Cortez Hotels

The first property from the Hilton Hotel Group in Cortez opened June 2015, positioned next to several other hotels on the east side of town, 8.5 miles from the entrance to Mesa Verde National Park. Hampton Inn Cortez has three floors, 74 rooms & suites, a small meeting room, and a dining room for the free hot breakfast (take-out version available). Snacks may be purchased from a 24 hour convenience store, or from a Walmart store a quarter of a mile west. Meals can be prepared using the microwaves in all guest accommodations, or using the bbq grill on the patio. Other leisure facilities are an indoor pool and a fitness center.

One of the closest hotels to Mesa Verde National Park is the Holiday Inn Express Cortez, situated 9 miles from the park entrance on US 160, near the junction with CO 145 (Dolores Road). This location 1.5 miles east of the center of Cortez, on the south side of the highway in a relatively undeveloped area, and 5 miles from the municipal airport; it offers 100 comfortable rooms & suites on 3 floors, an indoor pool, fitness center, sauna and free breakfast buffet; the lunch/dinner there is a bar/restaurant adjacent. Good standards of cleanliness, customer service and facilities make the Holiday Inn Express the best hotel in town.

At 2131 Main Street (US 160), the Baymont Inn sits 1.5 miles east of the center of Cortez, in a quiet area just off the main road. This is a large hotel on 3 floors, with uninterrupted views south and east across Montezuma Valley towards the North Rim mesa. One restaurant is adjacent, and there are several others within a mile west, together with a Wal-Mart and various other stores. The inn has 150 fairly large rooms, and amenities of an indoor pool/hot tub, fitness center, business center and free deluxe continental breakfast (including a selection of hot items).

The Days Inn is the eastermost hotel in Cortez, and hence the closest to Mesa Verde National Park, the entrance to which is just over 8 miles east. All guest rooms are equipped with refrigerators & microwaves, and have pleasant views over a garden area with outdoor pool/hot tub at the center. The motel is separated from the main road (US 160) by 300 feet of undeveloped land, so the rooms are nice and quiet. There is one restaurant (Mexican) adjacent.

Super 8 Cortez occupies a partly tree-lined site with plenty of parking space, on the south side of Main Street in the city center, right opposite a supermarket (City Market) and within half a mile of over a dozen restaurants. There are several city parks two blocks east. The affordable, pet friendly motel has three floors, interior corridors and 60 guest rooms, and it offers three main amenities of free wi-fi, free continental breakfast and a guest-use computer.
