Best Western Movie Manor – Monte Vista, CO

The Best Western Movie Manor in Monte Vista, Colorado is a unique hotel that provides much more than the typical cookie-cutter lodgings. Combining an outdoor drive-in theatre with clean, spacious hotel rooms, the Best Western Movie Manor provides the ultimate vacation, weekend getaway, or night out for families and travelers.

Opened as the Star Drive-In in 1955, it wasn’t until 1964 when the drive-in’s owner, George Kelloff Sr. recognized the untapped potential for the space and added 14 hotel rooms. Guests were able to watch films from their room without ever stepping foot outside, while visitors only there for the film could watch from their cars. Today, the hotel offers a similar setup.

3-Star Hotel Accommodations
