First Impressions (and the Struggle is Real)
Finding the damn place was the first challenge. GPS, bless its little electronic heart, led me on a winding, vaguely confusing tour of the surrounding area. But finally, there it was. The exterior? Okay, not winning any architectural awards, but hey, it wasn’t falling apart, which is a win in my book. And parking? Free! (Car park [free of charge] - score!) Though, trying to navigate it in my minivan felt like a Tetris game gone wrong.
Accessibility - The Good, The Slightly Baffling, And The “Huh?”
Okay, let's be real, I am lucky enough to be walking and talking, so some features were lost on me, but I did try to pay attention.
- Wheelchair Accessible: The entry was, praise be, wide and ramped. The elevator worked (Elevator - Thank goodness!), which is a HUGE plus.
- Facilities for disabled guests: Appears decent, but for specific needs, definitely call ahead to confirm.
- Accessibility: There were definite attempts, and that's appreciated, but I'd still recommend calling ahead to double-check if you have specific needs.
The Room: My Temporary Fortress (and Its Quirks)
Now, the room. This is where things get truly interesting.
- Air conditioning: Yay! Necessary for a place like this. Praise the ceiling fans in public areas.
- Cleanliness: It was generally quite clean. (Cleanliness and safety) Especially considering the price point. I saw the Room sanitization between stays.
- Free Wi-Fi: (Wi-Fi [free], Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!) Worked like a charm, unlike some places I've stayed.
- Mini Bar: Was empty. (Mini bar). No mini bar, no problem. More room for me.
- The Bed: Okay, my back is not great but did the job! (Extra long bed).
- Bathroom: The shower pressure was…enthusiastic. (Shower), and not in a good way, but the water was hot! (Hot water). Always a win!
- Soundproofing: (Soundproofing, Non-smoking rooms) Seems to be a thing. But the building had some noises to go around.
The Amenities: A Mixed Bag, Honestly
- Swimming Pool [Outdoor]: Yes, and looked inviting. (Swimming pool).
- Fitness center: (Fitness center, Gym/fitness) Looked like it had the bare essentials, but I didn't make any real use of it. I’m on vacation, dang it!
- The Spa/Sauna: (Spa/Sauna, Sauna, Spa) Didn't try them.
- The "Things to do"/Ways to relax: Let's be honest, this is not the kind of place you go for a luxurious spa day.
Grub Time: Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (and My Attempts at Grace)
- Breakfast: (Breakfast in room – maybe I will) Breakfast was included, and was a decent buffet. Think standard continental fare. (Breakfast [buffet], Coffee/tea in restaurant, Western breakfast, Breakfast service). The coffee? Okay, it served its purpose.
- Restaurants (Restaurants): There was a restaurant, offering a la carte, Asian Cuisine, Dessert and salad.
- Poolside bar: None as far as I saw, but as I was not there at the time.
Services and Conveniences: The Everyday Essentials
- Front desk [24-hour]: Yep, helpful and friendly staff.
- Daily housekeeping: They earned their money. (Daily housekeeping).
- Concierge: Not really the concierge-level of service, but the front desk was always helpful and tried to go above and beyond to point you in the right direction.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Big Question Mark (But Mostly Good News!)
Alright, the pandemic has changed everything. How does Montrose Getaway handle it?
- Hand sanitizer: Was readily available (Hand sanitizer).
- Staff trained in safety protocol, Individually-wrapped food options: It seemed they knew what they were doing.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: I observed it.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: I think.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly? (Sort Of)
- Family/child friendly: I saw a few families, so yes, it is.
- Babysitting service: I did not get to see them.
The Downsides (Because We're Being Honest Here)
- The Noise: While the rooms themselves are soundproofed, the hallway and outside noises are a bit of a nuisance.
- The “Meh” Factor: This isn't a luxury experience. It's functional, affordable, and does the job. Don’t expect chandeliers and butler service.
- The Quirks: The decor is dated.
- The Little Things: Some small things like the complimentary toiletries.
The Verdict: Would I Stay Again?
Absolutely. For the price, Montrose Getaway offers a solid value. It's clean, the staff is friendly, and it covers the basics. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option with decent amenities and a convenient location, this is a perfectly acceptable choice. Just manage your expectations, pack your own snacks, and bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed.
Plus, hey, at least they're trying. And that’s more than you can say for some places.
Maui Magic: Uncover Paradise at Eldorado Kaanapali
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. This is my attempt to wrangle a few days in Montrose, Colorado, and make it sound… well, sane-ish. And by "sane-ish," I mean: I'm going to try and be honest. Expect detours into my brain and the occasional (inevitable) existential crisis. We're staying at the SureStay Plus by Best Western Montrose, which, fingers crossed, will be more "plus" than "meh."
Day 1: Arrival, Adjustments, and the Agonizing Search for the "Good" Coffee
Morning (Around 10:00 AM - Actually more like 10:45 AM. I have a terrible sense of time, especially after a long drive. Maybe I’m being dramatic but I think the drive was a sign from above. The universe probably just wanted me to stop driving so much, but then again, I don’t really believe in the universe. Maybe it was God or something.): Arrived in Montrose. Finally. After a road trip that felt like it was sponsored by Red Bull and the urge to stop at every single roadside oddity. Checked into the SureStay. The lobby smelled vaguely of chlorine and cleaning chemicals, but hey, at least it smelled clean. The woman at the front desk had a smile that seemed to be both genuine and slightly weary - a kindred spirit, perhaps?
