I was looking for a unique stay on my way back from Santa Fe to Denver, and have always loved Salida and its charm. I came across this renovated motel that also offered Airstreams as an option for respite. I was excited to visit the motor lodge, and had heard great things from friends who had stayed here in the past. I was pleasantly surprised at how incredibly well-kept and clean the place was, and how inviting the staff was. I stayed in the Pee Wee Airstream, and it was clean, spacious for one person, and so comfortable. I felt completely safe and cozy, and despite their being a shared bathroom for all of the Airstreams, it was never inconvenient during my stay. I didn't have my dog for this trip, but am hoping to make another trip down there with her and would love to stay here again!

My wife and I love coming here. Our dogs do, too! We've stayed here the past two Thanksgiving weekends and will probably continue the tradition next year.Salida's a great little town with plenty to do during the summer and winter months. We've only been during the colder months, but Amigo is a cozy place to shack up.The rooms are appropriately-sized, the beds are comfortable and the wifi is solid. There's a hot tub on site, they offer free coffee in the lobby, as well as reusable bottles of water in the communal refrigerator. They're pup friendly and the sun room is the perfect place to hang out by the fire!Staff are generally friendly and responsive. They have a nice texting feature when you need to check in/check out or request room service. Sometimes they can be a little hard to track down, but it's safe to assume they might be short staffed. Practice patience people!We'd love to stay in the airstreams, but we think it might get a little tight with our dogs. The rooms are comfortable with a sizeable table and chairs to read a book or get work done. Amigo acknowledges how old their plumbing is, so showers sometimes take a while to heat up. Just know before you go.Right off the main drag of State Rd 50, it's only a three minute drive to Salida's little Main St. area along the Arkansas River. Recommend for your next mountain getaway!

First of all, let me make clear that the Amigo Motor Lodge is not a Rock Resort, but if you are looking for a very clean friendly place with a distinctive charm and an attentive staff( thank you Trinity and Kate!), I couldn't recommend the Amigo any higher.

Hello cutie! This very vibe-heavy establishment is a real gem in an area of mostly run down hotels. Great things: Hella cute -have you SEEN the gram?-Doggo friendly -truly (wo)man's best friend-Great location - about a ten minute drive or less to things of interest/ downtown-Sassy brand image and messaging - obvi, don't pee in the hot tub-The only thing I have a hard time with:The price - paid for a dog friendly airstream but with the detached bathrooms, no snacks of any kind, a pool or toothpaste (I forgot mine) over $100 a night is steep and ensures you'll have to eat out for every single meal during your stay -

Fantastic! Really enjoyed our night's stay in Amigo! I saw the Discovery + episode of "Re-Motel" that featured Amigo. While my fiancé and I were planning our Colorado road trip that episode was inspiration enough to add Salida to the list of places on the trip. Glad we did! The town is super cute and dog friendly. Amigo is also dog friendly and it was such a nice touch to have a dog bowl in front of our room upon arrival. Though they do not allow you to leave your dog in the hotel room without you present they have great alternative recommendations like Alpha Dog Care. We didn't end up using them however, we looked into it and they were super nice and helpful. The town of Salida is dog friendly so we ended up bringing our dog with us on our walk through town. There's also a dog park less than 10min away from Amigo that was really big and well kept. Amigo was truly an experience and all the details that went into everything was really cute and fun. Highly recommend!

Amigo is just what you expect from their website/insta- good vibes and a simple (but not too simple) stay! If you're like me and wondering all the things, here's what I was wondering and found out during our stay. * each room has a fridge/freezer* the community hot tub is not too often occupied* the tv is just tv, no Netflix/Hulu* the town of salida has sooo much to offer! * a full week at amigo is great & the staff is super nice and accommodating. Coffee, grab & go breakfast, water, & OJ are in the lobby each morning. And the staff is a text away for anything, even food recs which was so great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (we were there for a full week) and will definitely be back!

Really cute motel! Everything is really hip, the bed is extremely comfortable, hot tub outside, great lounge area with coffee, tee, fruit and yogurt in the morning for breakfast.The front desk staff is very helpful and they do accommodate late check-ins.Will definitely come back and stay in the summertime to hike around.

Was not impressed with Service. Checked in at 3 and no one was there till 8:00 am to bring me a hair dryer and iron. Their excuse is short staffed. So the customer suffers?If you don't have the staff - don't operate.

The Amigo far exceeded our expectations! Comfy beds, amazing decor, and just great overall vibes. Service was great and we really enjoyed our stay here. Will be back soon!
