The location was great, staff were very nice but the towels they had were probably the cheapest and thinest towels that I ever used.

Best Bang for the Buck

The gentleman that checked me in was very pleasant and accommodated my service dog. Not the newest place in town but very clean and I felt safe as a female solo traveler staying there. Great location and for the $ it is well worth it. Have a beautiful indoor pool but only open 3-10 so if you have kiddos that may be a negative. For me it was a perfect place along my travels.

Great trip

Room was clean, staff helpful, but the beds need to be upgraded badly. I would have given perfect all the way around, but the beds took that away.

Needs Updating

The Great Western is a dated motel that is in a good location on Rt. 50 in Salida. The room was clean, but the decor needed to be updated. The space was ample for two people, but the soundproofing between rooms was poor. The staff was friendly, but this did not offset the dated and somewhat rundown condition of the property.

Cute and quiet and cozy place, felt like a little like staying in a family members cabin. Cable had lots of good tv channel options, bathroom shower head was great in my opinion, perfect water pressure and temp, and there was an awesome Mexican restaurant right across the street.

This isn't a bad place. But it's kind of noisy and always has construction going on. The room is good but the motel doesn't look that good because of that. I'll stay there again.
