Hampton Inn & Suites Salida

8/10 Good

"Our 3 night stay was comfortable! Check-in was easy, room was clean, bed comfortable enough, breakfast was as expected, good location and well lit parking. Check-in/night front desk attendant had zero personality. The morning/day guy was so personable, I heard him interact with people each morning while at breakfast. I will definitely stay at this location again next year for our yearly Ford Bronco Super Celebration!"

Loyal Duke Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay. Our two dogs were very comfortable as were we!! Central to everything in the area and ample parking for our van. Best hotel coffee EVER. Thank you!!!"

Colorado Basecamps

10/10 Excellent

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our first time staying in a yurt—and what an experience! You couldn’t find a more serene location, with the most spectacular mountain views 🌄 and hiking distance to the AK 💦. (Appropriate footwear with good tread is HIGHLY recommended! 😂) that is ABSOLUTELY perfect for stargazing💫. For a yurt, they provide potable water, hot showers, WiFi, and a menu with 20 different food options. Honestly, we got our coffee early, and I was already thrilled they had flavored coffee creamer. 😂 We just sat back and watched the sun come up. Then the host started bringing things out… OJ, yogurt, fruit, parfaits, donuts, biscotti, cinnamon rolls… and then they opened the grill. We ordered biscuits & gravy with fried eggs, a breakfast burrito, and bacon. WTH?! 🤯 We were served what was hands-down the BEST camping breakfast EVER! Everything was delicious, and the hospitality was above and beyond. This place is fantastic. Beautiful, peaceful, incredible views, great food, and wonderful hosts. HIGHLY recommend! We would absolutely stay here again! 🌄❤️"
