Guest Reviews
- U2310EJtonip (10/5): Nice stay at Motel Soco - We were traveling cross country and decided it was time to stop for the night in Pagosa Springs. We normally stay at one of the chain hotels because we feel like we know what we’re getting, but it didn’t appear that there were any of our normal go tos so we went out on a limb and gave Motel Soco a try. We were so glad we did.
We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The nice lady at the desk made us feel welcome and walked us right across the parking lot to our room. This wasn’t a new place by any means but was very well taken care of. The room and bathroom were spic and span, and the bed was quite comfy and provided a great night’s sleep before we headed out early in the morning.
I’ll add that we received a call a couple of hours after we’d departed to let us know my husband had left his old ball cap in the room. The lady wanted to check to see if he would like to have it sent to him. What great service! We would be happy to recommend Motel Soco to others, and if we ever travel through that area again, we’ll be planning to stay there.
- kathyhK8556QL (10/5): Highly recommend this lodging! - My husband and I stayed at Motel SOCO for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I have always liked the convenience of a motel especially the ability to park right by our room. Unfortunately, over the years motels have gotten a reputation for being old, run down and dirty. Motel SOCO has refurbished their rooms and they are clean and comfortable! The shower was terrific, excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water! The property is well cared for by conscientious and friendly staff. I highly recommend this lodging, dog friendly too! The food at the onsite restaurant and bar was tasty as well. No TV, no problem, the WiFi is strong so bring your tablet or computer. Thank you Motel SOCO for a real good time!

- Barrie (10/5): - Local construction made things a bit difficult - but hotel is charming! Music and restaurant were excellent. Quick check in code was so fast and helpful. Will definitely be our first choice on next visit to Pagosa Springs.
- Mike (6/5): Serviceable - We had a nice time. They need to let people know that the room has no tv better. We were aware of traffic going by but not bad later in the evening. Also they need to mark AC and heat on how to use it. I can figure most things out but not those. My wife and I did sleep very well though. Bed was nice. Shower was great.
- Ellyn (10/5): Would stay here again! - This was a great place to rest our head for the night. We wished there was another overhead lamp as it was fairly dark at night and in the morning getting ready. We loved the blackout curtains and the room was good sized. The little touches and overall aesthetic made it even better.
- Paula (10/5): I would definitely stay again! - Stayed 1 night as part of a road trip with my friend in September. Adorable family owned motel with an onsite restaurant and lounge featuring live music. Room was perfect and super clean. Even though the motel is right off the highway, it's very quiet. Only minutes from the hot springs resort. Wish I would have been able to stay longer, Pagosa Springs is a cute town. Motel staff was just as great!
- Thomas (10/5): - All good
- Paula (8/5): - A little rustic but had all you need but a TV but for one night it worked well
- Bradford (10/5): - Very nice
- Antoni (10/5): - The staff were ple
- Chris (8/5): - The outdoor areas are casual and nice and we really enjoyed the bar and outdoor stage with an excellent and fun bluegrass band playing. The room was clean with comfortable bed, but very old except for updated bathroom, kind of DIY-feeling and just portable heater and AC. Also noticeable highway noise. In summary, fun and friendly, relatively inexpensive but pretty basic room.
- Melanie (8/5): Cute motel - Great basic motel. Love that I can back right up and unload. Would stay again if in the area. Debbie in front office was friendly and helpful.
- Stanford (10/5): - An excellent motel in Pagosa Springs. It's an older property, but the rooms have been updated. We unfortunately missed the live music, but we heard it was great! I'll definitely stay there again if I'm back in the area.
- Jamie (10/5): - Cute little road side motel that has been mostly upgraded. Awesome little "lounge" and music venue on the premises. That made for fun evenings.
- David (10/5): - Great spot for a one night stay while driving through town. Convenient location. Nice grounds around the property. Staff was super friendly. Really liked the restaurant on the property. I would certainly stay here again next time around.
- Bridgette (10/5): Loveeee - Such a cool spot. Loved the room and it was so clean and the beds were so comfy. We loved it & slept so well
- Steven (10/5): - Great place great bar on site with live music would stay there again. Recommended to anybody who is going to Pagosa Springs.
