Peaceful and Home Feel
The staff was so friendly and accommodating. It's also a plus (if you like a social atmosphere) that the motel is connected to a bar and restaurant. The day we checked in was Karaoke night and the woman who helped us recommend staying a little further from the bar and patio so it wouldn't be too noisy with the bar guests. We didn't hear a peep it was so quiet, I wouldn't have known there was any events happening downstairs. We wouldn't have known otherwise of noise concerns so I appreciate her transparency up front. We were here for a wedding, my only complaints is that we did not get to try the restaurant, they had changed hours to open at 11AM instead of 8 per their website so we missed breakfast due to our own schedule commitments. It looks and sounds outstanding. With being in town for a wedding it was a little difficult that there was not an iron or hair dryer in the room, I managed to steam out our clothes with the shower. There was also no provided hair dryer. These were not a deal breakers by any means but a heads up to pack for yourself accordingly. We loved this little motel and felt safe with our 4 year old. The area is beautiful and a quaint small town, we hope to visit and enjoy the restaurant in the future!

Hidden Treasure❤️❤️❤️
We had a very long drive from iowa and were extremely hungry, dirty, and exhausted. We were able to eat a great inexpensive meal at the restaurant, got accommodated to check in a little early so we could get showered and sleep peacefully the rest of the day and night. It was a very low key safe place with every we needed. Special thanks to the woman in charge- I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name. She was wearing many hats- bartender, waitress, hotel receptionist and was super busy managing everything and was very patient with my exhausted husband❤️

Everything I wanted here was great.
My main reason for the overnight stay was that I could not get home in time to watch Sunday football. At check-in, the receptionist made sure I knew which TV channel to select. The room was quite spacious and very comfortable. Between games, I just trotted down stairs for a turkey sandwich, sweet potatoe fries, and a beer. I was happy with the food and service there as well. Today I will take in a hike before heading home.

We tried to cancel due to being on a motorcycle and bad weather which kept us from making it. When we called there was no answer many times over. Message said if we were trying to order food to keep trying till someone answered, which told me they were busy or lack of help and we had ran into this on our trip, so understood that. So had the chance to leave a message about canceling and no one returned my call. Went thru Expedia also pd extra for the insurance. Expedia told me this property did not honor cancellations! Seriously what kind of business is this. We were charged full price and we were over 3 hrs away from this place. They have never returned my call😡

We are sorry to hear that you had experienced poor weather conditions on your trip. We did try to reach out to you via email. Our property does not provide any type of travel insurance nor do we have anything to do with Expedia's travel insurance. We do hold a strict 48 hour cancelation policy that Expedia provided to you when you booked with our property. Although we do have this strict policy we did not charge you for the stay. If you were charged, any payment would have been on Expedia's side and you will have to contact them. Thank you for considering us for your stay.

This motel is a little off the beaten path but the scenery coming from the west off of I-70 is spectacular. It is great if you are interested in mixing with the locals. The room was spotless and comfortable. The restaurant is in the same building. If you have a pup, there is a covered porch to eat on too. Food was exceptional. Owners were extremely friendly and willing to please.

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay at this out-of-the-way combination which we were sent to when no spaces were available in Grand Junction. The room was quiet and clean (there are only three), the food was good and the service was friendly and good. Interesting display of early ranch/farming equipment on the dining room walls. About 12 miles off from I 70 through an attractive canyon.

We stayed at this charming hotel several days at the suggestion of a cousin who lives in Mesa. It was wonderful. Clean throughout, fantastic food, clever Western decor, on-site laundry, and an accommodating and friendly staff. It could not have been better. Our room had a view of the Grand Mesa and mornings were highlights while we watched deer families. Highly recommend!

When you see their sign...Keep driving!!!
Location is desolate making their over priced restaurant and bar the only option. Staff was extremely rude (unless over tipped of course) and highly untrained. Originally booked a three night stay but they were so rude that my son and I wanted to leave the second morning. Unfortunately none of the staff knew how to refund a credit card. They are a “pet friendly”establishment but if your pets are small then beware because they allow their dogs to roam unleashed day and night. The dogs are territorial and aren’t afraid to show it. The owners seem to be oblivious of how a small town establishment should be ran.

We are very sorry you were unhappy with your stay. We have many reviews of how wonderful our staff is and how kind and attentive they are. They are human and respond with respect, if they are shown respect. Which they were not shown during your stay. Unfortunately we were not able to issue a refund due to our cancellation policy (please review policy agreement). Please be mindful that we did not charge you damage fees for the mattress and bedding you stained, extra cleaning fees for multiple pet "accidents" on the carpet or the four bags of trash hauled out after your stay. In response to other pets being on the property, we are a pet friendly establishment. Although Wagon Wheel does not have any dogs, we will be addressing the issue of unleashed pets. Thank you for the review.

Last minute getaway to Palisade
We usually stay in Palisade but everywhere was booked. We drove in during the dark so seemed remote at first and we were surprised to see groups of cows walking down the middle of the road so we just drove slowly around them. Room was good for us, clean and quiet. Smelled a little of smoke since it drifted up from the porch below. Seemed like a family-run place so people were nice and helpful. We only ate breakfast in the restaurant and it was good.
