It’s an average stop in a great town. Better options abound for overall quality, I usually stay here because the rooms are generally cheaper.

One of the least expensive places at the time. Typical older motel. Was ok. Bathroom way outdated and had rings in tub from maybe decades of lack of good cleaning. Some mechanical noise in wall all night... And thin walls. Bed was ok

Room was somewhat cute, I.e., retro, but was rather cramped. Sat wooden suitcase rack up and it fell apart. Shower worked great, but bathroom sink fixture was extremely loose. Coffee pot wasn’t plugged in, no great place to set it for operation. Parking was convenient as was check-in & check-out.

Ok if you’re passing through

It’s not as nice as the pictures would leave you to believe. Rooms are very small. Don’t expect to use the bicycles they claim to have. There are two locked up out front but some guy we asked said they were not operational. One or two nights but anything longer spend the extra money and go across the street to the Comfort Inn.

Look I don’t really want to bash this place as we didn’t expect a lot. we just happened to choose a weekend in Salida when there was a big festival in the area. You can tell the owners are trying to update the place but there’s still a lot of work to do. The grounds have junk piles next to the buildings, old TV’s, furniture, etc.. The hot tub is in the middle of the parking lot where the pictures make it appear to be a nice little spot. The TV in our room didn’t work, the AC/heating unit appears to be original from maybe the 40’s or 50’s, whenever the place was built. The bed was one of the most uncomfortable ones we’ve ever slept in. Again I feel horrible writing this because I know they’re a small business and trying hard to make it work. They just need more time to finish their remodeling and upgrades.
