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.

Beautiful cabin! From the moment you enter you enjoy the decor the ambience and the amenities!…read moreThere are currently only 2 cabins next to each other, each cabin sleeps 8 people. 2 bedrooms with king size beds and two queen size sofa beds. There are lots if towels, pillows and sheets. The kitchen has everything you may need to cook. Coffee maker for both K cup or regular brew. There is something to do for everyone, from boards games to children's books and crayons. Each section of the cabin has separate speakers for music which is controlled by the Ipad in the room. Definitely pet friendly since I saw dog treats on the counter. There is a natural hot spring pool on the deck with lots of seating area. We stayed for 3 days there while we went kayaking and for sure our accommodations were fabulous. I would definitely book this place again.

After a couple days of camping, a slow leak in our air mattress, and a terrible migraine my sweet husband said lets stay in a hotel our last night. Here's the skinny: The good- Little kitchenettes Fireplace and air conditioning Cable with HBO (we don't have cable at home) Comfortable The less good- Like staying at Grandma's house no lotion no conditioner (came with 2 packages of conditioning shampoo as a hair dresser I was agast...Merle could care less, I digress) no sink in the bathroom no phone really really small The bad- The price was the same as the chain hotels which would be fine if they offered the same amenities. On the sign from the road it says in large print 'Pets Welcome' however there was a game of 24 questions like how big our dog is? How much hair does he have? Is he shedding? He can't be on the furniture...blah blah blah. Seemed less pet friendly than the sign indicates. Checkout was 10am That really bummed me out. Hey peeps vacation usually indicates me wanting to sleep in. All in all it was okay and I would stay there again if the chain hotels were full, but not so much otherwise.

This was nothing special, but was a positive experience none the less. The room was neat and clean,…read morethe TV worked, the shower had hot water. We had enough towels, quiet neighbors and plenty of toilet paper. The building is right on the main road, so it is easy to find and the location was quite convenient, since there was a good restaurant a few doors down, a breakfast/coffee shop almost right next door and a 7-eleven across the street. My chief complaint are the pillows. You need a good pillow to get good sleep and it felt like I was laying down on a plank of wood. I woke up with a crink in my neck and so did my friend. If you do stay here, bring your own pillows! ** The map here on Yelp is completely wrong about the location of the motel. It is on the main road that goes through the middle of town (Rt. 24) and sits between Oak and Mill Streets. For some reason Google maps it wrong. **

Stayed July 7th, 2018…read more I don't mind inexpensive, old, run down, but clean roomed motels. This fits the bill. The air conditioner made noise, but didn't blow cool air. The woman at the desk was almost hostile so I didn't think it worth asking for another room. The room was basic, with a 90s tv we didn't turn on. The beds were fair - the kind that bend when you sit down. The sheets were old, thin but clean. The bedspreads were almost quiltlike - made out of real, fairly thick material - rather than the shiny, satiny material normally found in inexpensive motels. I don't know whether this is good or bad. Mike Rowe in "Dirty Jobs" takes the bed spreads off the bed in every motel he stays in. He doesn't trust what's happened on them. There were two bath towels, no more, no less. The price was a total of $104 for two queen beds. I asked what the cost was in the winter and the unfriendly innkeeper said $69 plus taxes, etc. The front desk area was cluttered and filthy. There were animal heads on the wall behind the stone faced lady that hadn't been dusted since the 60s. Off to the right of the woman's shoulder was a calendar with the face of Donald Trump glaring pugnaciously at you. I didn't read the bold phrase underneath his head. The next cheapest motel with rooms was $170 or so. I would stay here again, but would look at the room first and make sure the AC worked.

My experience here was excellent. This is a great launching point for many adventures throughout…read morethe region. It's a 10 minute drive to a hot springs, close to many restaurants, and the park across the street with the lake had fisher people most of the time. It's simple to walk to many destinations The staff was accommodating and access was simple and efficient. I highly recommend this establishment I will return. You should give it a try.

