Centrally Located Lodgings!

A quiet, comfortable, chic place to stay across from Monument Mountain.

10/10 Exceptional

Superb from check in to check out!

6/10 Good

Eh..it’s an overpriced motel

It’s a FINE motel but that is just what it is..a MOTEL. No coffeemaker or breakfast offered. For the amount of money we paid there should be some services available! Self check in and you can use the main hotel amenities that is located three miles down the road. It’s fine but it’s too hefty of a price tag for a motel.

10/10 Exceptional

Properly marketed and described. No particular amenities (aside from WiFi), but lots was apparently available at the mother ship, in town. But I wasn’t there for amenities, and I expect most guests weren’t. Clean room, easy parking, my dog was welcome. Busy road out front, but set back far night that I never heard any noise from there. Good place, would recommend

Travis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My stay here was very pleasant. Booking was a breeze and I did like the fact they were easy to communicate with and checking in was so easy. Love the simplicity. Whenever I have to travel back to that town I will surely stay here again. In fact I will be next week.

Q

This is a charming older motel that is quiet with spacious grounds. There was no check in- they just gave me my room number and my code. I personally loved that. It was during a terrible heat wave and the small AC window unit struggled to cool the room, but eventually did. There didn’t seem to be coffee anywhere on the grounds so I would have loved a coffeemaker in my room.

I miss the Briarcliff

The Little Lion used to be the Briarcliff Motel 2 years ago. We stayed there 2 years ago specifically because it was dog friendly and the price was affordable. The Red Lion has taken over the property in the past 2 years and the place has changed. It's still largely the same but instead of dog-friendly or dog-welcoming, it's more like "you can bring your dog", which is fine. The cool and funky breakfast and staff are gone, and instead, you can drive 3 miles to the Red Lion parent hotel and buy breakfast (a tasty one) there. There is no coffee in the rooms at the Little Lion, so we had to drive to the Red Lion to get some in the morning. Having in-room coffee would have been a low cost way of making our stay better. The Little Lion's prices have gone up -- which I understand is just the cost of doing business -- but the amenities are fewer. Our in-room microwave didn't work. I would probably go back again with our dog or even without our dog, but the great vibe it used to have (firepit for example) is no longer.

This is an old motor inn repurposed for the new era. Decor not great, smelled musty, shower head from 1994. No staff on site.

Everything about this lodging was nice; the easy access getting in, the large bed and thoughtful decor.

Easy check in. No disturbances. Cute rooms. Disappointed there was no availability for my last trip to GB because I would have loved to stay here one last time.

No frills clean and cute spot

I was staying overnight in the area, decided to check out this sale. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't usually like motel style places, but it was a very clean, cute location. Definitely will consider again.
