Definitely a step back in time. It has that old school motel feel in the rooms. My only knock is the bathrooms are TINY.

After seeing the pictures and reading the reviews, I was really looking forward to my stay here. And it really lived up to my expectations.
Firstly, the most interesting concept of this hotel - the open movie theater and watching from room was closed for the season but I really didn’t mind it. Although would have loved it.
Coming to the property - it is out there in nowhere. The views and exceptional from anywhere in this property. The rooms are named after Hollywood stars, their names are inscribed on the floor when you are about to enter the lobby.
The room was clean and spacious. No complains. There were few issues - like the hot water was taking time to dispense. But I can ignore that. That’s my personal opinion.
The lobby and breakfast area is beautiful as well. The breakfast was really nice. This time being off season for the area wasn’t crowded at all and there were very few guests. The host served us hot cheese omelettes and sausages when we asked him for refill. That was really a grand gesture. 5 star for the service.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting this area or the Great Sand Dunes national park.

I come to Monte Vista to work quite a bit and I always stay at the movie Manor. I stay in a lot of different hotels, and I would say this is one of the cleanest and comfortable rooms I have stayed in always clean and smells clean!!! The staff here is always kind and polite and always wants to help in any way shape or form. I definitely recommend this hotel!!!!!

We thought this place had a movie view of the mountains, sweeping vistas out of a picture window but it was a drive-in movie theater and probably would have been a lot of fun if the movies were running but it was October and it was done.

Okay, so when we first pulled up to the Best Western Movie Manor, we looked at each other like, “Did we just drive onto a movie set for a 1970s thriller?” 😂 We’re usually Hilton/Marriott people, so the vibe at first was a little Twilight Zone. But then… we checked in. And let me tell you — this place totally won us over!
Our room was spotless, the bed was crazy comfortable, and once we settled in, we realized how cool it actually is to literally watch a drive-in movie from your hotel room window. Where else can you do that?! The staff was super friendly, the stay was peaceful, and by morning we were both laughing at how skeptical we’d been.
Moral of the story: don’t judge a hotel by its parking lot — this quirky gem was one of the best surprises of our trip. Would 100% stay again (and bring popcorn next time 🍿)