Nice clean place within walking distance to the town and park…read more For the price we paid it would have been nice to have A/C. The small fan in the room wasn't enough. We kept our door open waiting for the cool night air to help out. We had a problem with the faucet leaking all over the floor due to a leaking pipe. No compensation for having to use the bathtub to drink and brush or teeth until they could get it fixed, even though "Mike" said he would be happy to compensate us for the inconvenience.

The bed was big and comfy, it has air conditioning, and a more or less fully functioning kitchen. The bathroom is a bit small but fully functional. The Inn-keeper is super friendly and lovely. We arrived very late and he was so nice about it. His breakfast was simple but very nice. I very much appreciated that he put coffee out at 7am, even when breakfast doesn't start till 7:30. The house is a bit cluttered, as is the back yard. I think cleaning that up would really revitalize the place. The location is fantastic. It's basically a block from the main drag. And you get a parking spot, not that parking is that hard in Salida. That said I once had to park 3 blocks away from something! *gasp* For a weekend away to enjoy this cute town and the river, this place is a good choice.

My wife and I stayed in room 210 for a night and had a wonderful experience! The space was…read moretastefully decorated and renovated nicely. We've had mixed experiences with boutique hotels, but this is an example of one done well. It's conveniently located downtown on Main Street (upstairs) and is a perfect way to either visit the city, or enjoy a night while passing through. The front desk is virtual in the form of text messaging, which we had zero issue with getting our room code and to check out, and we found they responded to our inquiry about parking promptly. The parking lot is off of Railroad street in a public lot that we had zero issues with. The electronic locks for the rooms took a moment to understand, but worked fine to lock/unlock the room. (Hint: Double tap the logo and the keypad appears). Though the pricing can be a bit expensive, it seems in line with what you can expect to pay in mountain towns. Overall, our stay at The Inn left us with the feeling that we got what we paid for, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Very nice renovation of space in an old building within walking distance of shops and restaurants…read morein Buena Vista. Anything else you will need within a mile or two. Plenty of parking close by. Nice decore, plenty of hot water and good bathroom. Sent text 2 days prior to visit. No response. Directions didn't say that door needed to be locked electronicaly when you left the room. For first 24 hrs I couldn't get the door to lock. I was told that the doors needed adjustment. The safe in the room was already locked when I arrived. Was told they couldn't find the key fob to open it. Took a day to fix. New toilet had 3 or 4 problems. Installed incorrectly. I fixed a few of the issues to keep it from sticking but still could use some work. I didn't have any noise issues. The restaurant below closes at 9pm. I stayed 3 nites and was hiking most days and going to bed at 8-9pm. The mattress and pillows were fantastic as well as well functioning A/C and a good ice machine. There are no dressers in the room. Not even luggage stands. You Have to work out of your luggage from the floor. Not good for this level of Inn. No usable chair in the room. There was one "sling" chair that was not easy to sit on and zero back support. I like a chair to read. I don't like to have to sit in the bed whenever I used the room. I sat in the chair to put on my socks and boots and the chair tipped over and my forehead struck the edge of the bed leaving a half inch cut. Minimal blood. Trash, trash, trash!!!! There was one trash can located in the bathroom and no place to empty trash. Hydrate, hydrate. I used a case of water and 16 bottles of Gatorade. Nowhere to put the empty bottles. There are 25 steps to to rooms. I am athletic older man. It was painful to carry multiple 40 lb. suitcases and packs up those stair. The Inn did send me a text...... on the last day, asking what they could do to improve my stay. To little too late. I have been gone for 4 days. I had expected the INN to reach out to me personally about my issues. I expect the owner to respond to this review. That is all u can expect for service during you stay.... The perfunctory virtual response. This place has potential but alot to learn about hospitality. I sincerely wish them luck.

She also gave us so many recommendations on where we could catch a nice dinner and the two places we went to were just amazing. Can't wait to go back!
