Wow - Trinity truly went above and beyond to make sure my birthday weekend wasn't ruined (by a bad stay we booked somewhere else in town) This place has so much charm. It was the exact right vibes to celebrate my birthday. All of the details are so thoughtful. The rooms are clean and include a good size 'retro' mini fridge. The A/C kicks for a good, cold sleep. The beds are comfy and pillows are nice. It was a very quiet stay. I really don't have one bad thing to say about this spot. I really can't wait to come back again soon for another delightful stay! :) read more

Stumbled upon the Amigo Motor Lodge while driving down highway 50 in Salida after a bad experience at a nearby stay in Poncha Springs where we left after an hour being there. We were lucky to grab a reservation for the night in one of the rooms, and had a long talk with Trinity at the front desk over everything at the motel. She was so friendly, accommodating, and informative. Come to find out the owners are from Austin, and it definitely gives those type of vibes forsure. I love seeing Texas influences here in Colorado. The whole motel was so well thought of and designed- from the airstreams to the lobby, the outdoor spaces and also the rooms we had everything we needed to have a nice and relaxing stay. It's a 3 minute drive to downtown Salida (pronounced Sa-lie-da as the sign outside states) where all kinds of shops/restaurants/breweries are, but also definitely check out Robins real close to the motel for a great breakfast or lunch spot. WiFi was great, bed was comfy and I got some great rest there. Will definitely book at Amigo Motor Lodge again next time we are in town! They really did such an amazing job renovating the motel in a cool modern type of way with a back home Texas twist to it. read more

My wife and I love coming here. Our dogs do, too! We've stayed here the past two Thanksgiving weekends and will probably continue the tradition next year. Salida's a great little town with plenty to do during the summer and winter months. We've only been during the colder months, but Amigo is a cozy place to shack up. The rooms are appropriately-sized, the beds are comfortable and the wifi is solid. There's a hot tub on site, they offer free coffee in the lobby, as well as reusable bottles of water in the communal refrigerator. They're pup friendly and the sun room is the perfect place to hang out by the fire! Staff are generally friendly and responsive. They have a nice texting feature when you need to check in/check out or request room service. Sometimes they can be a little hard to track down, but it's safe to assume they might be short staffed. Practice patience people! We'd love to stay in the airstreams, but we think it might get a little tight with our dogs. The rooms are comfortable with a sizeable table and chairs to read a book or get work done. Amigo acknowledges how old their plumbing is, so showers sometimes take a while to heat up. Just know before you go. Right off the main drag of State Rd 50, it's only a three minute drive to Salida's little Main St. area along the Arkansas River. Recommend for your next mountain getaway! read more

I was looking for a unique stay on my way back from Santa Fe to Denver, and have always loved Salida and its charm. I came across this renovated motel that also offered Airstreams as an option for respite. I was excited to visit the motor lodge, and had heard great things from friends who had stayed here in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly well-kept and clean the place was, and how inviting the staff was. I stayed in the Pee Wee Airstream, and it was clean, spacious for one person, and so comfortable. I felt completely safe and cozy, and despite their being a shared bathroom for all of the Airstreams, it was never inconvenient during my stay. I didn't have my dog for this trip, but am hoping to make another trip down there with her and would love to stay here again! read more

Hello cutie! This very vibe-heavy establishment is a real gem in an area of mostly run down hotels. Great things: Hella cute -have you SEEN the gram?- Doggo friendly -truly (wo)man's best friend- Great location - about a ten minute drive or less to things of interest/ downtown- Sassy brand image and messaging - obvi, don't pee in the hot tub- The only thing I have a hard time with: The price - paid for a dog friendly airstream but with the detached bathrooms, no snacks of any kind, a pool or toothpaste (I forgot mine) over $100 a night is steep and ensures you'll have to eat out for every single meal during your stay - read more

Fantastic! Really enjoyed our night's stay in Amigo! I saw the Discovery + episode of "Re-Motel" that featured Amigo. While my fiancé and I were planning our Colorado road trip that episode was inspiration enough to add Salida to the list of places on the trip. Glad we did! The town is super cute and dog friendly. Amigo is also dog friendly and it was such a nice touch to have a dog bowl in front of our room upon arrival. Though they do not allow you to leave your dog in the hotel room without you present they have great alternative recommendations like Alpha Dog Care. We didn't end up using them however, we looked into it and they were super nice and helpful. The town of Salida is dog friendly so we ended up bringing our dog with us on our walk through town. There's also a dog park less than 10min away from Amigo that was really big and well kept. Amigo was truly an experience and all the details that went into everything was really cute and fun. Highly recommend! read more

