Advantages: Good rooms, well furnished and clean Disadvantages: Service is poor and very very slow
...Earlier this year we took a trip around the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, booking up cheap hotels and testing just what you could get in the price range of £25-40 a night. Our fourth night away saw us return to the tiny town of Ouray where we had stayed just a couple of nights earlier in another budget hotel called the Ouray Chalet Inn. Of the five budget hotels we used on our trip, the ComfortInn had one of the better rooms but unquestionably the worst service.
Since we'd spent time in Ouray already we had no problems finding the hotel, tucked away on a side street in the middle of the town. On our first trip to Ouray we'd arrived from the north along very good roads but this time we came in from the south along the terrifying 'Million Dollar Highway' - a 25 mile route winding through the mountains between Silverton and Ouray...
