What a great little find! I was passing through town on business and was really shocked to find how overpriced many of the small motels were, (not unusual for Colorado). Anyway the Mountain Motel just "looked cute" to me so after calling several others and being quoted rates as high as $90, I chose to stay here at $49. The room is quite large and very clean, nicely decorated. There is a mini fridge and micro wave and a small coffee maker. I had a great sleep although the bed was a bit too soft for my taste. The was a little noise from the unstairs room but not much. Across the street is an excellent Mexican Restaruant. The owner was very nice and extremely accommodating at check in. If I ever have to come this way again, I'll be sure to stay here!

The owners are wonderful and couldn't be more accommodating, and the rates are very reasonable for summer rates in Salida. The cabins are definitely just that - cabins. Don't expect high-end furnishings or linens. The rooms are clean and have a small kitchen and are perfect if you travel with dogs - not a lot of choices in town for pets.
