Good Basic Motel

Good basic older updated motel, clean room, comfortable, microwave and refrigerator. Very busy night of stay so parking was tight but available, just not in front of room. Overall, good quality for the price. No breakfast, but that is typical for most Salida motels.

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.

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.