Mid-Morning (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The first order of business: find coffee. Good coffee. My life literally depends on it. Wandered around, and I won't lie, I was scared. Everything seemed closed or just… unremarkable. Wound up at a place called “Montrose Coffee Co” or something. The coffee was… acceptable. Not life-altering. In fact, I think the styrofoam cup was the highlight. I’m already judging the coffee scene, and I haven't even had lunch yet.
Afternoon (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Lunch. I'm an easy person to please when it comes to food. I really was just looking for something decent, but, I hate to admit, I just went to McDonald's. I know, I know, I am disappointed in myself.
Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Settled in the hotel room. Ah, the sweet relief of air conditioning. Opened the window. Smelled the fresh air. Took a nap. Woke up. Felt a vague sense of guilt about napping. Wasted time on my phone. I just needed to recharge after the long trip. Decided to be "productive" and browse some local tourist brochures. Found nothing.
Evening (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM): Dinner. I'm going to be honest, dining here wasn't the most amazing experience, but at least I had food. The best thing about it, sadly, was the ice chips, which probably says a lot. Did some mindless channel surfing.
Evening (8:00 PM - ?): Bed. Because, let's face it, I'm old. I'm pretty sure it's a law of physics that the older you get, the earlier you need to go to bed after the drive.
Day 2: The Black Canyon's Beckoning and My Ongoing Existential Dread
Morning (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM): Back to the coffee hunt. Today, I ventured a bit further afield. Tried The Stone House. The coffee was better. Still not… fireworks, you know? Like, the best coffee I've ever had in my life. But at least I didn't feel like I was drinking dishwater. It’s an improvement.
Morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Holy. Moly. Words cannot describe the sheer depth of this canyon. It was like the Earth decided to yawn and then swallow you whole. I was momentarily humbled. I hiked a little, felt a bit breathless, and was immediately reminded of my utter inability to get into proper shape.
- An Observation That Will Probably Bore You: The sheer contrast of colors! The grey of the rock, the green of the trees, the electric blue of the sky… It's the kind of landscape that you can stare at for hours and feel absolutely nothing, or feel everything. Today, I was somewhere in between. (Mostly bored, but that's okay.)
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 3:00 PM): Lunch at the park. Brought a sandwich I slapped together in a moment of alleged proactivity. It was soggy. Ants. More existential dread. Wondered about the meaning of life. Ate my soggy sandwich anyway. The canyon still impressive though.
Afternoon (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM): More canyon gazing. Drove to a different overlook. Tried to take artsy photos. Failed miserably. Decided photography is a skill I will never master. Maybe I should just give up.
Evening (6:00 PM - 7:30 PM): Dinner somewhere. I was going to try a new restaurant, but I changed my mind. Went back to the original restaurant. Okay, the food was still not great, but the waitress was nice. She seemed genuinely concerned about my welfare.
Evening (8:00 PM - Bedtime): Back at the SureStay. Started reading a book. Got distracted. Eventually, succumbed to the sweet, sweet embrace of sleep.
Day 3: A Possible Breakthrough, the Montrose Museum, and the Longing for Home (and, You Know, Better Coffee)
Morning (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM): Last coffee quest. Damn it. Decided to give Montrose Coffee Co. another try. The coffee was shockingly… better. Maybe they had a new barista? Or maybe I was just desperate enough. Either way, a small victory.
Morning/Afternoon (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Montrose County Historical Museum. Okay, this was actually pretty cool. Learned some things. Tried to look cultured. Failed. But hey, history’s important, right? It reminded me that our lives are short and we are all going to die.
Afternoon (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM): Lunch. It was just another burger. I'm starting to see a pattern.
Afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM): Checked out of the SureStay. Gave the front desk woman a weary smile, and she gave me one back. We had a moment. Packed the car. Felt a pang of sadness. Okay, maybe not sadness, but a definite… acknowledgment that my adventure was ending.
Afternoon (4:00 PM - Departure): Started the drive home! Said goodbye to Montrose. Said goodbye to myself. (Just kidding! …Mostly.)
Late Evening (Whenever I Crash): Home. Unpacked. Exhausted. But, you know what? It was okay. SureStay was… fine. Montrose had its moments. And the coffee… well, let's just say the search continues.
Okay, so... Montrose Getaway. What *is* it exactly? Don't give me marketing fluff!
Alright, fine! No fluff! Montrose Getaway is basically your ticket (or, more accurately, your *search engine*) to finding sweet deals on hotels in Montrose, Colorado. Specifically, they seem to be pushing SureStay Plus hotels pretty hard. Think of it as...Hotel Tinder, but instead of awkward dates, you get possibly slightly-less-awkward hotel stays. I mean, I’ve seen some of those SureStay things… they’re usually okay. Sometimes. Look, finding a decent hotel is HARD. I'm a professional overthinker, so I REALLY, REALLY want to know I'm not being scammed. So Montrose Getaway, they’re *trying* to make it easier.