- Shana (10/5): - Very nice room
- djhikes (10/5): Very good experience - Stopped for an overnight on a cross-country trip. LOVED the vibe here. Staff super friendly, rooms very clean, freshly updated. I will definitely return. The breakfast offering was nice. I felt very safe here. Close to town and restaurants.
- Kevin (10/5): Hidden Gem - This motel was a great find! Loved the bar/restaurant that had live music the night we stayed! Debbie was awesome and helped throughout our stay with check-in and even getting drinks later at the bar. They have a great happy hour! We even got to see a rainbow while sitting on the front porch. Great view of the mountains.
- Johanna (10/5): - My favorite place in Colorado. Sparkling clean, thoughtful amenities, mountain meadow-like setting, super staff, on site cafe and tavern with live music most evenings, indoor and al fresco seating.NO TV because there's too much to do in Pagosa. As their slogan says, have fun!
- Julie (10/5): - This was better than expected! Thank you!
- Vickie (10/5): - Nice clean room (except no television). Bar and music was very nice and Jackie at the front desk was very friendly and nice to converse with.
- Cuchy (6/5): - No tv
- pagge (8/5): - Great place to stay! The staff was so friendly and helpful with EVERYTHING! The place is dog-friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again.
- Blair (10/5): - So Enjoyable! From the host’s warm welcome in the artsy lobby, to the stylish, well-equipped, and comfortable room, to the walkable distance from town, we loved our stay and will be back. We did not take advantage of the tasty-looking onsite restaurant, but what a plus! Thank you and keep it up!!
- David (8/5): - O
- Chung hoon (10/5): - Very friendly!
- Peter (10/5): - Clean and cozy
- Travis (6/5): - No tv. Early checkout and right next to a road.
- Renee (10/5): - I highly recommend SOCO, I can’t wait to stay here again. Pagosa Springs is lovely with lots of things to do. However, spending an entire late afternoon and evening at the motel was so much fun!!!!
- Tiffany (6/5): - For the price, too low key with every sound coming from the outside and neighbors. They do provide ear plugs, which is your first clue. Overall, nice-ish rooms low-fi but cute lounge close to town.
- Tyler (6/5): - Rustic
- 455natew (10/5): The place to stay in Pagosa Springs - Picked this motel because I heard they have great live music at the lounge on premise. I missed the live music by one night, but really enjoyed my stay at Motel SOCO. The motel staff and the restaurant and bar staff we so nice and accommodating. Food and drink were excellent and the bar crowd was very friendly. Yeah, there was road noice but with the fan on, you couldn't hear it and I slept well.
- Jill (8/5): - We arrived at 8pm exactly but no one was available to check us in nor was there any info about how to check in after hours. We haphazardly were able to do it through a person at the bar.
The bed was great with plenty of pillows, and the bathroom was clean and had an excellent shower. We missed a TV. Also, no info or referrals about where to eat after 8pm. Very weird. Since the bar was still going it would have been nice to be able to watch some TV to counteract the bar noise.
- BikerAnnieF (10/5): Fantastic motel with tons of character - My husband and I travel all around the country on a motorcycle and we always look for charming, clean motels that feel like they have something special. This place definitely fit the bill! Rooms were great, service was great, motel property was great. Lots of lovely details and TLC on the grounds of this the motel. Owners were incredibly kind and accommodating. Had an incredible meal with a fantastic margarita at the lounge on the property. We will make a point to stay here again!
- Gene (10/5): - It's an older motel with dirt parking lot, electric room heater, and it get really dark at night. I really liked staying here. The staff were nice and courteous.
- travelinwoman18 (10/5): Cozy little stop - Motel soco is such a special place for me to stop now thanks to the amazing people who run it! Debbie and the rest of motel soco are some of the nicest people I've met and truly care about you and your experience there.
The rooms are cozy and comfy and have all you need. They have a restaurant/ bar that has live music which brings such a fun energy to the place. Definitely making it a tradition to stop here on my Colorado road trips!
- Jillian (10/5): - We stayed just one night but would definitely stay again if we're back that way. The staff is super friendly and welcoming and the room was cozy, clean, and comfortable.
- David F. (4/5): A dump. - Rudimentary. Bad bed. Noisy air conditioning. No TV. Unpaved parking. No coffee, water, or ice available in the morning. Front office manager was very nice.
