Ok
It was you would would expect for $60 I guess. Door was difficult to deadbolt - very old. Oil heater so had to get up to adjust through the night.

Clean and comfortable.
Quiet, clean, not great area for walking dog: walked in neighborhoods behind hotel, couldn't get TV to work and not sure why: have had that issue in Salida at other hotels. Cute retro hotel. No breakfast served.

This place is the definition of a “no frills” motel. It’s a bed and a roof over your head. Staff was friendly. Hot tub was nasty. Price was right unlike Browns Canyon Inn across the street who jacks their prices by the minute later in the day. You make the call.

Decent price. Bathroom hadnt been cleaned, but we did reservations online same day, hours before arrival. 3.5 stars. Front desk person was absent. But a lady checked us in anyway. She was polite, kind, and thoughtful. Grateful for a place to stay at a decent price.

This motel is truly a dive. There were bugs crawling on the furniture and there was mold in the bathroom. The floor was dirty enough to make my white socks brown. My neighbor had to ask me to borrow toilet paper at 7:30 am because there was nobody at the front desk.

It's a budget motel -- they've refreshed it to make it a bit more attractive in a retro way, which is kind of nice, but rooms are small and often have issues. Walked in and TV was broken and then tried to switch on the bedside lamp and it wasn't working as well. Room had a mini-split but it didn't seem to achieve much while the AC in the bathroom window did the job. So small it was hard to find room to fit my bike, and the one chair in the room looked retro and cool but wasn't comfortable. However, bed was fine and the room was clean. Shower and bathroom were fine if not great. Saw a Tesla charging at their "gas pumps", which was cool.

The property was old..beat up..moldy..unhealthy...when I checked in they added a 100 dollar hold fee that I was not told of in advance and I had to leave early due to some car trouble and so far have not had the amount returned to my bank account. I could have left in time to have the second nights fee also returned but no deal there . The place is terrible and unethical...I would never recommend it to anyone ever.
