    so cute so simple
    Skadi M.

    I rolled in the town around five p m and went into the lobby to see if they had any rooms (no reservation) and they had a room for me! Everything is super cute, kind of vintage pink and teal. The fellow at the desk that checked me in was super polite, super nice. And i'm gonna say my two favorite things were that they had toiletries in the bathroom, so you don't have to worry about remembering your own shampoo or lotion!! . And also the sheets were super awesome and soft and felt different than the regular big hotels. And it was in my price range!! 10/10 will visit again.

    Stayed at the Circle R Motel this past weekend for a night with my husband and while the price for this accommodation is extremely reasonable, I would describe it as a place to sleep and that's about it. It's conveniently located close to trails, the lovely historic downtown and plenty of restaurant options. Check in was quick and easy and parking is no issue in the main lot. All the doors have keypad entry with the door code and WiFi password written down on a card that you return once you've finished your stay. When we first entered our room, it had a strong chemical smell of bleach or chlorine that wouldn't go away unless the windows were opened, but would come back just as strong once the windows were closed again. The room itself looked clean on the surface level, but the shower was a bit scary with some parts of the grout appearing black and the toilet seat had chips in the enamel. The in room Keurig coffee machine was dirty like it had never been cleaned. The hand soap and shower products were good. There was no screen on the bathroom window. The bed was comfortable with very non supportive pillows. My husband and I carry travel sheets as a personal preference when traveling, so I can't speak to how the bedsheets were but they seemed average. All in all, Circle R is a place to sleep with a beautiful mountain view and located in a great spot to explore all that Salida has to offer. Not sure if we would book here again, but it worked for a short one night stay.

    They have an old school tandem bike! I love this decor

    I absolutely adore this little retro gem in the middle of salida. Not only is it very affordable, it also is in a pretty central location, making it pretty easy to go anywhere in town with just a simple walk. Bikes are provided as well, HUGE perk! I travel occasionally with an elderly mom, so ground floor levels is also a huge key factor for me. You can park right in front of your room, and no awful stairs for my mom. The staff is very friendly and personable too, and for such an old motel, its in great shape. The hot tub is amazing, right under the stars. If you're not too picky and want to save a lot of money staying here, I recommend this motel.

    Have stayed here many times in the past, but it is definitely a no go any more. DO NOT STAY HERE. The health hazards - mold in the shower, mold in the heater, no functioning heater on a 5 degree night. The fire hazard - space heater plugged into a power strip with a coffee pot, refrigerator and microwave, the frayed wiring The security hazard - coded door locks that are not changed with each guest. So anyone who has used your room can come in anytime. The hot tub which could not be unlocked by the staff, the TV that had white lines through it at all times. The list is huge. The new owners don't seem to care, and no one was interested in helping solve the issues.

    After finding out my usual Airbnb wasn't renting out rooms this year I went on the hunt to find something comfy and affordable in my favorite ski/mountain biking town! After checking around I settled on what looked like a new, recently revamped motel. Really great find! Circle R is like if Old Route 66 and Elon Musk had a baby. Tons of vintage touches mixed with cool technology. Retro gas pumps that are electric charging stations. Mini fridge that looks like it was in my grandma's kitchen. The rooms are small but that doesn't bother me. There's bikes to use, a grill that's available and a hot tub that's on 24/7. The check in was easy and Covid safe. Conveniently located and priced well. My only criticism is the staff said breakfast (grab and go) would be available in the morning and at 7:30am when several guests, along with ourselves were leaving , the office was still closed. Overall, great experience. I think I found my new go-to overnight place in Salida!

    Exceptional family staff, cleanliness, cost for amenities. They have a great breakfast that is…read morebeyond the standard continental. There is a dog walking area and a sauna and hot tub for private reservation use. Would stay again.

    We forgot to book a motel for last weekend's trip to Salida. Crikey, the chains wanted up to $240…read moreper night. No, thanks. Lucky for us, Silver Ridge had a two-queen room at a much lower rate. Whizzing by on US 50, it looks like a run of the mill old motel. Nope. Rooms have been renovated. Ours was clean and looked nice inside. What we liked: Full size fridge/freezer Hot tub: It's reserve-in-advance by room in 30 minute blocks. No smelly tweakers, couples making out, or loud kids to kill the buzz (and enough chemicals to kill all germs). Our roomy shower had thick glass doors, preferable to a curtain. The self-operated pancake machine in the breakfast area was a fave of our kiddos, who could watch the pancake on a conveyor belt. Just ok: Breakfast was hit or miss. Biscuits/gravy were my fave. Pancakes did the trick. Coffee was fine. However, my scrambled egg discs were cold and the sausage patty tasted too weird to eat. Fruit, milk, OJ, and standard Continental fare were included, too. Bonus: The recent model smart tv was loaded with apps, but you have to login with your own credentials. People forgot to log out of Disney, Prime, and Netflix. While we have each of these, it's nice to have access if you don't already have them. The Salida Aquatic Center sits across the road if you want some hot spring-fed waters. Overall, Silver Ridge combines nicer-than-expected accommodations at a lower price than nearby chains while maintaining the intimate feel and personal touch of a local business.