- Kyle (10/5): - Loved this place! Unique spot with comfortable accommodations and a very cool, laid back vibe. Restaurant and bar on site (with live music!) were an amazing bonus. After 3 days of riding motorcycles, it was amazing to check in and be able to stay put and relax and have everything we needed available. Highly recommend and will stay here again!
- Holli (10/5): - Restaurant, bar, live music, parking right in front of your door… what more could you want!
- Eric (10/5): - The room was very cozy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The live band sounded good. We loved staying here and will definitely come back!
- Leslee (8/5): - This was a nice place. It is right. Off road so noisy, but they do provide ear plugs. Restaurant food was excellent. Room was cozy and bed comfortable.
- Gregory (8/5): Nice, but would be too rustic for some - Super friendly place. Clean and comfortable furnishings. Rooms don’t have A/C but evap cooling instead. My unit was noisy but finally cooled the room down.
- Arthur (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay but it is different when you are on vacation without a TV. Restaurant was great. Sitting area outside was nice. We would stay again even without the TV!!!
- Amanda (10/5): - Nothing else
- Gary (10/5): - This is an older motel that they have refurbished in a very cute way. Just the necessities for a short stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful river view from balcony. Large room
- JoEllen (8/5): - This property is a cute unique place to stay! The rooms are a bit small but it was fine for what we needed! The people who worked there were all very friendly. We ate at the restaurant on site. They have a great outdoor area with a stage and live music. The service and food were good! We would stay here again.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - This was a nice little gem of a motel in Pagosa Springs. The staff at the front desk and restaurant were super nice and friendly!
- Kurtis (10/5): - Very nice and convenient establishment
- Tom (8/5): The Southwest Loop - Kind of expensive for what you got, but convenient.
- Adrianna (10/5): - Loved the location, the views, the staff, the lounge, live music, everything about this place was amazing!
- Anthony (10/5): - Quick and easy check in. Nice property and small cozy rooms. Not all the creature comforts as the big chains like a TV which is not a big deal for some. We booked last minute as we rolled into town. Pricing was comparable to other places. Close enough to the main area of town. Would stay again and recommend
- Anthony (10/5): - Nice place. Good food and bar.
- Justina (10/5): - Cute little room I stayed in I liked it was quite and family oriented. If I come back to Pagosa springs I would definitely stay here again!
- Steven (8/5): - The room was nice and clean and well kept. The food in the restaurant was very good and the bar well stocked. We enjoyed the live music when they had it. All the staff was personable and helpful. We enjoyed the three nights we were there.
- Moses (10/5): - This was a surprise. We really enjoyed the vibe there. The rooms were done up really cute. The people running it were great
- Anne (10/5): Good vibes - Though curb appeal was minimal, a very delightful clean basic room. Only negative was road noise but motel provided ear plugs for sleeping,
Lounge served good food and we had the bonus of live music.
- sue (6/5): - Staff nice
No TV
Muddy parking lot dirt parking lot
Staff leave at 8 pm
Staff not there at 8 am
Road noise really bad
- Sightsee51697538982 (6/5): Friendly but not comfortable - The service was excellent at this motel; everyone was very friendly. There is a small hot breakfast menu available in the mornings. We ate 1 dinner at the on-site bar/restaurant, with tasty finger food.
Our room, Room 3 was cramped, dark, not enough light, and very noisy from highway traffic from 6:30am-11pm. The beds were very hard, and there was no desk, table or dresser to put our things. Ski equipment and gear really crowded the room since there was no storage. The nightstand is the size of a sheet of paper. Very tight and dark.
- Patti (10/5): - We loved the bar/kitchen in the premises. Nightly entertainment with local musicians was awesome. Staff was great!
- David W (8/5): - Decent value. Great staff and grill/lounge situation.
- Tiffany (4/5): - This place is loud, there’s a quiet time from 10-8 but the neighbors were loud as well as the employees. It took forever for the front desk attendant to show up. We asked if we could check out late but they said they’d have to charge me for another night. There was no hairdryer or tv.
- Jason (10/5): - Motel SOCO was an excellent place to stay! Even with a busy road being next to it, it truly wasn't very noticeable to me. The room was cozy and had an excellent view of the mountains! I felt at home there. The staff were so friendly and pleasant! The restaurant and bar staff were awesome! It truly was a very fun stay. There weren't televisions in the room and I tell you want, I didn't even miss it!!
