What guests think

At Woodland Motel, travellers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff, clean and well-kept rooms, and a convenient, quiet location that’s a moderate walk to downtown and the river, though the vintage building means some rooms and bathrooms run small.

Many rooms are updated and comfortable, with kitchenettes or full kitchens available, but a few guests noted tight showers and occasional noise from appliances or HVAC. Amenities that stand out include a clean hot tub, pet-friendly policies, bikes to borrow or rent, and in-room local coffee; lobby coffee and grab-and-go snacks are provided, though breakfast is minimal and sometimes not ready right at opening. Expect a simple, well-cared-for stay with good value near Salida’s core.

We had a great stay at Woodland! Clean room, super friendly staff, nice tv with good cable. Really good locally brewed coffee in room and snacks in the lobby. We soaked in the hot tub after each day of skiing at Monarch. It was newer and clean. We will stay here again next year!

Very convenient location for a moderate walk or a short drive into a cute town with restaurants and shopping or to the little river park. Staff was very friendly. Can even rent bikes there if you want with just your room number.

Love Love Love the Woodland! Despite the entire town's internet being down, I was able to check-in easily. They have a bike lending policy so we could ride bikes to town for dinner. Super fun. Room was re-done, clean, had a full-kitchen which, since I was traveling with fresh garden produce was very helpful. Loved that it wasn't on the commercial strip but is in a north-side neighborhood. It quiets down at night (in our case, a Tuesday night). Clean, well appointed rooms, just a wonderful and perfect stop to rendezvous with a friend for a night. Stay here if you can!

Nice place for a great price. Just spent 20 days in Colorado and I've never seen the hotel prices as high as they were this summer in big destination spots like Crested Butte and Durango. The Woodland motel stood out as one of the best values we found on our trip. The room was comfortable, the location was great, the staff provided lots of helpful info on our daily mountain bike rides, the free breakfast snacks helped us get an early start each day, and the hot tub was a great way to end the day. Highly recommend this place

We walked from the property into downtown Salida where we enjoyed delicious food and great bars. Convenient location for access to Monarch Mt. We will absolutely stay again.

Room seemed clean but a very musty smell and there were some small bugs, water beetles maybe? I found one in a pillow, on a wall, on the door, in a towel. It is a 2-star hotel, and they do try very hard.

This hotel was a short half mile walk into downtown Salida which has restaurants and shops along the Arkansas river. The two bed room on the 2nd floor was spacious and included a microwave and refrigerator. The hot tub at the hotel was small but we enjoyed relaxing in it on a cool day. There was a coffee pot in the room, but the amount of coffee provided was not enough to brew a full pot. The lobby didn't open until 8am daily. Being a hotel with likely many guests having to leave early in the morning, I think the lobby should've opened no later than 7am.

You couldn't even turn around in the bathroom it was so small and funky. The air conditioning didn't cool the room properly at night and it was very noisy. The good news was it was a nice half mile walk into town. The town was very cute but I wouldn't stay at this place again

Motels get a bad rap but this is exactly the kind of place you want to stay in a small town. It’s a cutie little place which is family owned- and you can tell because they clearly put a lot of love and effort put into the small details. Including freshly ground coffee in the rooms. It’s about a 12 minute walk to the main town area and on NYE which we walked both ways but pedicab ride by and offered us a ride which surprised me as an option in such a small town, there’s also a taxi company too if mobility is an issue. We were only here for one night but if we find ourselves back in Salida we will definitely stay here again!

Locally-owned hotel with a cozy atmosphere - the employees are very friendly, there’s someone on site at all times, and the room condition was great! I’m not sure why it’s not mentioned but the two dooubles room has a mini-fridge with a freezer, a microwave, a coffee maker (that included local coffee, sugar, and creamer), a table large enough for four people with chairs, a TV, and clothes line built into the shower. They even had a spill kit under the sink! These people thought of everything! There’s also a community jacuzzi, vending machines and an ice machine behind closed doors (locked with tenant code access), and bikes on site to rent. Great rooms for a great price! The one downside was the bathroom fan was VERY loud and its linked to the light. The heater was also noisy but not as bad.

If you're looking for clean and comfortable, you're at the right place. A true Americana mom & pop place. The desk clerk at check-in was pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. The room was a skoch on the small side but was definitely large enough for everything we needed. IT WAS CLEAN! There was a hot tub that guests were in but we didn't partake. Coffee and a very continental breakfast (granola bars and fruit cups) were available in the office in the morning. The room was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. What more can you ask for?

We loved the location, flowers, and feel upon check in. The hot tub was also a great feature. The coffee maker in the room was nice given we're early risers, but after making 2 cups of weak coffees with the small amount of grounds provided in mini-Tupperwares, we were eager to tuck into the hot coffee promised in the lobby at 8am. Sadly, the lobby door was locked at 8am and still at 8:03am, ultimately leaving us no choice but to drive into town to purchase our own coffee grounds. 8am already seemed a tad late for making lobby coffee available, but goodness--you better have it available right at 8am!
