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.

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.

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.

I said I would leave bad reviews. He refunded my money and treated to sue me if I left a bad review. I told him his room was filthy. As was his office with cats that smelled like a litter box. He said it's his office and I was the filthy one. WOW! Never called anybody any names but if it makes you feel better to lie about that then you go for it. I did say the room was filthy I wouldn't know about the sheets as I brought my own blanket and laid on top of my own blanket because I was not sure about the cleanliness. When you threaten to sue me because I'm going to leave a bad review?? As far as I know it's a free country and we are able to say what we think and the truth and if anybody were to walk into that office we would know exactly that it's nasty and stinky and smells like cats

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.

I've never jn my life had a deal clerk walk me to my room to show me which lights were safe to use and which were not. Also the clerk was kind enough to point out the water damage and black mold on the ceiling. Along with the scorch marks and carbon tracing from the electrical fire. I slept in the room until my throat and eyes burned and itched to badly from the mold then I gave up and left. If the us government kept pow's in this hotel we would face a war crime tribunal.
