"Born from a mid-century motor inn given a Scandi-meets-Southwest makeover, this nearly 60-year-old spot feels thoroughly modern while still preserving parts of its vintage shell. Guests can choose between motel rooms or vintage Airstreams, all outfitted with Tuft & Needle beds, Malin + Goetz bath products, leafy plants, and plenty of reading material. The 17-room property centers around a fire pit and cedar hot tub, with a communal patio and sunroom that invite coffee-sipping, journaling, or simply decompressing. There’s no restaurant on-site, but the innkeepers step in with curated café recommendations and vouchers to fuel your day. The atmosphere is unmistakably Salida—laid-back, artsy, and geared toward adventurers in a town perched on the Arkansas River and surrounded by 14ers, whitewater, and crisp alpine air." - Katie Shapiro
"A stylish and thoughtfully designed—if low-frills—boutique reimagining of a mid-century motel, set in south central Colorado’s Salida, a natural waypoint for adventure travel that had been waiting for a hotel like this." - Le Guide MICHELIN
"A renovated, "hipster‑fied" motel and motor lodge that leans into nostalgia: guests can stay in significantly modernized old‑school motel rooms or in Airstreams. Public amenities include hot tubs and a morning coffee bar with a grab‑and‑go breakfast. It is located in Salida, the closest well‑sized town to the ski area." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

"With America’s seemingly limitless supply of mid-century motels transforming themselves one by one into boutique hotels, the average small town is suddenly many times more likely to offer a stylish and thoughtfully designed — if low-frills — place to stay. Salida, in south central Colorado, is such a place. It was just waiting for the arrival of a hotel like the Amigo Motor Lodge." - MICHELIN Guide
"In the south-central Colorado town of Salida, a mid-century motel reborn as a boutique hotel delivers a stylish, thoughtfully designed, low-frills place to stay — exactly the kind of arrival this small town seemed to be waiting for." - MICHELIN Guide
