Check in was a breeze. The staff was great - friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The room was what I expected and what I wanted - a clean place to shower and sleep on a longer journey. I would definitely stay here again.

I have stayed at the Circle R during ski season on 2 or 3 occasions now. Their check-in process is efficient, and their rooms are economical, and everything is clean and well maintained. I have reservations to return again next month!

Helpfulness of Dillon/Dylan initially, then Tammy (name?) at check-in, then Dillon again at check-out. I had to switch to the room next door because of some equipment failure but that was no big deal. It was quiet, comfortable, convenient and reasonably priced.

Wonderful Stay

Our stay at Circle R Motel was wonderful. Check in was great, very quick and very nice staff. Rooms are spacious, bathrooms are clean. Free EV charging was a bonus!! I also appreciated that shampoo/conditioner/etc. were provided but in an environmentally-friendly way. Perfect place to rest to fuel our outdoor adventures.

Bad Mattress in Good Room

Mattress seems played out (Really no support), particularly when paying +$100/night PLUS $20 pet fee. Room was clean and otherwise in good condition. I appreciate an extension cord with lots of plugs.

Ok if you’re passing through

It’s not as nice as the pictures would leave you to believe. Rooms are very small. Don’t expect to use the bicycles they claim to have. There are two locked up out front but some guy we asked said they were not operational. One or two nights but anything longer spend the extra money and go across the street to the Comfort Inn.

We stayed for 3 nights recently. The room was clean, has a small fridge, microwave, and Keurig-type coffee maker. From a maintenance perspective, room 5 was in rough shape; see pictures. Needs to have some maintenance done. The AC was loud but worked well. Overall just okay.

Great little place.

Hey this was a quirky little hotel in Salida Co. Bare bones and 65 dollars a night. So you get a 65 dollar hotel. Shower, King bed and a great TV. And a outdoor hot tub! Clean place and friendly people. 4 nights.
