Check in experience was a hoot, abrupt and sharp but I found it funny. The room was basic but fine for an overnight stay but no longer than that. Great pub next door for food and drinks and Salida is a nice town to visit

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.
