Quick Facts
What We Love:
A 1950s motor court on the highway west of Salida, stripped back and redone with Pendleton blankets, a record player in reception and three restored Airstreams out back. Salida itself is the draw as much as the room — a real Colorado town with a hot springs pool and a main street, rather than a purpose-built base village. Half an hour up to Monarch.
