6/10 Good

It was okay okay stay, Old motel

Rate is not worth the stay, Rooms are very small and bathrooms are super tight, They have done good job to renovate interiors, best would be to remove the carpets because that smell after sometime hits you. Overall stay was okay okay, I will try something else, more modern and spacious in same buck.

Easy check in, love the drive through. Room is nice. Love the retro fridge. Very clean and comfortable.
Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Motel is super cute and our room was the perfect size for two of us for one night on our road trip. Only a couple things would have made it better. The window really needs to have curtains that block out the sun. When you’re on vacation and drove for a long time, the last thing you want is to wake when the sun comes up. The room brightens up too much in the am. Would have been nice to have black out curtains to not be awaken at 0600. Also, the mattress is a bit too firm.
Alishia, 1-night trip

A quick overnight stay in Salida and the American Classic was just what we needed. Clean room, a little

Hubby and I just stayed for a second time. It’s simple and clean and staff are friendly. Definitely close to traffic, but that didn’t bother us.

Great stay

Great check in. Very nice and helpful. Room is clean and very cute. Wished there was an extra lock in the door for security.
Michelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This sink would not drain, the guy who checked me in came right over and had it fixed in no time, I appreciate that. I booked months in advance, it would have been better to have a room that wasn't the closet one to the main road. I will always stay here.

Wilbur, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the attention to detail here. The fixtures in the bathroom right down to the hinges in the bathroom door were new and sparkly. Then the retro styling in the bedroom made me smile with every detail I noticed. The bed was comfy too. The grab and go breakfast consisted of individually wrapped muffins, granola bars, mini donuts, and pop tarts. There were also small bottles of fruit juice drink and coffee/tea. Outside offered a fun play structure for kiddies and a barbecue with a picnic table. A colorful place inside and out; we really enjoyed our stay.
