8/10 Very good

Great trip

Room was clean, staff helpful, but the beds need to be upgraded badly. I would have given perfect all the way around, but the beds took that away.
Charles, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is close to Salida downtown and to the hot springs and Buena Vista. The swimming pool is large for a hotel pool, and a very comfortable temperature.
Joyann, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are clean and safe. A good value.

1-night trip

6/10 Good

It's okay for the price, centrally located. It was overpriced for what it really is, it was okay but wouldn't stay again for what I paid.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to vacation. Everything about the motel was comfortable.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stayed 2 nights to ski at Monarch, they cleaned and kept it comfortable! I'll definitely revisit.
Donald, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This isn't a bad place. But it's kind of noisy and always has construction going on. The room is good but the motel doesn't look that good because of that. I'll stay there again.
Jackie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very accommodating and friendly staff, loved my room and the giant bathtub!
Erica, 1-night trip

Worth coming back

Our second stay at Great Western because we had a great stay the first time.
Blane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good for a one night stay while traveling

The lodge was fine for a one night stay while traveling. The room was clean and adequate. The bed was comfortable. We did not use the pool. Parking was in front of the room which made unloading easy.

Our check in person, Mr Shim was very polite and friendly.. We will be back😊
Richard, 1-night trip

I had a very pleasant stay. The bed was comfy!! The man who checked me in was pleasant. The TV wasn't showing much worth watching!! But I'll stay again!!
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

Thin walls

All is ok for a cheap motel, but walls are paper thin and clientele were pretty noisy.

Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everyone at the property was super nice to us. We needed a quiet place to stay while hiking for a couple days in the area. It was nice to come back to the hot tubs!
Nathan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs Updating

The Great Western is a dated motel that is in a good location on Rt. 50 in Salida. The room was clean, but the decor needed to be updated. The space was ample for two people, but the soundproofing between rooms was poor. The staff was friendly, but this did not offset the dated and somewhat rundown condition of the property.
Jeffrey, 2-night trip
