If your staying in Salida and looking for a clean roadside motel this is the place. The room was very clean and updated and the staff was great with checkin. Made the process like it used to be. I would definitely stay again.

Price was super. Room was very plain, but it was clean, and had a good TV, AC, and fridge. The walls were stark white, not the greatest color. Would stay there again.

I enjoyed my stay here. It's a cute 50's style motel with fun pops of color. Not high end by any means, but a nice place to rest my head. I tried to check in a mere 15 minutes early after a long drive from Vail, and was turned away until official check in time. Kind of disappointing. Parts of the room could use a little attention, but overall it was good.

Listen, this is a 65 dollar a night motel. If you want all the perks by all means go stay at a 200 dollar a night motel. It was clean, the frig, microwave, TV, AC, heat, coffee maker, ice maker , shower and all the lights worked. And most of all the hot tub was great. I stay here every year for a week in April. Go stay.
