Fun little place to stay while in Salida with my son, staying for a week - easy in and out, safe, staff is responsive and kind. Great to have microwave and fridge for quick prep for leftovers. Easy access to downtown, the city pool, food and trails.

All the basic conveniences, but paint peeling in shower area, very noisy ac unit and poor visibility at night as sign not lit. Nice fluffy pillows and bulk supply of soap, conditioner and shampoo.

We have stayed here 2 yr in a row. The lack of ice machine is the only thing to complain about. It's always clean, walking distance to coffee shop, restaraunt, etc. Not but 2 mi from Safeway. We like staying here.

Rooms were trashy, need a lot of work. A/C was noisy. They don't really have your typical bed, just an easy haul-away mattress spring and a very uncomfortable bed. Shame on Expedia for saying this room was fairly good.

I have stayed here before, and it's a cool place, but it needs a good sprucing up. Not sure I would go back until they get this done -- there are other options in the area. No breakfast, the hot tub area needs to be cleaned up, and it needs some TLC.

Great little place.
Hey this was a quirky little hotel in Salida Co. Bare bones and 65 dollars a night. So you get a 65 dollar hotel. Shower, King bed and a great TV. And a outdoor hot tub! Clean place and friendly people. 4 nights.

Dirty bathroom and a used rake in the bathroom.
There is a lack of maintenance in the place.
