Ute Motel - Motel in Fountain - 599 Crest Dr, USA

Guests beware. The owner, for lack of a better word, is lazy. When I arrived, the room had two double beds and was already paid for ahead of time. My co-worker and I shared this room. The owner decided that he didn't charge enough after the fact and wanted more money. I should have already taken this as a hint that things were not going to go well. I stayed there for five days and this was for work. I work outside in the heat with a construction crew. We had to switch rooms on the third night. The second night, the ac went out on us, and when we reported it to the owner, he didn't want to fix it right away. He reluctantly brings up a smaller unit and puts a board around it, causing the heat to build up around the ac and this makes it go out again for the third night. We had asked to be moved to a different room on the second night to avoid this issue. The owner reluctantly allows us to move to a different room on the third night. The fourth night comes around we arrive and the owner had not changed towels. Not once has the owner changed towels for us. I had to ask for towels and he only gives us enough towels for two people for one day. We need to take showers daily. I had to take him the dirty towels to get clean towels. So when friday came around I had just asked for wash cloths, the small towels, the owner goes on a tirade that I should not be asking for towels daily. Again, i didnt ask for a full set of towels, just the small washcloths. Motels/hotels should provide towels if a customer needs this. I didn't ask for a whole set of towels just the small one and the owner wants to berate me and argue with me about towels and service. We haven't asked for much of anything. This owner hasn't changed our towels and expects us to have unsanitary conditions. He leaves us with dirty towels. We didn't ask him to clean the room, make the beds or anything like that. Just asked for a room with working ac and clean towels. After the owner tried to argue with me about towels, he decided to retaliate against my co-worker and not extend his stay when he had nothing to do about the towel request. This owner lacks customer service, professionalism, and common decency. If you want to have an unsanitary experience with a side of rudeness and unwelcoming feeling, this is your place.

I’ve stayed for three days. I like the room. I’m a travel nurse, working night shifts. I got off of work this am and asked if I could book 2 more days. He said no, this is a very expensive time, Thursday through the weekend. So you have to leave.

Positive: It was quiet and the front staff were friendly. It wad nice to have a refrigerator and microwave in the room. Negative: The bathroom could have been cleaner and the room smelled like smoke from a fireplace. Negative: ""

Friendly staff, owners very cool. Quite and very reasonable prices.

I stayed at the motel and was greeted by a very nice lady and she is very proud of all of the updates that they have done to this motel. This motel is very up-to-date at a fair value for this small town and it is pretty quiet. I will definitely be staying there again when I have to travel back for work.

It was a great stay here. Rooms were very clean and looked good. Management was warm and friendly, as well as knowledgeable and professional. I recommend the UTE Motel to everyone!!!! Rather it be for business or leisure the UTE MOTEL will always be my first choice!!!!!

Feel as though most people with negative reviews had isolated issues or lofty expectations for what they were purchasing. Comfortable room for the price, stopped by for 1 night on a road trip. Extremely affordable rooms, didn't have to worry about leaving our loaded car in the lot because it was very clean, well lit, and lots of security cameras. Rooms were clean and bed was pretty comfortable. Polite man greeted us and checked us in and out the next morning.

If you are looking for a place that has uniform lightbulbs in the bathroom fixtures, or real carpet instead of carpet squares, this motel isn't for you. BUT, if you are looking for a quiet, clean place to sleep, this is the perfect option. Don't judge the book by its cover. From the outside, it looks a little sketchy. But inside, it's exactly what you've paid for. There is a flat screen TV, a bigger than average fridge, clean linens, excellent A/C and lots of high-pressure hot water in the shower. This is a small, family-owned motel that is less than 15 mins away from Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, Cave of the Winds, the US Olympic Museum and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Pike's Peak and other attractions are less than 30 mins away. It may not be the most luxurious place to stay, but for the price and its proximity to attractions, you can't beat it.
