The owners go way out of their way to make sure that all your needs are met. They are down to earth people and provide an affordable service. I for one have stayed there many times, whenever I am in the area. Pam and Lee, the owners, remember me by name. Try finding that bit of kindness in the larger... More

The Circle R is older and somewhat tired but clean and friendly and right on the way to SW Colorado. We stayed there this week and found the owner knowledgeble and helpful and got a good night's rest on our way back from southern Colorado. One negative - the dead bolt didn't work but the area doesn't seem unsafe, so... More

We were on a 2000 mile motorcycle ride through Colorado. Saw this cute motel & decided to check it out. Very nice owners, Pam & Lee, made us feel right at home. Nice clean rooms. Chairs out front for all of us to sit on which was nice also. Recommended a great restaurant that was walking distance. Lee has his... More

It’s not the fanciest, but the Circle R was a very comfortable laid-back and down-home base for four days of fly fishing. My uncle flew in from Tulsa, I came in from NYC, we met my dad and brother in Denver and then headed for Salida intending to fish the Arkansas River but with no idea where we’d stay once... More

Feeling road weary I headed to circle r for some much needed sleep. The bed was great. The owners were very cool. Pam directed me to some cool hiking trails. Sitting outside my room I had a great view of the mountain silhouette in the evening sky. Best value, cool setting, nice owners. Don't be fooled by the days inn... More

Cute 1950s-style motel, with parking right outside your door. The owner, Pam, was friendly and helpful at check-in. They have free coffee in the office in the morning. Our room was medium-sized and clean, but the bathroom could use some updating and TLC. TV was not flat screen, but was attached to a satellite system, so channel selection was good.... More

In a nutshell, a 50's vintage motel without all the unnecessary frills. Nice and clean, great bed, (better than my own), cold air conditioning (got too cold and had to turn it down some), PLENTY of hot water and PLENTY of pressure. Sorry, no valet parking, gold plated soap dishes, fuzzy bathrobes or linen curtains. Daily housekeeping, daily clean towels... More

When doing road travel, you get into the usual rut of living out of a suitcase, packing and unpacking toiletries, cosmetics, clothing, etc. and then resting on same old, same old. Circle R is the true respite from the boring. Run by husband and wife team,Pam and Lee, it has been my favorite Salida choice for a long time. Love... More

The Circle R Motel in Salida is an excellent place to stay while enjoying Southeast Colorado. I spent a week there while prospecting and the owners made every effort to help make my stay enjoyable. The rooms were clean every day and time spent talking with the owners on their patio gave my vacation a personal touch you would not... More
