We are incredibly honored to share that American Classic Motor Inn has been named a Top 3 Motel of 2025 by BusinessRate⭐️⭐️⭐️ - based on recent Google reviews right here in Salida, Colorado🏔️☀️

This recognition means the world to us because it reflects years of hard work, late nights, and a whole lot of ♥️ poured into bringing this classic roadside motel back to life. From the very beginning, our goal was to recreate the charm of a true American motor inn — while blending in modern comforts, thoughtful details, and the welcoming vibe Salida is known for.

What was once an aging property has been fully renovated room by room, with intentional design choices that celebrate retro aesthetics, vibrant colors, & nostalgic touches. All while offering clean, comfortable, pet-friendly accommodations, convenient drive-up parking, and easy access right off of Hwy. 50💫

This award belongs just as much to our amazing guests as it does to us. Your kind reviews, repeat stays, & support of a locally owned, family-run motel make everything we do worthwhile🥰

Thank you for believing in our vision, supporting small businesses, and helping us prove that classic never goes out of style!🫶🛼

Here’s to preserving the past, elevating the experience, and continuing to welcome travelers from all over the world to our little retro gem in the Colorado mountains🏔️✨🚗
