Check in was easy. Room was clean. The AC situation was not good. AC was located in the bathroom window. Room stayed fairly warm all eveningand night. TV was small and overly difficult to work. For the price it was fine.

The flooring is allergen-free. Two beds means 8 pillows so I used them as a pillow topper. Slept great. Front window screen was intact so I opened for cool night air. Felt safe in this area. Wifi was great. Used the nook for a fitness Zoom meeting. The sound machine with birds lifted my mood. The bathtub held water so I enjoyed relaxing before bed. There were plenty of USB and wall outlets. The fridge worked. Mostly the quiet was appreciated. It was a short drive to Anytime Fitness in the morning, before hitting the road again. Thanks!

Thick value Thin mattress

Love the multi colored sign. There’s no missing the motel from the road. Room was large and appointed with conveniences, including a key code entry. Bedding was less than comfortable. Thin mattress and thinner pillows, but for one night, value is ok.

It's ok

This is a very old motel. It isn't the prettiest, but it works. I couldn't get the tv to work in room 8, but I was too tired to care. The walls are a little thin. I could hear the guy next door coming in and out of his place. I also heard the heard vehicles driving up and down the road. I found out the next morning that a few guys were having a mini car show of their "fast and furious" crappy little cars with no mufflers. Thankfully it didn't last all night.

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.

Our room needs better lighting; it was difficult to read. Having the king bed in a small room meant there was no table with chairs, which we would have used and enjoyed.

There literally was no soap to even wash your hands. The coffee maker did not make hot coffee. Tried to speak to a manager at 830am but no one was around. Didn't want to leave a review and wanted to talk with managers but no one was around. Pay a little more somewhere else. Do not recommend and will not be returning.