- TodandTiff (6/5): Basic and clean - The service is great and the room is clean. The room is average. Small space. This was good the first night. It was 17° outside and we did not know how to work the heater. The little space heater warmed up the room after just a little while. There is no dresser, closet, hanging bar, or such place to put clothes. Watch your shins and toes on the bed frame. The bed is VERY firm and has several layers of blankets in case you do not know how to work the heater like us. It is great for basic needs and is clean.
- KATHY (10/5): - I recommend Hotel HoCo for people who want high value and very reasonable cost. The rooms are recently remodeled and include high end touches such as a large walk in shower and nice decor. Check in and out are efficient and staff are helpful. The trade off for the high value is that the rooms are small with not a lot of storage. The road noise is a soft hum and did not bother me.
- Mimi (10/5): - Quite road noise did not bother
- Trina (10/5): - We booked this property the day of, we were pleasantly surprised. We loved the room, very clean and boho vibe. We had been traveling all day, and loved that we could sit on the porch and enjoy the beautiful views, and have a cocktail. They have a restaurant at the motel, which was very convenient, food was good. Highly recommend this motel.
- Michael (4/5): - If you’re looking for an overpriced, rustic, roadside motel then this is it. Built in probably the 40’s, the web site says “recently renovated” but someone stopped well short of that. Reading the details, it says “TV in the lobby” because there are none in the rooms. Heat was from an electric space heater. So when I woke up in the middle of the night cold, I had to get out of bed and walk to the portable heater. The original hardwood floors were as cold as it was outside, just below freezing. In the dark it was easy to see light coming in on three sides of my room door. 10 minutes after setting the heater on high the fire/smoke detector went off. Standing on a plastic chair (that’s what you get to sit on in the room) I had to take it down and remove the batteries to silence it. For the room rate charged they need to completely renovate the motel top to bottom. If a room had been available at Motel 6, it would have been a welcome upgrade. The only positive comment I can make is that the bed was comfortable to sleep in. I will not stay there again.
- Lester (8/5): - Ok for a working man.
- Jonathan (10/5): - Easy access and quaint smaller room but homey. Nice cabin like feel. Clean. Parking was good. Noisy road next to it but they provide ear plugs and it’s really not that bad.
- ANDREW (4/5): - you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. nice furnishings but still a nasty old motel
- Maggie (10/5): - It was for one night stay. The room was clean and the decor was cute. The only thing I would recommend is to state somewhere in the room-notice that continental breakfast is available outside on a window ledge by the restaurant. I became aware of it only because I saw another person walk up there and come away with a cup in their hands. That's when I noticed the continental breakfast goodies- which were good, by the way!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Adorable motel - Cute place.....just need to get better pillows is all
- Pam (10/5): Two thumbs up! - Absolutely adored the place! Will stay again and recommend to friends and family!
- Mark (10/5): - Great location, clean and very friendly staff. Highly recommended
- Terri (8/5): - It is clean and super cute. Friendly staff. My only disappointment is that the restaurant wasn't open. But I would definitely come back.
- Jeane (8/5): - Super cute and funky property, conveniently located just moments out of downtown. They used to allow dogs, but apparently that privilege was abused and dogs are no longer welcome- bummer. The property is also for sale, so more changes are coming. Staff is friendly and accommodating- I checked in kind of late, looking for a caesar salad, a martini, and a comfy bed after 600 miles on the road. The woman at their little bar set me up with salad and martini that were both perfect. It IS on the highway so it can be a little loud with traffic noise, but they do supply little packages of ear plugs if you need them.
- Kirk (8/5): - It had a bar and music on the property although with kind of irregular hours.
- Connector42333006544 (8/5): Restaurant only review - Come for the drink specials, stay for the potato salad.
Good margs, good gin- and vodka-tonics. Friendly bartenders who will ask—and try to remember—your name…..But the food…
Their food comes from a food truck, and everything I’ve had is 4-star or better, including the sliders and the hot dog. But by far, the greatest surprise is the potato salad.
I don’t like potato salad. Never have. Detest it, even. American? German? Warm? Cold? Room temperature? Doesn’t matter; I hate it.