Amigo is just what you expect from their website/insta- good vibes and a simple (but not too simple) stay! If you're like me and wondering all the things, here's what I was wondering and found out during our stay. * each room has a fridge/freezer * the community hot tub is not too often occupied * the tv is just tv, no Netflix/Hulu * the town of salida has sooo much to offer! * a full week at amigo is great & the staff is super nice and accommodating. Coffee, grab & go breakfast, water, & OJ are in the lobby each morning. And the staff is a text away for anything, even food recs which was so great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (we were there for a full week) and will definitely be back! read more

First of all, let me make clear that the Amigo Motor Lodge is not a Rock Resort, but if you are looking for a very clean friendly place with a distinctive charm and an attentive staff( thank you Trinity and Kate!), I couldn't recommend the Amigo any higher. read more

THIS IS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE. This was my second time here and my husband and I decided to try staying in one of the airstreams named "Merle". We loved our time here. Now, your first question might be, "what about a bathroom?" They have a bathroom that's independent of the airstream, only for airstream users. It's not as inconvenient as you'd think. It's super clean, stylish and isn't far from the trailer. My husband and I didn't mind at all. Merle is hardly your average airstream. We loved the layout, the cozy space and comfy bed! The bed, I'm not joking, is ridiculously comfortable. Also - there was a snow storm the night we stayed and we were perfectly warm. There are two heating units in Merle and we were toasty the whole time. Another aspect of Amigo that is great, free Huckleberry coffee offered in the office. You don't have to worry about breakfast because they offer free fruit, yogurt and DELICIOUS coffee to guests. Did I mention...FOR FREE. Honestly, if you're staying in Salida and not staying at Amigo, you're missing out! read more

How have I not reviewed Amigo? I've stayed here at least 4-5 times over the past several years. Better late than never... A very kitschy, comfy, cool overnight stay in Salida. By far the most fun accommodations in the area and incredibly affordable (depending on the season/day of the week, it's about $175/night). Lots of personalized touches in each room that make it feel like someone thought about you before you checked in for the stay. Complimentary breakfast for all guests. Hot tub. Cable TV. It sounds trite but this is all one really needs for a renovated motel. Brings you back to simpler times. read more

Was not impressed with Service. Checked in at 3 and no one was there till 8:00 am to bring me a hair dryer and iron. Their excuse is short staffed. So the customer suffers? If you don't have the staff - don't operate. read more

Last night we were passing through town and our 4-month old child had a complete meltdown. We frantically searched for vacancies at nearby hotels and luckily found the Amigo Motor Lodge. Luckily they had one vacancy left in one of their refurbished airstreams. The interior was completely redone and beautiful. You do have to share a bathroom with the other airstream renters but the community bathrooms are beautiful and you can tell that they have also recently been redone. All of their facilities including the lobby were very clean as well which is really important as new parents and living in the Covid era. Ashley at the front desk was more than accommodating. We would stay there again if we had the choice! read more

The Amigo Motor Lodge is best. It's cute, clean, fairly-priced, instagram-able, and in a great location. There are airstreams, a hot tub, and tee pees on site plus a room full of cozy seating and cacti. The beds are comfortable and the comforters don't feel creepy (as they do in many hotels). Amigo Motor Lodge FTW! read more

We had a great stay here! It actually ended up snowing overnight, which caught us by surprise but the airstream actually kept us quite warm. I would suggest turning on the heater as soon as you get there even if it's not nighttime yet so it has time to heat up. The folks at amigo have thought about everything and every detail which is nice. The place is full of character and I love all the little touches. I think this is definitely the place to stay if you are coming to Salida. Two suggestions/comments: I think it would be really helpful if the lodge kept fire starters on hand because it was a little tough getting the fire started with just the word. Not sure if it had rained recently and the wood was a little damp or what, but it was tough to get it started. Secondly, I think that the airstreams should have some bottles of water in them. When you go to check in, there's a big fridge that has several bottles inside, but if I hadn't been nosy and opened it, I wouldn't have realized that's the only drinking water we would have access to. I think either the person at the front desk should encourage people to take some bottles with them, or there should be some in the air stream. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with everything you might need. I wasn't really sure how that situation would be, but it turned out to be totally fine. This is the perfect spot for a little getaway. Would definitely suggest you check it out and spend at least a night or two at this cute little lodge. read more

