Excellently managed by Terry and her better half, this lodge is a hidden gem. The rooms are reasonably priced and are are renovated just about 18 months back. The room was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and our overall stay was great!!! Thank you so much, Terry!!!

Such a cool room! Check in and out was super convenient, the staff sent the instructions ahead of time. So when we arrived around midnight, there was no issue and the staff didn't have to wait up for us. We wish we had more time in this place, it was pretty cool! Beautiful scenery all around, too.

This place was a pleasant surprise. I was looking for some place between the Great Sands National Park and Mesa Verde, but didn't want to drive in the dark to Durango. I decided to take a chance with Spruce Lodge. Glad I did. The owners are very pleasant. While the buildings were built years ago, the bathroom has been very nicely remodeled. The motel is adjacent (set back) to the highway. I was worried about the traffic, but the noise was less intrusive than being in a city. Plus, ear plugs were provided although we didn't use them. We did use the coffee machine and ate the snacks.
