This is a fantastic hotel! We loved supporting an independent owner. The staff was pleasant and helpful, there are great hiking trails within 5 mi, the rooms were simple but cleaner than many chain hotels. We will return.

We were very pleased with our room and the very friendly staff. We had not alerted them to the fact that we needed a first floor room because of difficulty on steps for my husband but we were immediately accommodated with a new location for our room. Located on highway 50 with many other hotels, this was a great location for easy access to town and for getting back on 285. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

We were greeted by a clean, fresh smell when first opening the door to our room. That's always a good start. The room was clean, nicely appointed and the beds were comfortable. The large screen TV was state of the art. Brown's Canyon is locally owned and very convenient to F Street which is the heart of downtown Salida. The only downside was no in room coffee service. But the serving bar was around the corner from our room and offered real coffee cups. There was a barking dog in a room that yapped at 6:30 am, but was quickly silenced. The rooms are subject to a lot of "running water" noise as it's an older facility when soundproofing was an after thought. We would stay here again.