My first impression? It's simple, maybe a bit *too* simple at times. I'm used to flashing lights and pop-ups begging me to book. This is…clean. Almost suspiciously clean. But hey, less clutter is always a plus, right? Right?
"Unbeatable Deals"? Seriously? Are we talking "robbing the bank" deals? Or just… slightly less expensive than the usual rip-off?
Here's the thing – I’m skeptical by nature. Like, *seriously* skeptical. When I see "unbeatable" I expect unicorns and free massages. The reality? It's not quite unicorn territory. More like a particularly charming, slightly dusty pony. You know, still pleasant, but needs a good brush.
I poked around (because I'm dedicated, people! Mostly because I procrastinate everything else), and the prices *do* seem pretty competitive. I saw a SureStay Plus in Montrose (the one with the weirdly friendly lobby picture) going for…well, less than what I’ve sometimes paid for a hotel room that smelled faintly of wet dog. Let's just say it's a solid "good deal". *Unbeatable*? Depends on your definition. If you're comparing it to sleeping in your car (been there, done that, don't recommend), then yeah, it's unbeatable! If you’re hoping for a free private jet, probably not.
**Anecdote time!** I once booked a "bargain" hotel in Vegas. The picture? Gorgeous. The reality? The showerhead was a dribbling, sad little thing that looked like it was desperately clinging to life, and the "city view" was mostly the dumpster behind the casino. Moral of the story: read reviews! Montrose Getaway... I'd still do your homework. Then again... Vegas. Whew.
So, SureStay Plus. Are they… actually *plus*? Or are they just... *more*?
Okay, let’s be real. The "Plus" in SureStay Plus doesn’t automatically guarantee five-star luxury. It’s more like a solid, reliable… perhaps a tad boring, but still decent. Think of it as the reliable friend who always shows up on time and never has a drama. That’s usually a GOOD thing! (Looking at you, unreliable friends.)
I've stayed in a few SureStay Plus hotels over the years. The quality varies, obviously. But generally, you get what you expect: clean rooms, a decent breakfast (hopefully with waffles), and hopefully, a working TV with enough channels to quiet the inner demons. But seriously, I LOVE a waffle. Okay, I need to calm down and get back to the review…
Also, another thing: they’re *consistent*. You’re less likely to get a truly *awful* stay at a SureStay Plus versus some random, dodgy motel. I’d call that a win. Especially if your main goal is a good night’s sleep and not, you know, being the subject of a true-crime podcast.
What about Cancellation Policies? Because life happens. And sometimes, I REALLY, REALLY need to bail on a hotel.
This is IMPORTANT. Always, and I mean *always*, read the fine print on cancellation policies. Seriously, it’s a life skill. I’ve learned this the hard way. Picture this: I booked a super-cheap hotel in… *insert far-flung, exotic location here*. Then, *bam!* Life. Happened. I was basically screwed. Lost all my money. Lesson learned: always check the cancellation policy!
Montrose Getaway… well, I'd assume it depends on the specific hotel's policy. Make sure to *carefully* review the rules *before* you click "book". Look for free cancellation options, especially if you’re prone to… spontaneous life changes. Don’t assume ANYTHING! If you're anything like me, a good cancellation policy can save you some SERIOUS money. And possible a lot of stress, too. Seriously, check the rules. Please.
Okay, I’m sold… maybe. Any advice? Like, things to actually *do* when I get to Montrose?
Alright, adventurer! You're heading to Montrose! (Assuming you actually *book* a hotel, which, remember those cancellation policies!) Okay, here's the deal. I’m a city slicker so I don’t know a ton about Montrose, but after a quick Google search, here’s what I discovered!
First, *check* what Montrose actually has to offer. If you're into outdoor stuff, like hiking and all that fresh-air nonsense, you're probably in the right place. Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is nearby, apparently. (It looks… spectacular. Okay, maybe *that* is attractive. Nature is neat.) There’s also... fishing! (Not my thing, but I’m told people are passionate about it.)
Secondly, figure out what kind of *vibe* you’re going for. Is it a relaxing escape? A high-energy adventure? This will help you choose the right hotel, and the right activities. Basically, *plan ahead*. I know, planning isn't always super fun, but trust me, you'll thank yourself later when you're not wandering around aimlessly, bored, and hangry.
Finally, just... *relax*. You’re on vacation (or at least, you will be)!. Have fun. And maybe, just maybe, try the local coffee. Maybe. (I still prefer my coffee.)
Any downsides? Anything I didn't like?
Okay, here's where I get slightly… less enthusiastic. Montrose Getaway seems *hyperfocused* on SureStay Plus hotels. That's fine if you *want* a SureStay Plus, but what if you want something different? A quirky boutique hotel? A charming B&B? Options might be limited. I also wish, at a glance, it offered a wider price range. But I didn't spend all day poking around.
It lacked the bells and whistles of some other, more *aggressively* marketed sites. I'm talkingYour Stay Hub
