"Loved our stay first time in Salida. The owner is awesome he tries to please all his guest and is added more amenities so his guest have everything. There was a sauna and huge hot tub. The pool was closed because it was in October so didn’t expect it to be but hot tub was perfect. Our cabin was big it had a king size bed with night stands a recliner. Bathroom with a tub, we also had an outside and front porch with chairs and rocking chairs and a bbq pit. The breakfast was a simple breakfast but the yogurt and fresh fruit with granola was so good. I would recommend this place any day. The staff was very friendly! I really hope this new owner is very successful because he deserves it! Go check them out and stay!"

"Gateway Inn & Suites in Salida, Colorado is an excellent facility and obviously the result of hard-working management doing their best to deliver excellent facilities and service to the traveling public. This is a great example of entrepreneurship and small business at its finest. The breakfast offering is fantastic, the rooms are beautifully appointed and all the fixtures and flooring, paint and finishes are nearly perfect. The bed was comfortable and I had some of the best sleep in a hotel I have had in recent years. The mix of guests among the nearly 96 rooms was quite entertaining, and included folks from every walk of life. There were bikers (motorcycles), folks from back east, very senior citizens, young families with dogs (not in the rooms, but out and about), and all the activity that goes with it. Parking was tight, but we managed. We would be delighted and happy to stay here again. KUDOS to the management of Gateway Inn & Suites. They deserve a hearty THANK YOU! No wonder this facility sells out routinely. I will again work hard to get my reservation in early!"
