This is an awesome 'motel' that has been rehabbed. Our room was perfect and balanced the old school feel (cool retro tile in the shower) in a totally redone room. It was spacious, bed was comfy, had a small fridge , microwave and Keurig. Breakfast was a 'continental plus' with eggs, sausage, B&G, Eggo type waffles and a pancake machine. Lots of other typical breakfast choices as well. We were very happy to discover this hidden gem in Salida!!

Salida Inn and Monarch Suites- was half the price of other low to medium motels in the area, including Buena Vista and Leadville as well as Salida. So I expected it to be not so great- but we were pleasantly surprised. I cannot speak for the "Monarch Suites"- they did not look too impressive from the outside- like mini cabins in the parking lot. But we stayed in a regular room at the Inn and it was very nice in every way- clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious, good location, very friendly staff.

The house was absolutely amazing. Away from everything, but close to lots of things to do. We were in town for a wedding and hosted a group of grandparents and aunts and uncles and it had plenty of space. The hot tub was great and the kitchen had everything. Can't think of a single thing I wouldn't give a 5.

The staff was lovely.

Great location and plenty of room. But what impressed me the most was the integrity of the team overseeing this property. I inadvertently left my wedding bands behind (they had gotten pushed out of sight) and I didn’t realize it until we were some hours away. I panicked but each person I spoke to was so reassuring. And sure enough the cleaning team found my jewelry and later I received instructions for how to handle the return delivery. I am so grateful!

The location was great.
