Only a mile or so from Downtown Salida, I think it’s less than 1.5 miles. It’s a no frills budget option but clean and safe. We did a last minute trip to Mt Princeton Hot Springs and the price was great so we booked it. Buena Vista is closer but the prices reflect that convenience.

Great For MTB Bro’s Just Looking For A Crash Pad

Does the job for some MTB bros from out of town needing a place to crash for a night. Only place last minute that had three beds (King & Two queens) i.e. a family suite. Older place, on the outside, old furniture on the inside. Beds were very firm, pillows very firm. Lots of towels were already provided. Motel style is great for bringing bikes into the room. Lots of road noise. Has a pool and sauna we didn’t use. But, hey, you get what you paid for.

It is an older family run hotel. Clean but dated. We had a room with 2 queens beds in with a wall that had a cutout window (different). Bathroom was clean but a weird layout. I shopped around for best price in town and they were it so my expectations were not the highest so I would say good price for the money.

Room is spacious, very clean, nicely decorated, and has what looks like fairly new carpet! Definitely a Mom and Pop operation. Very sweet welcome and blessing posted next to the door. Don't see that at a Hampton Inn or Motel 6!

On the main St so getting around was easy. Room was excellent. As a couple with phones, oxygen, and 2 cpap machines we were pleasantly surprised​ to find many surge protectors, so plugging in was easy.

Room was close to the free trolley which will take you shopping area downtown and the Stanley Hoel. Room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Entrance to the hotel could be better marked.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The pool was a bonus, warm and relaxing, not cold like most hotel pools. It’s a not in the downtown area. I chose this hotel because it is a short walk to a coffee shop, a brewery, and the Hot Springs Aqua Center.

We got a suite at the end of the 2nd floor and the traffic noise woke my family up several times thoughout the night. I realize that was not entirely the motels fault. Unfortunately the room was not very clean The tub could us a good cleaning. There was ring left in the tub from the previous guests, soap scum on the wall and hair on the floor. Housekeeping had also left a dirty towel in the top of the closet.
