1st off Let me say this Inn Is a one night stop over over and. It is not a place you want to bring the family and grandma to spend the week. Things to do here are very very limited. 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. read more

RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!! This place is an absolute dive! We never saw housekeeping. They were blamed, however, for having "picked up" my iPad when I advised the night auditor that the iPad had been stolen from the room. As it turns out, the Night Auditor was the one that lifted the iPad and he had stowed the iPad under the front counter. Now let's talk about the room. Water out of the sink came out in a trickle-at best. Maintenance was never able to fix it, and it was not due to the water valves being turned down. The room at, one point, had been broken into as evidenced by the cracked door, and the damaged door jamb. The gap under the door was large enough for a mouse to crawl through. The pool was empty - hasn't been filled in almost 2 years. The only way to get ice is at the front desk, and they do not stock coffee for the coffee pot in the room. We made reservations on May 10th and provided our credit card to hold the room. Instead, they charged the account. We didn't have a choice of other hotels in town because they were all full for the Memorial Day weekend. When we arrived we explained the accounting error and that we told them that the card should not have been charged. We also advised them that the other two parties in our group would be paying for their own room. Today is May 28th, and we are still out over $500 for the 3 rooms because also collected for the other 2 rooms from the others in our party. This was our second, and LAST stay at this Roach Motel! UGGHHHHH! read more

This hotel has excellent customer service. First time staying in this part of Colorado and in La Junta. We had a small issue when we checked in but the front desk staff quickly accommodated our needs and switched our rooms. We could not be more pleased, this place has outstanding staff and management and also decent BBQ next door. AC is cold, sheets are clean and the bathrooms were sparkling. Best place in town. read more

We stayed here on Dec 30, on our way to Durango, Co. The negatives: the web advertises this place as a hotel and it is a motor inn. They advertise a complimentary hot breakfast, but the front desk clerk advised they do not have that service. The place was very clean and spacious. We had a king size bed and it was very comfortable. They had a very nice shower and complimentary coffee in the room. The cable was out, but not their fault. We had left the tv on and the cable came back on, loud and clear. Scared the heck out of us, momentarily. Pet friendly, only $15 additional for the baby. $83 inclusive of tax. Way less than the other hotels in La Junta. Dickey's BBQ was on site and it was yummy and a sizable portion for not a lot of money. My wife and I both had the pulled pork that came with two sides and soft serve ice cream. After a 13 hour drive it was nice to find this place and having the restaurant was a bonus. Will definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to family and friends who travel between Illinois and Colorado. read more

Pet friendly. Outside was a little questionable but room was actually really nice. Everything looked brand new and clean. Front desk staff was nice. Dickies BBQ is right there behind office.

We had a great stay here. If I had read reviews before I went I would've never gone. They recently did a change of management and they are doing a good job. I would definitely stay here again. read more

Newly renovated, very comfortable beds and nice decor...very nice hotel for the price. Cannot however give 5 stars for the following reasons: my husband was treated like a criminal when he had to go ask for ice since the ice machine was broken and there wasn't a plastic bag in the ice bucket; ice machine broken; Pop machine sold out; same person when we checked out was very rude and dismissive. read more

Hard to know where to begin. No room had been set aside for us when we arrived, despite the fact that we had guaranteed with a credit card days before arrival. The desk clerk spent 20 minutes running from room to room trying to find us a clean, unoccupied one. Room was full of mosquitoes - we managed to dispatch 12 of them in the first 20 minutes. The heater was non- functional and was jammed up against th bed such that it would have posed a fire hazard if it were. We could see four different internet networks, but the password we were given worked for none of them. Finally, there was NO hot water in the morning. One of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. read more
