It was a fantastic stay, the staff is very professional, the area is incredibly quiet, the beds were clean and parking is more than abundant. The office is the building in the middle, it's the only thing that confused me a little as I expected it to be a restaurant. The pool has been down for a while but it wasn't on my list of needs for the hotel so I personally wasn't worried about it
If you need a quiet, clean place to stay, this is it.

I love staying at the La Junta Inn. The rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, it’s very quiet and the staff is always friendly. It’s my go-to hotel in the area. On a side note, another reason I love staying there is because my Grandfather built it. 💙

The staff was incredibly friendly and that was the high point of the hotel. The trash wasn't emptied prior to me entering the room and the bathroom outlets did not work. In the morning it was a bagged breakfast sandwich that you eat in your room. I was looking forward to the hot tub that of course was closed due to repairs.
