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! :)

Stumbled upon the Amigo Motor Lodge while driving down highway 50 in Salida after a bad experience…read moreat 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.

She said that they offer fans to the guests and quickly grabbed a box fan for me. She even offered to carry it to my room for me since I had a dog with me. They are SOOOO dog friendly and she gave some lovin's to my dog right away and offered some treats. Bed is comfortable and toiletries are great. The dispensable kind so you don't have to worry about little bottles everywhere. I would stay here again 100% and I haven't even gotten to sleep yet. I'm sure the rest of my stay will be great!! Top notch!!

BLUF: friendly staff, but heat, water, and breakfast mediocre…read more Stayed 3 nights. The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff was always friendly. If you want your room to be serviced make sure you ask for it because they only service rooms upon demand. The breakfast is passable, but minimal. There will always be some sort of egg, some sort of sausage, and some sort of potato. Along with that the usual bread and bagels to toast, juices, yogurt, cold cereals, waffle maker. Biggest complaints have to do with the room water and heating / Cooling. The water pressure was good, but sometimes he would turn the water on and get scalding water for one minute and then get nothing but lukewarm water the entire rest of your shower. There really was no consistency and even if you did get the temperature just right it would probably change within a minute or two. Ended up taking a lot of warm showers not hot showers. The other issue has to do with the heating and cooling in the rooms. They are still using the kind of old style console Heating and Cooling system, and you have to actually choose whether to heat or cool so if you're in that weird window where sometimes you need to heat up sometimes you need to cool you have to manually do it. And even when you do set it it's very questionable as to whether the thermostat is accurate and whether you'll ever actually achieve the temperature you set.

We hardly ever stay in locally owned motels like this, but we had a few rooms booked for a family…read moregathering. My sister-in-law stays there regularly and recommended it. I honestly didn't have high expectations, and if I'd known they were so welcoming of dogs, I would have been even more doubtful. How clean could a dog motel be? Well it was spotless. I was astounded. I don't know what the other reviewers are seeing when they say it's not clean, but this was not remotely our experience. And I promise, I am pretty picky, judgmental, and unforgiving about dirty establishments. Rooms were right about the size you expect for a motel. Not huge, but not cramped, by any means. I expected cheap finishes and supplies, but everything felt high quality and well appointed. Thick, soft towels; comfortable, medium-firm beds; good quality linens. Okay, the shower was a prefab shower kit, and not tiles. There's ya the one weakness I could spot. But the water was hot and the pressure was good so do with that what you will. We enjoyed a family dinner at the picnic tables with a nice mountain view, followed by a relaxing evening by the fire pit. Front desk staff, both on arrival and the next morning, were friendly and accomodating. Continental breakfast was super convenient, if not extensive, but it was a freebie on a very good room rate, so anyone should be ashamed if they complain about this. Who doesn't like toast, anyway? I cannot stress enough how surprised I was that a motel that not only welcomes--but actively celebrates!-- all things dog-related, could be this clean, quiet, and orderly. I wouldn't hesitate to book here again.
