If you are planning a ski trip to Monarch and looking for an economical place to stay, my husband and I heartily recommend the Salida Super 8. We stayed there last season, and have spent 2 week-long stays there this season. We've been really pleased with the accomodations & service each time. The location is very handy - just a half hour drive to the mountain or to the Mt. Princeton hot springs, and only five minutes to the downtown shops and restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There's an indoor pool and hot tub, as well as 2 out-door hot tubs, that are clean and well-maintained. Even more important to us is the laid back, friendly atmosphere. From the managers right thru to the housekeeping and maintenance crew, everyone we've come into contact with has been consistently pleasant and helpful.
