I would definitely stay here again. This will be my go-to hotel for Cortez. The hotel was nice, location of shopping and restaurants was good. The beds were comfy and the breakfast was very good. The hotel was in good shape and had clean and nice decor. The pool and jacuzzi were functioning, I saw many happy people in there. The shower pressure and water temperature were phenomenal! I mean the kind of spray that makes you soo relaxed. This was my first stay at a Holiday Inn and they had DOVE products! I don't know if they all do but man those were NICE! Overall I really enjoyed the stay. The didn't likes were small, but I did include them for transparency. Front desk was friendly and fun.

The Holiday Inn Express Mesa Verde-Cortez creates a wonderful cozy and nostalgic atmosphere despite lacking some modern amenities and upgrades. My room had a balcony-style door with beautiful views of a birch tree and the mountains. The Southwestern decor and Atzek theme were so pleasant and inviting. I loved riding the glass elevator and taking in the mountain views. My room was meticulously clean without a speck of dust or dirt in sight. The bed was very comfortable for a good night's sleep. The location is extremely convenient with restaurants, fast food, auto services, and an urgent care all within walking distance. It's also a short drive to the incredible Mesa Verde National Park.

Proximity to restaurants, dispensaries, and outdoor activities is perfect! There is a Denny's right next door, a fantastic Mexican restaurant (Tequila's) about a 10 minute walk and the Hotel's own restaurant Destination Grill where you can get 10% off. Mesa Verde NP fee station is a 12 minute drive from the hotel and you could spend multiple days there, it's huge and holds so much history of the Ancestral Pueblo People. Dispensaries were important to us. Livwell and Durango Organics were our favorites and are only a 10 minute drive down main street. The bed was super comfy and the sheets were very clean.

My husband really enjoyed eating the biscuits and gravy! It is an occasional treat for him. I was very pleased to learn of all the Gluten Free/Dairy Free options for me. Although the GF/DF is not in the buffet room, all I had to do is ask the attendant and she took me to another room where I had plenty of safe food choices to eat. The room itself was very quiet and very comfortable. The check-in staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Absolutely the best place to stay!! Couldn’t believe the value you get here! Incredibly spacious suite with video games for the kids, comfy beds, blackout curtains, high quality toiletries, Keurig coffee, adequate breakfast, etc. Will definitely stay here again next time we’re out this way! Front desk staff is impressively helpful and accommodating. Loved the Native American jewelry for sale in the lobby. Nice touch!
