We took a youth group from Texas to Colorado for our first ski trip. While there we encountered many challenges due to blizzards that hit Salida, impacting our ability to travel and get to the ski area.
The staff, management and owner of the Super 8 in Salida could not have been more helpful. They went out of our way to make our stay comfortable. The staff gave us personal attention that helped us get our young people to the ski area in spite of travel restrictions we couldn't meet. When we had to stay an extra day they went out of their way to help us keep our rooms and even found a way for us to eat lunch with a ministry for free. (Many of our young people ran out of money due to the unexpected extra day.) The staff printed reports of road conditions, not just for Colorado, but for our whole route.
Our whole group loved the breakfasts and thought it was an extra treat to come back each afternoon to freshly made, wonderful tasting hot chocolate.
The rooms were nice and housekeeping was very patient with rooms made very messy by young people. The only downside was that the bathrooms could be updated and we had to manage when we took showers due to hot water limitations. But none of that put a damper on the experience for any one in our group.
I have had the opportunity to travel to many places, from budget to four-star hotels, over the years and this was the best overall experience I've had. I would, and have, recommend Super 8 in Salida regardless of when you plan to travel to Colorado. They were awesome!!!!