The price range for a room is solid. The morning coffee is absolutely excellent and this is coming from someone who only drinks Blue Bottle. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable of the neighborhood. I highly recommend for a couple getaway. That being said, consider adding non-slip mats to the bath tubs as my boyfriend nearly hit his head while showering. As well, I would have brought several postcards if they were available. read more

Amigo Motor Lodge is a hipster's paradise. This 1950s motel has been lovingly restored to its former mid-century modern glory, but with today's amenities such as A/C and WiFi. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean with beautiful mid-mod decor. They offer nice design touches like humorous information cards, artesian soaps and shampoos in the room, mini metal coolers for your room and well-landscaped grounds. The service is lovely, and there is a great hot tub, communal areas outdoors and the vintage airstreams are adorable. The owners compiled a nice brochure listing their favorite shops, restaurants, coffee and activity recommendations. All in all, a really fun, nostalgic place to stay. Highly recommend. read more

Such a hip joint with no detail overlooked. Reading the clipboard while drinking a beer out of a glass can cup was even a good time. Early summer 2017: The place still had some rough edges. An airstream park is under construction as well as a common area that stretches the middle of the parking lot. Once done it will be tiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Nothing was noisy, obnoxious or in the way. read more

Best night ever. This place is so fun and simple and lovely. We stayed with our dogs in Merle (airstream trailer). It was cozy, warm, and the record player was our favorite amenity. The hot tub was hot. The amigos were friendly. And the coffee in the morning was amazing. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Always a welcome, comfortable stay. I love the quirky lack of pretension that sets Amigo apart from franchise properties. Perhaps the brand names offer more amenities, but could never match the vibe or character. read more

Amigo Motor Lodge - Interior of Merle. - Guest Houses Near Me - Salida, Colorado

Yo, this place is fressssssshhhhhh. Disclaimer, though: I stayed in the airstream (PeeWee), and didn't get at them rooms. First and foremost, the aesthetic just works here. Simple, comfortable, super-super clean. We sneaked peaks in the other airstreams when they weren't occupied, and love how they're a mix of OG aluminum, and painted inside (as the PeeWee is). They come equipped with mini-fridges, DVD players, Crosleys, music and movies. Catch the spread, too: Robocop (although missing the disc), Superbad, The Dark Knight, Kill Bill, and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I'd like to think this was curated, but also love imagining that it was just pure, random radness. The staff were amazing and accommodating, the shared bathroom space as also really, really on point. Subway tiled everything, really good shower products, plenty of hooks for clothes and towels. We wondered if the shared bathroom would be an issue, but it totally wasn't. Water pressure could be higher (sigh), and post-poop matches would be nice, but we brought our own (of the latter). We enjoy Salida, and are pretty keenly interested in its developing boutique, underground scene with young entrepreneurs, so will be back often. We'll likely stay at Amigo e'ery time, sampling tee-pees, rooms, the whole bit. Side note: I used to be Lead Visual Designer at West Elm Cherry Creek (Denver), and there are lots of West Elm pieces and rugs I noticed. Maybe a bit biased, but seriously love the way everything is put together. read more

This is one of the cutest, most unique and well designed places I've stayed. My husband and I stayed in Velma (one of the airstreams) and had the best time. We are from NY and wanted something different, and definitely got it here! There are a lot of thoughtful touches throughout Amigo, like a sitting area on the front porch of our airstream, a pink record player in our airstream, hot tub, great communal areas to sit and chill, free coffee (and fruit/yogurt for breakfast), and a fridge stocked with cold water. As a graphic designer, I also appreciate all the little design details. Read all the info on their website; this was helpful in what to expect! If you're staying in an airstream, you will need to walk outside to the bathrooms, which are clean and spacious. I love this place and definitely recommend. read more

Great pit stop on the edge of Salida, a short drive from anything in town. Comfortable rooms, good bed, good decor, extra towels easy to get to. Would benefit greatly from requiring children to be accompanied. Found ourselves frequently dodging or watching over other guests' kids in the parking lot and when trying to keep to ourselves in common area. read more

Just recently had a great stay at the Amigo. Really glad I was able to bring my black lab to stay with me. The room was very clean. To my surprise the beds were super comfy. The staff was great, friendly and helpful at all hours. The only problem I encountered was the TV cable went out often, not really Amigo's fault as the service was effected by weather across Salida, CO. I look forward to staying again sometime! read more

