Balanced Rock Inn

Stayed at the Balanced Rock Inn in Fruita Co last year and returned this year. It was as accommodating as the last visit and I was really happy with my entire experience. I was there for a week and the price was right, the room was nice and clean, the breakfast room assortment was good and it was all done on line, check in and check out and door code supplied by text to my phone. Thanks to the folks who make it happen.

This motel is remodeled and very clean, the price is low and reasonable and the family that runs it lives on site. The place is not fancy and not a hotel you hangout at for the day. It is a safe, clean and nice place to get a nights sleep and prepare for the start of the next day. I had a king bed, quite comfortable and the room had a table and three basic chairs. A great working and decent size frig plus a microwave are handy, as are the bedside stands with outlets to recharge phones etc. No closets or dressers, but wall hooks and a built-in to lay the suitcase on. Wall unit for both heat and A/C, easy to use and works fine, plus a ceiling fan. Bathroom is also remodeled and nice and clean, has a tub/shower with good pressure and temps. The room has a wall tv, which I didn’t use, but the wi-fi is free and works great! Free help yourself breakfast room on the second floor, 7 - 10 am, I think, coffee, water, hot tea, cereal, yogurt, packaged pastries, energy bars and that sort of thing. The motel is located near the highway and railroad tracks so you will hear train whistle sometimes, but to me it was no bother at all. Close to downtown Fruita, one to four blocks for a Walgreens, City Market, gas station convenience store, fast food and coffee shops, restaurants and pubs. Most people I saw at the motel were here for hiking and biking the mountain trails. For me it was excellent and will be glad to return.

Went for the Rim Rock Matathon and it was the perfect location! Chic, modern, well designed. Very comfortable beds! Clean room and hot water! Excellent breakfast area with a better breakfast than i get at other hotels! Friendly staff!!! Would absolutely stay here again when we come back next summer! Absolutely five stars!!!!!
