Bad Mattress in Good Room

Mattress seems played out (Really no support), particularly when paying +$100/night PLUS $20 pet fee. Room was clean and otherwise in good condition. I appreciate an extension cord with lots of plugs.

Old dated sketchy stay

Old school motel. Remodeling attempts are pretty sad. Early af checkout. Sketchy employees. Would not recommend. Plenty of better places in town.

Minimal is fine, but dirty is not ok!

My brother and I recently stayed one night after a camping trip in the mountains, and didn't need or expect anything 'fancy' from this motel. But, I expect the room to be clean. The floor was dirty, my bed spread had a burn hole in it, the bathroom had a dirty/stained shower liner and there were spots on the ceiling--not sure what they were. The refrigerator barely kept our leftovers cold (we had to set it to 5--the highest) and the door outside had damage, like someone tried to peel part of it off. I WILL NOT be staying there again.

The theme and decor of the motel is retro and very cute. Very affordable pricing, which is the main reason we picked this motel. The staff we dealt with was nice and friendly. The room wasn't huge but it worked for our needs. Had all necessary amenities in the room. The bed was ok, we always struggle finding a hotel/motel with a bed comfortable enough for us, but it wasn't terrible.

Meh

Had to book last minute for 1 night during labor day weekend. Staff was friendly and helpful but the room did not meet expectations. Two lights and the air conditioner were not working, dead bugs on towels, and when we arrived there was 4 inches of standing water in the bath tub that would not drain. I've stayed in various other hotels when I've visited Salida and there are better options that allow pets for the same price.

We stayed for 3 nights recently. The room was clean, has a small fridge, microwave, and Keurig-type coffee maker. From a maintenance perspective, room 5 was in rough shape; see pictures. Needs to have some maintenance done. The AC was loud but worked well. Overall just okay.
