We were pleasantly surprised! The rooms are clean and the most comfortable bed we have ever stayed in at a hotel! They have everything you could need in your room including coffee, mini refrigerator, microwave, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and even snack for the humans and a treat for a pet! The continental breakfast area is clean, well stocked, and staffed by the most friendly people ! We did not get to take advantage of the hot tub or sauna, but love that it was available! The hotel is only 4 minutes from downtown and has a beautiful view of the mountains. We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Salida!

This is basically a typical, roadside motel--except it is a very nice one compared to the usual somewhat shabby presentation. The place was very clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The facilities have been nicely upgraded with all pretty new finishes. The location is very convenient with highway access but close to downtown center. I was pleased to be there whereas typical roadside hotels are never pleasing! Keep it up.

The house keeper forgot to refill the soap in shower. All I got was one squirt. That was the only disappointment.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! Our room was large and comfortable with a toilet + shower and mini-fridge. The bed was incredibly comfortable and luxurious and we slept like babies! We brought our two dogs to the property and the room was more than spacious enough to hold their two kennels, our bags, and still allow us to move comfortably around the room. Staff at the property adorably left a bag of mini milkbone treats and doggy waste bags that our pups (and we) greatly appreciated! We woke up around 9:00am the next morning and walked over to check out breakfast. It was a generous spread of pancakes, biscuits and gravy, cereals, juice, and coffee. Parking was ample and while there was some highway noise, it was not disruptive or intrusive. We loved this property and will be back!

Nothing

The crew have obviously worked hard, and paid attention to detail to create an independent motel that is affordable, clean, and very relaxing to vacation in. Things here are just done right, and everyone on the team seems on board with delivering the quality experience… From the staff doing the hard work of cleaning the rooms, to the staff doing the hard work of running the front office, opening up the saunas and Jacuzzis, and everyone just being on board with delivering a little gem of an experience. My wife and I were the first to get to use the new saltwater hot tub room. These little touches make you feel like you’re participating in a thoughtful work of art, not just a corporation’s marketing plan to make more money in the cheapest cookie cutter way possible. The fact that everything was all included is a huge bonus that will bring us back. Believe the reviews; this place is a little gem , and we hope it thrives.

Really, nothing negative comes to mind. I guess, considering the uniqueness of the hotel, I was hoping breakfast would be a little beyond what you would get at a Holiday Inn, but it was clean, free and totally fine and it all works.

The updates are fun and cozy giving this old motel new life. They have done a great job with the details making this place really feel like a lodge. It is a well run property with friendly and helpful staff.

The only issue we had was a slow draining tub but the maintenance person found us and talked to us about it the next morning before we even had to mention anything. (Sounds like he found out about the issue by the time we were already in the room and they are ready to take care of the issue before the next guests arrive). Overall it was not a big issue for us but glad to hear they are on top of things.

They really take pride in the property. We always saw multiple staff out busily working to keep up the property. Staff would always greet you with a smile and “hello.” They have little touches in the rooms that make it comfortable; for example, USB ports on night stand for your phone, keyless code entry for your hotel door, a Netflix account you can use, a wine opener, a really nice reclining chair in the room to watch tv or chill, actual fresh blueberries and freshly baked biscuits at the continental breakfast. It’s just a a great value and it’s obvious the owners have thought about little ways to make it as comfortable as possible for guests at a reasonable price.

Easy check-in & out. Friendly staff, pet friendly tho my pets weren't with me this trip. Good breakfast included, room was updated recently - comfy. Large fridge with freezer and microwave .

The primary thing I didn't care for was that people sat outside their rooms and smoked and when I had my window open to enjoy the cool air that smoke came into my room. I'm quite allergic and so we had to keep our windows closed. Checkout at 11 and Checkin at 3:00 would be more convenient but I don't think I should have to pay for that.

I loved the room! It was clean, fresh, comfortable, spacious etc. It was a little cold, but the electric fire place fixed that quickly. It was just as the pictures represented. Parking was also great. Large spaces, and close to your room.

The main facilities smelled like cigarettes, the breakfast room also smelled like cat? Because this is separate, and was complementary, it was not a big deal and not a deal breaker for me. Especially for the price. We just decided to skip breakfast.

The room was exceptionally clean and there were unexpected amenities. There was a nice little fridge in the room, plenty of linens, a kuerig, and some teas and coffees. The room was also spacious and the staff was quite friendly.

There wasn't much not to like but if I must nitpick, the heater was in the bathroom so I did have to turn that on quite high to get heat in the main room. Not a problem, I just felt a little wasteful. The breakfast was also just okay.

The room, King Suite, was very clean and comfortable. The room was up to date and furnished nicely. We liked the location which is close to the historical downtown. We like the hot tub, which you have to sign up for a 30 minute time slot. The price was very reasonable. The staff at the front desk were very friendly.

We did not care for the breakfast. That is we had experience much better breakfasts during our trip. And I would suggest the owners not talk or question the staff in front of guests in the Garden Room during breakfast.
