At Best Western Turquoise Inn & Suites, reviews describe an older, budget‑friendly property with notably welcoming staff and a generally satisfactory free breakfast, but also highlight uneven upkeep and reliability issues that lead to mixed experiences between visits.

Many guests appreciate the convenient location for Mesa Verde and town amenities, as well as roomy suites and comfortable beds.

Advertised swimming pools. The outside pool was empty and a disaster. Didn't look like anybody was working on it. Inside pool had water in it but was closed. It probably stays that way. The floors in the room were filthy. I go barefoot in my feet turn black.

We stayed here last minute with several families. The rooms were great and the bathrooms had been updated and were very new. Breakfast was good. Pool was closed for the winter (understandable) and the hot tub was also closed because of damage. Front desk was friendly and we didn't have any issues.

This is an aging motel that desperately needs a facility upgrade. The pool & hot tub were in repair; date unknown when it’d be available to guests. Then during our 2nd day/night, NO hot water available apparently to our room but not the whole motel. The staff have been pleasant and helpful. But the facility is a handicap for them.

I love that the room floors are linoleum, rather than carpet! The suite size was wonderful! Misty at the front desk was extremely helpful. Biggest negative is that there are no elevators and it was difficult for us to bring our bags and cooler up the stairs. Also the refrigerator was not working, but Misty fixed it. (It was unplugged in a cupboard after being defrosted.)

Brother phone worked. One had sticky coffee all over it . I called front desk on my cell and was out on hold 15 minutes. Twice. . The bed was horrible. The pool was filthy. Green, you could see trash and particles floating on it. You could see where it was wiped the last time it was cleaned. It had moss. Really gross and I got this hotel for the pool. It was really gross.

The property is showing its age. I booked in April, and it’s my fault I didn’t check back before my trip. I specifically wanted a property with a pool, but the pool is closed at this time. It’s not even filled up. We liked the breakfast and spacious room. The staff was friendly. The area outside the rooms was dirty and could use attention.

The pool and spa were being rehabilitated and not available. If we knew we would’ve booked elsewhere. Signs of wear/tear - cracked sink, scratched floors, squeaky shower, brown lawn, featured fountain not working. Service was helpful and breakfast was good.

The room was nicely redone. Unfortunately we found rodent droppings under the counter when my husband accidentally dropped his key card and went to pick it up. Otherwise we wouldn’t have known about it. There were 3 propane grill tanks in the courtyard. We didn’t know if they were empty or not which made us feel unsafe. The outside was run down but with the way the rooms looked I believe they were waiting for the summer to fix up the outside and courtyard. There were some sketchy people across the street from the hotel that my husband didn’t like cause we have a fairly nice vehicle and he was concerned that they may try to come and mess with our vehicle at night.

When we arrived, we learned that the pool (featured in the Hotels.com description) was closed due to an ongoing maintenance problem. We went to our room and discovered the floors had not been vacuumed and the bedding was not fresh--pubic hairs on the sheets. A large mirror was cracked in several places--a safety hazard. We complained to the manager and she admitted that there were serious issues with housekeeping. She offered a full refund if we wanted to find other lodging. By this time it was late and we didn't expect we'd be able to find anything. She, however, went above and beyond and called the manager at a competitor hotel to see if she could accommodate us. We were not expecting that! The property gets a rating of 1; the manager deserves a 10+ and a better facility to manage.

The place was fine but checking in was terrible. We had a reservation which the girl at the desk was able to find and confirm but she couldn’t process the payment. She said it wasn’t our card but an issue with the third party provider but couldn’t elaborate other than their card wouldn’t work. We were asked to step out of line and contact the 3rd party provider (TPP). We did this via chat but felt that wasn’t our job. When they called her to resolve the issue, she had people in line so she asked the TPP to call back in 10 minutes. She checked all those other people in then said she’d help us and asked if we contacted them. We said yes and called her out for asking the TPP rep to call back. She asked what I wanted her to do and I advised “Solve the problem and let us go to our room.” Without talking to anyone the issue magically cleared up. We will not stop there again. Terrible customer service!

Hotel was fine for our needs for visiting Mesa Verde NP. Although we’d booked this property about 5 months before we arrived, on check in we were informed that the one we’d booked wasn’t available so they put us into another room. The one we were put in was possibly better than the one we’d originally booked fortunately but couldn’t understand why we hadn’t got what we’d booked anyway seeing as it was so far in advance. The girl on the front desk didn’t seem like she could be bothered anyway to give much of an explanation. Plenty of free parking. The free breakfast the next morning was good enough to give a good start to the day as well.

Location on the main drag and across from a supermarket with gas station was super convenient.
