Mesa Inn

Driving from Flagstaff to Denver I booked a room for one night at Mesa Inn, through Expedia in Grand Junction, CO. I paid Expedia using Google Wallet which means I didn’t have to pay Mesa Inn anything. I like to use Google Wallet to pay for online bookings or purchases to prevent my Credit Card info been shared by to many parties. When I arrived at Mesa Inn they wouldn’t allow me to stay unless I provided them with my Credit Card information. This defeated the whole purpose of paying Expedia in full using Google Wallet and makes me anxious that my credit card could be used by the motel staff in the future. Apparently this is a rough neighborhood and their residents tend to damage motel property, hence the need for my credit card info.
Anyways, left with no choice I gave them my credit card info. When I entered my room the light switch inside the door didn’t switch on the light because the bulb was blown (I presume). I had to fumble around the room in the dark to locate the lights at the bedside. The room was an absolute ice box even though I had booked and paid for it in full, four hours earlier. It never entered their head to have someone turn the heat on.
It took close to three hours for the room to heat up with the old heater that was located under the window. It was so loud it made it difficult to hear the TV. They promised «High Speed» internet… LOL. That didn’t happen, it didn’t work even though I went to the front desk twice. The front desk employee got on the phone and called a Bobby or Bobbie (Manager, at least in name) asking permission to reboot the system. He/​She granted her permission, she then asked that I wait 20 minutes before trying again. I tried several times that night and in the morning, but it never worked.
The carpet appeared to be well vacuumed but there were black dirty stains on the floor near the fridge area.
The light in the bathroom to approximately 15 minutes to «power up» before it came to full strength.
The sink stopper wouldn’t hold any water so I had to run the tap while I shaved, wasting precious water.
There was a disgusting red blood stain on one of the pillow cases that was on my bed.
How this place got any stars is beyond me? Never again for this flop house they call an Inn. I guess we get what we pay for?
Mesa Inn you were such a disappointment.

This isn’t really a 5 star hotel in the sense that people would think but it is worth a 5 star Unilocal review. I checked in around 11pm and the lady was really nice when she checked me in. The room was very clean and it was all i needed to pop a night. The price was the best part, it was a lot of bang for my buck. The neighborhood was very safe and very well lit parking lot. Plenty of food options within a 2 miles radius of the place.

It’s a clean and reasonably priced inn. Reception was great and breakfast was fine for the price. It looks like this place was getting bad reviews, but the owners have turned it around.

We chose this hotel because it is cheap. That being said I didn’t expect it to be modern or have nice furniture, I can deal with shabby for the 8 hours I need to sleep before I get back on the road. What I can’t deal with is turning on the air conditioner and a rank urine smell circulating out into the room. We were so tired we decided just to leave the AC off thinking it wasn’t a warm night so we could just deal with it. Then at 3am the floorboards of the room above started creaking loudly and woke me up out of my sound sleep. This went on for about 30 minutes while I listened to the guests above me pacing back and forth doing God knows what. The room had also become belligerently hot and stuffy at this point. I called the front office to complain about both issues and the girl working was apologetic but just sounded beat down. She said she just checked in the people in the room above us and hopefully they would go to bed soon. As far as the AC she said she didn’t really know what she could do about it, the maintenance man didn’t get to work until 6:30am and they didn’t have any fans. The people above us didn’t quiet down until after 4am and by then I was so mad it took me forever to get back to sleep. My advice to you, suck it up and pay the extra $ 50 to stay somewhere decent, thank me later!

Overall a good experience, I’ll definitely stay here again if I need to, small clean room to spend the night, lots of pillows and a clean bed.

We arrived very late at this hotel, thank god for them or else we probably would have relocated. Upon arriving we check in and have to use a special late reg. room were somebody talks to us through glass and gives us our keys through a metal box like a bank teller. Giving me the impression that aye we are in a bad part of town. Next we park and as we are walking to room there are cigarette butts all around and a heavy stench of cigarettes and marijuana combined. The room is cramped, the bathroom door appears to be kicked in so it does not shut all the way. The bathroom is clean hence the 2 stars. Very cramped with the cheapest amenities and not enough towels. Beds were too soft like sleeping on waterbed. Upside lots of pillows. A clean fridge, contintal breakfast had a few options including hard bowl eggs, oatmeal, bagels, and a variety of juices and coffee. Pool looked clean and you did see many staff in the morning working. Including the very persistent maid that bugged us 3 times before we checked out at normal check out time. You get what you pay for our room was 75.00 with tax so my expectations weren’t high. But this expierence was still subpar.

