I have stayed here several times, it is my go-to hotel when staying in Salida. They are older, but mostly well maintained. This makes them usually less expensive than other hotels in town. Everything you need though, and the staff has always been great

The room was a bit outdated but, for the price it was certainly acceptable. It was clean and it was nice to get into the room and find there were two queen sized beds rather than just one. The gentleman who checked me in was very nice and helpful.
