I was stuck in Montrose for the night because of United Airlines. The airport was completely closed by 230pm. So i was not having a good day. I was greeted by Clinton and Monty (adorable Yorkie) at the front desk. Clinton was very nice and helpful. Checked the room to make sure it was cleaned. The rooms are nice! Looks like they have been updated with tile floors, paint and some of the furniture. The bathroom looked updated. Even tho it is on the street they have a quaint outside fenced area with picnic table and fire pit.

We liked the new look and the upgrades. It is directly on highway 50 so it can be busy with traffic passing by. But that calms down at night. It's neat, clean, convenient and reasonable. We'll stay again for sure!

Loved the modern updates. The room was extremely clean. The bed was very very comfortable. We had a room right next to the road. It was a little loud with traffic (not that it could have been avoided) but by the time we went to sleep traffic died down and I didnt even notice. I really liked how affordable it was. So glad I gave this place a chance - will be staying here again. Only reccomedation I would give would be to have some fruit options for the grab and go breakfast

Minecar is a great place to stay. The property is clean and nicely renovated. We stayed in room 108. There was a noise outside our room the majority of the night. The next morning, we found an extension cord had been hitting the building. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Plusses: 1. Friendly, accommodating staff. 2. Well-maintained, clean room. 3. Good price. Minuses: 1. No independent heat for the bathroom. 2. "Breakfast" consists of a couple choices of granola bars and a couple choices of oatmeal cups. 3. The metal guard around the bottom of the bed sounds like an amplified drummer's cymbal any time anything touches it. 4. One must be very careful to be sure the door closes properly. Twice, the door blew open, once during the middle of the night and again in the morning, while I was away getting a real breakfast. Granted, the door is not broken, but I wouldn't have imagined needing to exert such force to close the door properly.

Roadside motel near downtown Montrose. Rooms were clean, but tiny (not even a chair in the room). No amenities. Remote check-in, with no one in office. Good choice if you are trying to save money, but you will not want to spend any time in the room.