I will start this review by agreeing with the positivity of the other reviews -- the Amigo is well-appointed and the trappings are very appealing. However, customer service also counts for a lot and I am not impressed with the recent treatment I received. Stayed at the Amigo Monday, July 8. During the night, I had an incident where I felt something poking me in my bed. It felt like a staple or nail or something. Being half asleep, I just tried to fix the situation by making it stop poking me. When I woke up, there was blood on the sheets and a big cut on my arm (about 8" long around my elbow). Turns out, there was a shard of glass embedded between the sheet and mattress pad that injured me during the night. I put the glass in the box from the ear plugs supplied by the Amigo and turned it in at the front desk. The woman at the desk collected it, barely looked at my bloody arm and showed basically no concern whatsoever. She wrote down what happened and said that she would tell the manager/owner, who "might do something about it." It is now Thursday and I've heard nothing. Cut still stings and I've woken up with nightmares of razors, knives, etc. cutting me while in my bed every night since Monday. I am not a stranger to staying in hotels, and this is the first instance of anything like this happening to me. After reading the good reviews, I expected better of this establishment -- like maybe the offer of a bandaid or at least a phone call telling me they were sorry. You may want to think twice about staying at the Amigo. read more

Put this at the top of your Colorado adventure list! I've stayed here three times now and sort of want to just move in. The owners, Kaitlyn and Philip, are the raddest and have pulled out all the stops. Each room is freshly renovated, clean, and decorated with different, hip touches. Kick back on one of their Tuft & Needle mattresses (the COMFIEST), chill in the tipi out front, or grab a beer in their expertly designed sun room. Make sure to explore the rest of Salida while you're there--I love Seasons Cafe for brunch, Ruby Blue's for vintage, and sitting by the Arkansas River. read more

A month ago or so, I was brainstorming ideas for E's birthday weekend. After spending a weekend working a solo Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado project in the are, I decided I wanted to bring him to Salida for the special occasion. I had heard really amazing things about the Amigo Motor Lodge from Megan R., the Yelp Denver CM, so I decided to call them up and reserve a room. Unfortunately, I didn't get the name of whoever I spoke to on the phone, which I guess would end up being to my detriment...but more about that later. However, rather than book online I did call the Amigo directly on May 7th to book a room. I had decided to book a standard king, but the girl I spoke to on the phone suggested I upgrade to a deluxe king for about $20. I questioned this suggestion, telling her that I had read online that the deluxe king rooms did not allow dogs and that I would be bringing my two pups. She assured me the deluxe king would be fine, so I decided to upgrade and pay the extra money. When the invoice receipt came through after my payment, I noticed a pet fee hadn't been included but didn't think anything of it, as a lot of hotels will charge you the pet fee after you check in and they see your pet. Fast forward to today. E and I had a perfectly nice drive from Denver and stopped into Elevation Brewing for a beer to wait out the hour or so before Amigo check-in opened up. Upon arrival, we parked the truck and brought our pups into the lobby to check in, excited about the prospect of an overly pet-friendly establishment (if you check out their Instagram, they have an entire story highlight dedicated to the "dogs of Amigo" and we were eager to let our dogs live the high life!). I have my name to the receptionist and her demeanor immediately became reproachful as she informed me that dogs were not allowed in the room we had been assigned and, due to the FIBArk festival this weekend, they had no pet-friendly rooms to move us to. I felt my blood pressure go through the roof and my face turn red. This was the exact reason I had called in the first place, to be a responsible pet owner and make sure they knew I was bringing pets. On top of that, I had confirmed dogs were allowed in the type of room I had been *upsold* on. After a call to the owner, the receptionist reluctantly told us we could have the room we were initially assigned, but that the dogs were absolutely not allowed on the furniture "because this room was never intended to have animals in it." We left the lobby feeling as if WE were the inconvenience and not the other way around. As of now, we have checked in. The room is beautiful. The bed is dreamy. But I have SUCH a bad taste in my mouth. If I had my camping equipment or if it wasn't such a busy weekend in town with the potential of zero vacancies, I'd demand a refund and peace out. Instead, I was left to feel like an absolute idiot when I was only trying to be a responsible pet owner AND give my fiancée the special birthday weekend he deserves. The fact that we were made to feel like crap is absolutely unacceptable. So I will put on a smile and make the most of this trip. I will keep my pups off the furniture because I am a good and responsible pet owner. But I will not be returning to Amigo Motor Lodge ever, because treating your guests as if they are an inconvenience when all they tried to do was be responsible? Well that's downright inexcusable. read more
