My boyfriend and I stay in Salida on a regular basis and are constantly trying different motels. We were going up for his birthday for a Wednesday/Thursday night stay. The front desk manager was incredibly accommodating - far and away the nicest hotel staff member I've met. The rate was great ($43+tax/nt) and when I asked if there was an in room refrigerator, he said "no" but said he could arrange for us to use his fridge if it was an issue, which was so sweet.

However, the actual accommodations were not great. The bed was okay, but the sheets had light stains and the pillows were atrocious. Also the walls are *very* thin. On one side of us we had a woman who talked on her cell phone all night and we could hear both sides of the conversation and got up at 5:30am both mornings we were there and the other a family that watched action films all night. Not very restful.

There was a coffee machine in the room, but no refrigerator or microwave, which is disappointing. As for other amenities - the jacuzzi and indoor pool are great and there is a light continental breakfast in the morning.

So - the staff is great, but if you have any desire to hang out in your hotel room and relax or sleep in, this is not the place for you.
