We stayed at this motel because of the cool retro vibes from the website and accompanying reviews from Google, etc… while the photos remained relatively true to their word, the overall feel of the motel was a little lacking unfortunately. 
Upon check in we had issues with our credit card and ended up with a couple of charges that were luckily resolved before they were officially posted to our card. To the credit of the staff checking us in, they did try to help but they were limited in what they could do. 
The room, although decorated appropriately, had an initial smell to it as we entered it. Musty and moldy. We were very disappointed to say the least. We ended up purchasing some baking soda boxes and some air fresheners to help with the smell. Although it helped a bit, the overall smell would not go away. Perhaps asking you staff the leave the small bathroom window open might help a bit to keep some air circulation going. The carpet was stained a bit in some areas, but the overall noise wasn’t terrible, but we weren’t super close to the road. We didn’t have the chance to try to grab and go breakfast as we had a number of early mornings to hit the road. 
As some reviews indicated, the internet is horribly slow so please be aware of that. Though I don’t think it would be fair to rate this place solely on its internet speed. 
So much more can and should be done to upkeep this motel and hopefully give it a better rating. For those who complain about the rules and ensuing poor service, I do suggest you read their rules first before booking. We gave ourselves plenty of time and planned appropriately to make sure we didn’t have any issues. 
All in all, it was a place to stay and crash for the night. Not the worst place we been to, but has some potential to be better.

Not as expected

Choose other lodging in Salida!  Check-in process is a concern.  Welcome email asks you to check-in via a drive-thru window which is odd behavior.  This business scans a copy of your driver's license which is completely unacceptable in our current world of continual software breaches.  I felt like the drive-in check-in process attempts to hide this practice.  A bargain hotel in Salida Colorado has no justifiable reason for retaining an image of your ID.  This practice is an unnecessary intrusion into your personal information and adds risk to the data leakage of your personal information.

Shady check-in

The motel is well located, although you have to drive to go in Salida downtown (4-5 minutes). It was super clean, well decorated and surrounded by moutains. It was quiet, well equiped and easy to park. We were satisfied with our choice. But nothing fancy here, it is a motel not a 5stars hotel.

This property was really cute and I loved the parking right out front of our room. I felt like it was a really good deal for the price,great location,beds were comfortable, it was quiet and very clean. If you book here just make sure your read all the information they send you. The only issue we came across was when we needed more towels and didn't realize that you can only get them at a certain time, my fault for not reading the info better! Grab and go breakfast items were minimal but worked and was appreciated. For the price this is a great place to stay and I highly recommend it!!

I will always stay here when I go to Salida

Horrible experience.  Go elsewhere!  We got a call at 10:06 am stating I needed to come to the office.  I came to the office at 10:30 and there soy boy dude front desk guy said “you need to sign this”.  It was an additional charge of $176!!!  I told him I’m not signing as we were leaving.  The vehicle was already packed and ready to go.  He said “if you don’t sign I’m going to call the cops”!  I was floored!!!  I didn’t sign so they started yelling telling me they were calling the police as they were going to you’re my camper.   Worst customer service ever!  Ever!  There’s a reason this place has such horrible reviews.  They are absolutely terrible!  Don’t go here!  There’s plenty of other great hotels like The Woodland. These people should not be in business.

Avoid at all costs!!!  Terrible!

The hotel is cute and nice touches but the air conditioner made noise the whole night!

Noisy

Well done, older hotel done retro…. Perfect. Rooms are comfy and clean, good price.

A very cute place today. Renovated with a modern flair, this property was very clean, safe and easy to find. Good value for your money.

In all my 55+ years, never has any hotel been so aggressive about check out. I was not going to write a review until we received a hostile text regarding check-out. Hotel room was fine. Location is fine. No amenities at the hotel, no personal experience. An earlier than average check out (10am) time that was accompanied by literal threats about being as much as a minute late or a full additional night would be automatically charged is too much, tho. Hotel was not even half full, and my daughter was panicked that we would be out of the parking lot by 10am flat. Talking about feeling unwelcome. Borderline outrageous. Definitely not coming back after that text.
