. We don't always travel with our dogs because of the guilt of leaving them at the hotel (some places don't allow it also) or because of the cost to travel with two large dogs. But this time we had no choice as we were in the process of selling our home and there would open house all weekend at our home. So the pups got to enjoy a weekend away as well.
So we chose the smallest of the queen bed rooms, which it specifically says it's small a.f. but we didn't think how two grown adults and two large dogs would definitely feel tight in such room, haha but we made it work and have no complaints!!
The room is absolutely adorable, the outdoor lounging or hanging out area was perfect and their bar was perfect and small, their souvenirs are very cute, the decor, the location, everything!! The staff was friendly, not sure how many staff members they have but the two we spoke to all weekend were more than enough and super helpful!
Extremely dog friendly, they offer you dog beds and bowls, we brought our own because our dogs are special haha but everything fit perfectly in the room!
There is a large park a couple of blocks away where we would take our dogs to run and play in the mornings/afternoons, and winery's and restaurant very near by. I guess you could walk to most if you don't mind walking but they rent cruiser bikes on site and it was perfect, so we rented those and took a stroll through palisade with no issues.
Did I mention a perfect and light breakfast delivered to your room every morning?! Ugh!! Perfect!!
We went during off season so many places were closed but what was open, was perfect and not too many people. Even the motel was moderately busy, neighbors were great so no issues there. I would absolutely stay here again and would 100% recommend.
Here are some pics, enjoy!!
