Best Western Movie Manor: A Unique Motel Experience
The Best Western Movie Manor in Monte Vista, Colorado, is a nearly 60-year-old motel that overlooks a drive-in theater.
Shital Patelia, the owner, moved her family to Monte Vista to buy and run the motel and drive-in theater three years ago.
“People who came here for their honeymoons or their first date revisit us after 40 years, 50 years, 60 years. And they tell you the history,”
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a driveway featuring the names of stars and characters etched into the cement, and each room is named after a star.
- Room 106 is the Robert De Niro room
- Danny DeVito and Cary Grant rooms are located on either side
Guests can watch the night's feature film from the comfort of their own room, with a volume button on the wall and a view of the screen when the curtains are open.
