Super cute, retro and fun. The beds were so comfortable and very clean all around.

Candy at check in. Convenient location
No early check in, advertised as suite but very small. Rack for coat and clothes in bathroom? Broken vertical blinds which allowed light into room from parking lot and door entry. Could use black out curtains. Breakfast was grab and go starting at 8am, way too late. No coffee other than in room and then only 2 cups. Cute theme and decorations, but not worth the $120/night I paid.

Classic, decorated so cute and the cleanest place I have ever seen.
WiFi was so-so, and TV show selection was sub par
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2026
Location: The location right off of Highway 50 is handy to get to Monarch Mountain or to downtown Salida. It's about a 45-minute walk to downtown Salida, and you can cut down Holman to get to the Monarch Spur Trail to make your walk much more pleasant.
Clean: The room was super clean, especially the bathroom, which had been recently renovated/painted and was spotless.
Disappointing Breakfast: I was disappointed in the "grab and go breakfast", which was really just gas station pre-packaged snacks. Having some fresh fruit (apples, oranges, bananas) and hardboiled eggs would have made the breakfast so much better. Also having the coffee available longer than the short window (like, 7am-10am?) would have been nice.
Smart TV & Wi-Fi was lacking: The room has a smart TV but no way to get local channels. So unless you have a Peacock subscription, you cannot watch the Olympics. The Wi-Fi was also horrendous, making watching the Smart TV nearly impossible, as it kept struggling with the connection.
Thin Walls: The walls to the room were paper thin and we could hear every word from our neighbors, and although there were many vacancies the weekend we visited, we had occupants on both sides of us. (Thankfully people were mostly respectful during sleeping hours.)
No Hot Tub: The lack of a hot tub was a real bummer, as most motels along this stretch have that amenity.
Cold Bathroom: Finally, the bathroom was freeeezing, as there is no heat in that room. There was a knob on the wall that seemed it was supposed to control a heat light in the ceiling or heated floors but did nothing when turned.
