Modern amenities with a classic “all-American” feel
For those travelers looking for the classic, all-American experience, a reservation at the Country West Motel is your lucky day. With locations in Craig, Mancos, and Rock Springs, they are aptly named, providing guests with a classic “Old West” experience.
Their three locations are situated in bigger small towns, with two in Colorado and one in Wyoming. The inns themselves are unique, and a nice alternative to bland, cookie-cutter franchise inns. For example, my favorite location in Mancos boasts a barbecue pavilion and year-long horseshoe games – a classic American tradition, and lots of fun if you’ve never tried! It’s also incredibly close to the Mesa Verde National Park, a famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, which contains ancient cliff dwellings built by the Anasazi peoples – a must see.
Meanwhile, the Rock Springs location is incredible for being situated around a variety of stunning outdoor locations perfect for the adventurer: nearby fishing, hunting, mountain biking, and hiking spots are quite popular. Last, their location in Craig is rich in Old West history – and, conveniently, located near the Yampa Valley Golf Course, for those not interested in a history lesson.
Stereotypical American tourist destinations regularly include the big metropolitan stops – New York, Chicago, Seattle – as well as classic landmarks, like the Grand Canyon, or Mount Rushmore. But for a real American experience, it’s amazing to take a little road trip and visit these off-the-beaten-path locations. The locals are friendly, the food is phenomenal, and the sites are incredible.
I should also mention, a great part of the Country West Motel is their modern amenities: wireless internet, television, maid service, and incredible staff await your arrival – more than you can say for many small town inns. Highly recommended!
In short, the Country West Motel isn’t just for locals, but is a fantastic place for the inquisitive international tourist to check out.