But this…this potato salad is DIVINE. Mustard, dill, celery, I don’t know what-all else. And I don’t care. I only know that this potato salad is enough for me to forgo my beloved French fries.
We make a point going here every couple of weeks or so, if not more often.
- Alan (8/5): - Nice place. Comfortable bed. Clean room. Friendly person at check in.
- LaNee (10/5): - An older property that has been updated and is very clean. There is a good restaurant and lounge on the property as well. The location is beautiful! I would stay there again.
- 492mande (4/5): Disappointed is an understatement - We arrived early and were informed our room may NOT be ready in time for check in…at 3:00. Ok, we gave grace, no biggie. We’ll go get a coffee in town.
We finally get in our room and it’s pretty nice for a renovated 1940’s motel. They’ve done a pretty good job on the aesthetics. The little wall fan was the best amenity in the room.
But it’s HOT. There’s a tiny box A/C under the sink that’s clearly not been running long and it’s not working real well. It’s struggling in the current climate. This was our first issue. It was uncomfortable and at this stage no opening of the windows will work. We were told that no one has ever said anything about the poor little a/c struggling and no one has ever said it’s hot. I find that hard to believe since the room had to have been over 80° at the height of the day and sun.
Moving on…
Next major thing we noticed was no TV. Don’t come at me and tell me “you’re in the mountains, go outside. Go do something.” We did, have been, and are going to. Anyhoot! No TV. Not every traveler has that mindset. Provide and let US decide. We were told it says it all over the website that there’s no TV, but I still can’t find it. 🤷🏻♀️
Our last night we decided to go to the restaurant/bar at about 7:45 pm for a drink to get out of our hot room and they’re closing. Is this normal for this area? Is dinner time over before 7:45? No drinks at a bar after 7:45 on a SATURDAY night? Hmmm 🤔
I would suggest king size pillows for a king sized bed. I would make sure there are outlets beside both sides of the bed. The chairs in the room are not for every body type. My hubs is a huge former military mountain man. He had to gingerly get back up so he didn’t break the chair. I’d suggest providing a better solution when someone suggests maybe their little a/c isn’t working well. I would get TV’s in the rooms so people have entertainment options when they’re ready to settle down for the night. I would have normal hours of operation for the restaurant and bar, especially on the weekends for tenants.
For $144/night my expectations were dashed in this cool mountain town.
- W612EIlynnh (8/5): Good stop - The good: This is a cute, revamped roadside motel with a great bar (that you get a discount at for being a guest!) that’s popular enough that mostly locals hang out at it. The room was very clean and the bed was decently comfortable. A Couple things I wish I’d known before booking - No tv. No hair dryer in room. And no microwave. Unfortunately the AC unit also struggled to keep up with the summer heat so it took a while for the room to cool down at night. Otherwise this was a good stay and worth the price.
- jameson2016 (6/5): NO CENTRAL AIR - I’ll start by saying I’m from Texas. To say I’m a little disappointed in the fact it was mentioned there’s not a tv versus not a real AC is an understatement. I’ve been on a hot motorcycle all day and the most favorite part of my day was to check into a hotel with an 80° room. Fantastic. Friendliest check in hostess. There was a live band and bar that were all shutting down while we were checking in. Could have been a cool place. Come back in the winter.
- robert (8/5): No frill goodness! - Easy check in, great bed, clean, loud AC. Always great stay!
- Mike (10/5): - One of my favorite places in Pagosa
- Lucero (6/5): - Positives- friendly staff, convenient location ( middle of town)
Negatives- property right off the highway so a lot of noise ( earbuds provided but unable to sleep with them on so did not help), no TV ( inconvenient when u stay a night in occasionally for whatever reason), no microwave ( food is expensive in CO so a microwave is a huge benefit), room felt a lil cramped
Overall it was an ok stay but I would've paid a lil more for a better location and room amenities and I've also paid less for more than what this hotel offered.
- STEVEN (10/5): Good Pagosa Stopover - Just a quick stop along the way. Adequate for the price. No TV, but that’s OK. Very nice staff. Dog friendly.
- Daniel (10/5): - Cute motel was perfect for our one night stay.
- Jolene (10/5): - It is quaint and the small scale is nice. It is great to have disc gold and corn hole available.
