When we first checked in there was someone smoking inches from our door. The smell lasted the rest of the night. Front desk staff said that nothing could be done because the marijuana shop is next door. The room was not great (towels dirty, shower had hair, floors had sticky gunk, could hear all the conversations with rooms next door etc). I guess you get what you paid for, but for us it wasn’t worth the money at all.

A comfortable place to sleep for a reasonable amount of money. It was clean, had good towels and a fridge. On the downside, when I first opened the door to the room, the smell of bleach was almost overwhelming! I had to open the door all the way, along with the bathroom window to get a cross breeze and air the room out. Also, one hinge on the front door was coming loose as it had lost some screws; lastly, there was no toilet paper holder, so the roll had to just sit on the window sill to make it accessible.

The walls were paper thin. I could hear every word spoken by the neighbors on both sides. One of the neighbors was arguing with family all night and all morning. The shower is in working condition however it's not installed well. It's very makeshift. I did not want to use it. The shower floor was warped very bad as well.

Cheap and cheerful!

Usually the cheapest place in Salida and it is good value for money. My main criticism is that the room we were given has a connecting door to the adjoining one which is great if you're next to friends or family, but not good if you're next to a noisy guest because you'll hear everything going on next door!

Rooms are not as it shown in images, no proper AC didnt find AC itself, bathroom vent can be opened from outside i have to check every window and door twice. Room floor is dirty & Kind of smelly my friend cant even sleep because of that smell. May be a good property if AC is turned on before hand.

The bed was good and the shower was hot with some nice amenities like a microwave and mini fridge although they blocked the closet. BUT there was no heat in the room except for a space heater that blew the circuit. It is a very old property with poorly insulated doors and windows. No curtain for the bathroom window so very bright in the morning and that light filled the room even with the bathroom door closed. No one answered the phone until the next day. There is a reason it is the cheapest in town....
