"Amazing"

Gateway Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

"Pretty good stay overall. The good about gateway inn and suites the front desk staff was very helpful especially the woman who was working during the afternoon shift sorry forgot her name but she was extremely helpful with giving multiple recommendations for a locksmith. It was also clean and tidy only bad and they were minor in my eyes the rooms sitting chair had a minor rip and looked a tiny bit aged also the AC unit seemed to lack cooling power or something or maybe insulation wasn't as good as it should be to keep the room cool. Anyways good hotel and worth a couple nights stay for sure"

Salida Inn & Monarch Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This is just a gem for the price. I had just stayed 4 nights at a 4-star hotel in Santa Fe and this was a lot more comfortable for a third of the price. Good, clean and comfortable in all ways. Convenient. Quick check-in and just a refreshing, simple change---also close to the very cool town of Salida, a very pleasant surprise too and I wish we had had some more time to spend there. Thank you for the nice, peaceful stay."

BV Overlook Camp & Lodging

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in the yurt for two nights. The checkin was very easy - the hosts are kind and knowledgeable. The yurt was clean, spacious, had air and heat, a fan, plenty of outlets, and was close to both bathrooms. In addition, it has a deck with the most beautiful view of the mountains. The bathrooms/showers were clean. The group spaces were nice, with puzzles, games, and books. The kitchen area had a microwave that worked well. I’d highly recommend staying here, and look forward to returning."
