Property is run down. Doors were difficult to lock. The gap underneath the main door was 1/2”(big enough for mice). Sink was cracked. Nothing was horrible, but not worth giving more than three stars.

Rooms were trashy, need a lot of work. A/C was noisy. They don't really have your typical bed, just an easy haul-away mattress spring and a very uncomfortable bed. Shame on Expedia for saying this room was fairly good.

Fun little place to stay while in Salida with my son, staying for a week - easy in and out, safe, staff is responsive and kind. Great to have microwave and fridge for quick prep for leftovers. Easy access to downtown, the city pool, food and trails.

We have stayed here 2 yr in a row. The lack of ice machine is the only thing to complain about. It's always clean, walking distance to coffee shop, restaraunt, etc. Not but 2 mi from Safeway. We like staying here.

This quaint little motel has small rooms with no place to put luggage, other than the floor. After seeing a spider on the bathroom floor right after arrival, I was reluctant to leave items on the floor. It was fairly clean. Bed was comfortable. Had to wait for check-in until nearly 4 pm. No one was onsite until 3:30.

I have stayed here before, and it's a cool place, but it needs a good sprucing up. Not sure I would go back until they get this done -- there are other options in the area. No breakfast, the hot tub area needs to be cleaned up, and it needs some TLC.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at Circle R Motel was wonderful. Check in was great, very quick and very nice staff. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms are clean. Free EV charging was a bonus!! I also appreciated that shampoo/conditioner/etc. were provided but in an environmentally-friendly way. Perfect place to rest to fuel our outdoor adventures.
