Montrose Valley Lodge
A practical Montrose base, minutes from Black Canyon country
A motel in Montrose
Montrose Valley Lodge is a motel on East Main Street in Montrose, Colorado, about seven minutes from Montrose Regional Airport and roughly fifteen minutes by car from the South Rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Rooms start at $130 per night and parking is free. The property suits road-trippers and park visitors who want a clean, no-fuss stop rather than a resort. An outdoor pool with lounge chairs, a lobby lounge with a fireplace, and on-site guest laundry add practical value. Pets are welcome, and facilities for disabled guests are available.
Who'll feel at home here
A straightforward motel with an outdoor pool, free parking, and easy access to Black Canyon — nothing fancy, but consistently clean and well-located for the national park.
Best for
- National park day-trippers
- Road-trippers passing through Colorado
- Travellers with pets
- Groups or families needing two beds
Less suited to
- Guests wanting an on-site restaurant
- Those prioritising room comfort — sleep scores are mixed
- Travellers expecting bathroom upgrades
Outdoor pool and lounge area
The outdoor swimming pool has lounge chairs and a cabana seating area alongside it. It is the clearest outdoor amenity on the property and a reasonable draw in Montrose's dry, sunny climate.
Lobby with fireplace
The lobby includes a fireplace and front desk access, giving arrivals a warmer landing than a standard motel check-in counter. Private and express check-in options are available for guests who prefer to skip the queue.
Location for Black Canyon visitors
The motel sits about fifteen minutes by car from the South Rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Montrose Regional Airport is roughly seven minutes away — useful if you are flying in to start a road trip.
Rooms with kitchen basics
Every room includes a microwave and refrigerator. The suite configuration also has a vanity area, a living space, and select kitchen amenities, which suits guests staying more than a night or two.
