This hotel is a great value. I've stayed here a few times over the last year, and the rooms are very clean with good linens and towels, and it is quiet.

Good Basic Motel

Good basic older updated motel, clean room, comfortable, microwave and refrigerator. Very busy night of stay so parking was tight but available, just not in front of room. Overall, good quality for the price. No breakfast, but that is typical for most Salida motels.

Strong cleaner smell

Decent place. My only real complaint is the strong fabuloso (or similar scented cleaner) in the room. Overpowering odors like this are never associated with true cleanliness, but covering something up.
