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.

Bad Mattress in Good Room

Mattress seems played out (Really no support), particularly when paying +$100/night PLUS $20 pet fee. Room was clean and otherwise in good condition. I appreciate an extension cord with lots of plugs.

Nice Retro Motel

Nice place. Retro. Old fashioned in a good way, with '50s decor.

Old dated sketchy stay

Old school motel. Remodeling attempts are pretty sad. Early af checkout. Sketchy employees. Would not recommend. Plenty of better places in town.

Minimal is fine, but dirty is not ok!

My brother and I recently stayed one night after a camping trip in the mountains, and didn't need or expect anything 'fancy' from this motel. But, I expect the room to be clean. The floor was dirty, my bed spread had a burn hole in it, the bathroom had a dirty/stained shower liner and there were spots on the ceiling--not sure what they were. The refrigerator barely kept our leftovers cold (we had to set it to 5--the highest) and the door outside had damage, like someone tried to peel part of it off. I WILL NOT be staying there again.

The theme and decor of the motel is retro and very cute. Very affordable pricing, which is the main reason we picked this motel. The staff we dealt with was nice and friendly. The room wasn't huge but it worked for our needs. Had all necessary amenities in the room. The bed was ok, we always struggle finding a hotel/motel with a bed comfortable enough for us, but it wasn't terrible.

Meh

Had to book last minute for 1 night during labor day weekend. Staff was friendly and helpful but the room did not meet expectations. Two lights and the air conditioner were not working, dead bugs on towels, and when we arrived there was 4 inches of standing water in the bath tub that would not drain. I've stayed in various other hotels when I've visited Salida and there are better options that allow pets for the same price.
