Neat little motor lodge that's convenient to head out into the hills while still being within walkable distance to downtown Salida. It's older, but it's clean, comfy, and well maintained.

Very clean room with ample space, a full kitchenette, and a great shower and counter space at the sink. We didn't end up using the pool or the sauna given everything else in Salida during the summer. Check-in was easy and the clerks were nice. Would definitely stay here again!