- Gordon (6/5): - No TV in public places and no breakfast as advertised. Limited dining contrary to advertised.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Mehhh....it was ok - Was going to only stay 1 night but life events happen and I stayed 3, all in different rooms. Front desk lady was nice. The rooms were more rustic (no tv and lights very dingy lighting) than expected. Not any outlets by beds to plug in phone to charge. The shower currents don't stay in the shower and there was a big puddle on the floor when I got out, which is scary when the plug to the bathroom heater was very close to the bottom of the floor. The floor was slanted in room 8. The fans were great but not all working properly. It is a very noisy area since it is next to Hwy 160 so they kindly supply earplugs! The walls are very thin so early rising children next door was a rude awakening at 6 in the morning. There were large cracks around the doors that let air and light in. For the price, it was a little high I think but it worked. Would be great if owners/management would stay in each room a night and experience it as a guest would to fix all the kinks.
- David (6/5): Nice place, no frills, expect some neighbor noise. - Was a good place to stay overnight between Durango and Royal Gorge. The room was very nice and basic. The room was comfortable but could have used a TV. The walls are very thin, but they do give you earplugs. I would use them!!
- WanderingTurk (8/5): Very good. - You can tell owners make a continuous effort to keep this place up to date. Location is good, might get noisy at times. Price was high when I stayed, other than that solid place. Will be back, if price is right:)
- NatalieGS84 (2/5): Rude staff (Autumn), disgusting room, loud highway noise - My partner and I stayed here, which was one of the worst experiences.
First off, the staff here was extremely kind, except for Autumn. Anytime we communicated a concern, she responded to us as if we were stupid or a nuisance.
A. The internet wasn't working. Instead of investigating why she told us the instructions were on the back of the door, like we were incapable of actually reading or connecting to a wi-fi network. When in fact, the modem was disconnected for the whole property. If she had been a decent host, it wouldn't have taken 24 hours for this issue to be resolved.
B. The property is extremely noisy, being by the highway. The property can not control this, but they should be more upfront on the noise level and thin walls in their advertising. We asked the front desk if we could see a room further away from the highway, but it didn't make that much difference, and we just decided not to pack up and move rooms. They showed us ONE room and were kind (not Autumn), and we were quick about it. Note: Reading in other comments where residents wanted to see other rooms FOR THE SAME REASON, the staff was happy to do this, understanding the noise level is loud.
C. The rooms were not clean. The bed sheets had dirt on them. There was a weird brown stain on the walls and other disgusting aspects. The rooms do not look like how they are advertised. You think you are booking and staying somewhere else, but it is not the same. I understand why they do that. No one would ever book if they showed images of the room you would be living in. There are very few outlets, and the ones they do have either have lamps plugged into them that barely work or are located behind the bed, and you have to move it away from the wall to plug anything in. We made friends with a local couple at some of the hot springs, and when finding out where we were staying, they said, "Oh...you go there for drinks and live music, but you don't stay there". The place has a local reputation for not being the best place to stay.
D. When we pointed out the items that were not clean, we were accused of being difficult and unable to be made happy. We were told we could go ahead and check out. We were eventually accused of lying and making up for the lack of cleanliness issues because we didn't document anything.
This was our experience with this property, and we will never stay here again. Autumn was a rude human being and an embarrassment to other women-run businesses. It wasn't as much of the property was not clean, and the internet was not working; all of those things can be controlled and fixed. It was how we were treated by Autumn. She was rude, dismissive, and she questioned our integrity.
I see the responses on here saying this place isn't for everyone. That might be true; some people might want a cleaner, quiet, and more functional space to stay in for a few days. Regardless of the conditions, you should still operate like a decent human being to other fellow humans.
We will never be staying here again, nor will we ever recommend this place.
- Mary (10/5): - We booked last minute during a road trip based on our waitress's recommendation while eating at a local restaurant. The contactless check-in worked beautifully. The accommodations were cozy with a rustic flair. I was a bit surprised that there wasn't a tv in the room. The owner/operator has been most helpful in getting a forgotten item back to me. Will definitely stay again the next time our path leads through Pagosa S[rings!
- Kathleen (4/5): - After i made reservation, I had a positive test for covid. We tried to call the motel to say we cannot come. we called 3 times between 3pm and 7:30pm on Saturday and 2 times on Sunday and Monday between 3 pm and 7:30 pm.
