Baymont by Wyndham Salida

Steer away. No parking*** due to construction workers and tow vehicles on site. Many construction workers stayed at the hotel while we visited. They drank and smoked in their construction clothes all around the facility, including at the hot tub. Watch your kids. Breakfast was basically curdled eggs, waffles, and dry cereal. We had to wait in line for waffles while staff members made their plates. The sheets and rooms were dusty and messy. We will NOT be staying at a Baymont again.

Pool and hot tub were super nice after hiking long days on the Continental divide trail

For a reasonably priced hotel, this was good. The rooms were clean, in reasonable condition, and the beds comfortable. The breakfast had lots of choices including good waffles and above average scrambled eggs and sausage every day. Negatives: 1) My bed squeaked some each time I got in our out of bed but my kids bed didn't. Also, we stayed 4 nights and I was told would get maid service after the 3rd night which didn't happen. All we needed was clean towels as we lost track of whose was whose so I exchanged our used towels for new ones at the front desk which was no big deal. It is not like a fancy new hotel but I would stay here again given the price was reasonable. The best restaurants and things to do in Salida are in the historic downtown just a 5 minute drive away and Monarch Mountain ski area was 20 minutes the other direction, so it was perfectly located for our ski vacation.
