Newly remodeled, very nice. The staff that checked us in was a little less than friendly though. Room was freezing when we got there but easy fix. Concerned that the door doesn't latch shut very well!

This is the second time I've stayed at mine cart and I'm always pleased with my stay here! Compared to the surrounding motels in the same price range I find myself choosing mine cart. The rooms are exceptionally clean, the remodel has everything functional like new, the staff is phenomenal, attentive and accommodating, and it's right in the middle of town. The spaces can be a tad small but as long as you know that coming in it's very doable! Overall as someone who travels to Montrose often to visit family I always stay at mine cart because I know that I'll always have a great place to stay at a fantastic price. Thank you mine cart!

I have stayed at the Minecart motel on several occasions. The cost of stay is very competitive. The rooms are very clean and the room is furnished nicely. The beds are very comfortable. Parking is right in front of the room entry door, which is very convenient. The room includes a microwave and small refrigerator. It would have been better if there was an in-room coffee maker.

A nice little motel for a great price. The rooms were on the smaller side but nicely upgraded. The manager was very pleasant and had a great overnight stay while visiting family in the area.
