Amazing!! What a sweet throw back motel experience with all the modern convenience's!! From the time you check in it’s welcoming and friendly! Clean and updated, comfortable beds, nice little bathroom with good shower and soft towels!! Nice touches like free candy selection at front counter and even have a separate little snack room with ice and water, coffee, tea, microwave and little free breakfast treats! Just an amazing little place, …great feel and so different than just a normal chain hotel…truly an experience!! Will be back anytime I stay in Salida!

The room was clean and so fun with its retro look. The playground spot, grill and outdoor lounge area was a great touch. Bed and linens were terrific. The breakfast was only pre-packaged muffins and other similar prepackaged bars snacks along with coffee and available 8am-9am so you were out of luck if you needed to leave early. Overall a fun experience.

Room was nice with parking immediately outside the door in a safe area. Room was good size, bathroom was very nice with large vanity area. Only complaint was the internet was so slow, it was practical useless. Websites would not load, or would stop loading. Very frustrating.

Nice clean room, but basically no daily maid service. You have to go exchange your dirty towels yourself, and they don’t replenish your coffee pods. There is a snack room open in the morning with coffee, juice and snacks.

Clean and tidy. Cute little room. The only suggestions I have for improve is to add nightstands. I've neve stayed in a place that didn't have at least one. Very awkward not having a place besides the floor to sit things like phone, glasses, tv remote etc.
