Will come back!
We normally stay with friends in our visit to Del Norte, however plans had changed and I had always driven past Mellow Moon and was excited to book a stay here for a few days. We were expectedly happy with the decor, cleanliness and hospitality. Lauren was incredibly helpful and attentive which you don’t get at most places. The room provided everything we needed and right in town a walk away from local eateries, coffee shops and lite shopping. A hike or scenic drive is a short distance away. The beds were so comfy and we appreciate the eco friendly options available. Please do yourself a favor and book a stay here and check out the gift shop area. Thanks MellonMoon!

We do indeed put a lot of energy into making this a premiere destination here in our small town, so having you notice all the small details means a lot. Hope to have you back again soon!!

Nice owners. Cute room with high quality linens and mattress. Modern decor. Very dirty room - found previous guest contact lens and floor under bed and cabinets were filthy where I found a used tissue, dead bugs and tons of dirt and dust....looked like these areas had not been cleaned in weeks/months. Also stained comforter either coffee or body fluids.

Hi Paul! I am so sorry this was your experience; our team puts a lot of energy into thorough cleans between each and every guest, and clearly we must have missed attention to detail on your room. Thanks for leaving the review and helping us to continue to improve as a small business in a small town.

Updated motel in all the right ways!
We were passing through on a road trip from Texas to Colorado. Perfect stop in DelNorte for the night. Room was clean; beds were very comfortable; and decor was great. Large TV for a Ted Lasso marathon finished off our night. Don’t skip the in-room coffee and creamer; very delicious! The owner has thoughtfully curated all the special touches and it shows! Very nostalgic as well!

This property is so awesome, and in today's world of hotel/motels it is truly unique. It has the feel of a motel I would have stayed in growing up as a child, with a absolutely awesome modernization. It fit our needs so well, and the owners/manager were so easy to contact, ask questions and get information from. It is a unique experience and I am so glad I found this place for our family to stay for a couple nights. Would definitely recommend if you're passing through the Alamosa area!

What a great little gem of a hotel. First of all, Lauren could not be any nicer and easier to work with. This place has "hip" vibe, and lots of great extras and details. The amenities room is great, we loved our chilled bottle of water waiting in the fridge, the robes, the products in the bathroom were nice and smelled amazing. The keyless entry was nice especially because we arrived at night. The only bummer was that the cute little camper with coffee and burritos etc., didn't open a little earlier for a weekend. We would have loved to partake but had to hit the road around 7:30 a.m.

Hi Michelle! Thank you SO much for your kind and thoughtful review - we are bummed too that you didn't get to enjoy the Camper service. Our Chef hails from Palm Springs and makes the most delicious burritos and organic donuts. We will have to have you back to stay again soon to experience that - and our new bar when it opens up post-renovations later this Summer! Safe travels + looking forward already to your next visit. Cheers!

Pros: well maintained, responsive staff, trash AND recycling bins, nice lobby and room decor. Cons: noisy (early morning skiers loading up cars), thin walls b/w rooms, old electrical wiring (tripped the breaker in our room, somehow).

Response from Lauren on Mar 29, 2023
Hey Donald! Thanks for your review, though it’s a bit disappointing that you leave 3 out of 5 stars when we had the breaker fixed within 8 minutes of you reporting it (nearly an hour past our front desk closing no less…). Reviews are so important because of the productive feedback we as small businesses can get from our guests, but in-the-moment feedback is always much more actionable and appreciated than a ‘behind the screen’ recount well after you’ve left when there’s not much we can do to help remedy any issues. For whatever it’s worth, all of our wiring (and plumbing / the building itself) is brand new post-renovation just completed in 2020. We hope to get the chance to host you again to earn those few extra stars, though some of the character of our particular stay experience (ex: neighboring guests and ski / outdoor adventure traffic) can’t necessarily be avoided. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Safe travels!

A great place to break a long journey
A really well appointed motel. It had a unique, slightly quirky but cute feel about it. It’s a largely contactless checkin process, which worked really well. There is a reception which has a little kitchen, fridge area. There is beverages and snacks which appeared well stocked, which presume can be purchased. The motel has been renovated to good standard and feels very eco-friendly and sustainable with the products used to furnish the rooms and toiletries provided for the guest.