This place was really affordable, especially since we weren’t initially intending to stop when we came through town. The night clerk was very friendly and let us know about the amenities and breakfast, and the room was clean and comfortable, though not overly large or fancy (though «you get what you pay for» comes to mind in this instance).
Other reviewers mentioned that the walls are not well-​soundproofed, but we didn’t have issues, and there were guests in at least one of the neighboring rooms. Maybe the soundproofing differs from room to room, or perhaps our neighbors were just quiet; I’m not certain. But we didn’t have a problem with noise, and even with noise, we had a comfy place to lay our heads that wasn’t the seat of a moving truck, so it certainly beat the alternative when it came down to it.
The morning clerk was present when I came to the office area for breakfast, though he didn’t greet me as I came in the door (though other guests did) and he was entirely absent when I returned to check out. I rang the bell, called out into the office area, looked around the grounds, returned, rang the bell again, and called out some more before another attendant came to the front desk just as I was muttering that nobody seemed to be present at all. «Check-​out» consisted of handing her the keys and telling her our room number, so I’m not certain whether or not I simply attracted the attention of a passing member of the housekeeping staff who politely collected the keys so that I wasn’t in the office complaining anymore or not.
Overall, if I need to stay in town again, it’s cheap and conveniently, there’s a really nice Applebee’s across the street for dinner. I won’t worry about interfacing much with their absentee morning office staff, but for the price, the tradeoff in service was almost worth it.

Clean and cozy, great for the price! rooms have fridge and microwave. Free breakfast. Laundry on site was awesome!

No, no, never again. The toilet lid didn’t even fit on the toilet. Pillows smelled nasty, mattress was very hard. I got a few hours of rest, gave up at 4;30 am and got back on the road. Next time I will spend the extra money.

Clean and cheap. Pretty noisy. As other reviewers have noted, you can hear people next-​door quite plainly and obviously. you can hear people walking around outside and talking outside too. The drapes in the room would not close and finally had to go to clip to keep them together. The shower felt great but did not drain. The room had been freshly painted and the walls look nice. As the other reviewers have mentioned, the Internet does not work well at all. In fact did not work for me at all. When I reserved the room, I was told it had a refrigerator in it, but it did not. The front desk was nice enough and helpful so I give them kudos for that. The first room smelled so bad that I had to go to the front desk and request a different room. I was graciously and without question given the second room. Breakfast is a joke, all they have is two kinds of sugar cereal to choose from, white bread, and honeybun and muffins. I guess it’s okay if you like sugar sugar sugar and Empty carbos.

I stayed here for longer than 3 days, so I’ve got a pretty good idea of this hotel… here it goes:
The doors, oh my fucking god. It took 5 – 50 times of sliding your card in the door for it to open, seriously, stood at my door for 10 minutes everyday trying to get the key card to work. I got 4 replacement cards, all the same.
Once you get into the door, there’s only 1 way to close it, SLAM it.
The walls have screw/​drill holes everywhere, even the frame for the mirror.
At night, you could hear when someone was taking a bath/​shower in another room, as the water would really WHINE loud, you could hear it in the walls. Enough to wake you up.
What else… the internet, it sucks. Works for about 5 minutes at a time, then you have to constantly reconnect to get it working for another 5 minutes.
If you can live with this… then go ahead, but I won’t be back.

We were in town for a graduation and most places we’re booked, so we booked here. It was just a place to stay for the night, clean, very nice staff, which is all we really needed for a night. It’s an older motel with older blankets. Bad part, when we opened the window there was no screen! And no screen on a few rooms. It was a nice night and we would have liked to sleep with the window open, luckily the air conditioner worked. It was also nice to have a free breakfast. So, it’s an okay place to stay if you just need a place to sleep for the night. Wish there had been a fridge in the room and we had no wi-​fi in the room.

Are there better places to stay? Sure.
It was pretty shabby. But it was cheap and clean an I just needed a place to crash for the nite. So it was fine.
The girl at check in wasn’t very friendly, kind of had a monotone voice & seemed to be on auto-​pilot… but she got me a room, so whatever.
The morning chick was much friendlier.
I’d recommend it for a cheap place to crash for a nite, but not more than that.

Can’t say much about this place was only here for 9 hours or so. Decent room. It seemed as clean as it could be for how old the hotel was. My car didn’t get messed with so that’s a plus. The a/​c and fridge were a bit noisy. Also, I could hear the person upstairs walking around at 5am. Continental breakfast was a joke but most are. Wifi did NOT work very well. Businesses like this don’t deserve to be in business. They just kind of float along and get by.

Horrible Room. Asked for a non-​smoking room and right when we walked in, the smell of cigarette hits you like a punching bag as you walk in. Also the AC/​Heater is useless and the wifi goes on and off.
