This was the third time my husband and I have stayed here in the last 6 years. It is the only place we stay when we visit Salida. It is an older motel that has been remodeled. The rooms are nice sized, and EVERYTHING is VERY CLEAN, and neat and tidy. The grounds and flowers are beautiful and well manicured. They have a wonderful continental breakfast with breads to toast, pastries, fruit, milk, juice, cereal, hard boiled eggs, and delicious coffee. They have a nice pool, and a beautiful spa area. It is one of the most reasonably priced hotels also. Everytime we have stayed here, it has been an exceptional experience. Each time we are amazed that there are still NICE, comfortable, motels like this. We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Salida.

We stayed several nights here in Sept 2003, selecting it because they accepted our 1 1/2 year old miniature schnauzer. It was great and we've come back each year since, and have reservations for the coming Sept, 2007. Ted and Teresa, the owners, are just really nice people. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, with microwave, refrigerator and plenty of hot water. The breakfast is nothing special but has far more variety than we have at home, including at least 2 juices, 3 cereals, several breads and pastries, fresh fruit and -- hard boiled eggs! And coffee. LOTS of coffee!! I decided to post this review after reading a couple of negative ones because our experiences here have always been absolutely positive!

My granddaughter and I stayed 2 nights at the silver Ridge Lodge. The stay was one of the most enjoyable stay's at a Lodge or Motel in many years. They have the cleanest rooms I have seen in a motel ever. I have been in large chain hotels that are not as clean as Silver Ridge Lodge. I will stay there in the future as I will be in the area in the fall. It was a very enjoyable stay.

I checked out this hotel by recomendation from another hotel in town due they no longer offer smoking rooms. The rooms were so comfortable and homey. It's the only hotel that I ever stayed in that provided decent sized bar soap for the lav. and shower/bath. Teresa, one of the owners, was always asking if I needed anything. Her husband, Ted, was always so busy taking care of the grounds. Which, for the time of the year, was immaculate. House keeping was outsatanding. Cudos to Judy. As a business traveler who isn't home to often, all the people at SRL made me feel like I was at a home away from home. I will definately stay there whenever I return to the Salida area and will recommend their hotel to all my colleagues. My hat is off to Teresa, Ted, and Judy!
Thankyou for the wonderful stay!
