What guests think

At Loyal Duke Lodge, travelers highlight its strong dog-friendly vibe, helpful staff, and popular indoor pool with multiple hot tubs, while noting tradeoffs like an older motor-lodge layout, basic breakfast hours, tight parking, and occasional maintenance hiccups.

Rooms are often clean, comfortable, and simply updated, but several reviews mention very small showers, thin walls, dim lighting, or noisy/weak HVAC. The location is convenient for Monarch skiing and Salida’s river and downtown, with restaurants and the rec center nearby, though some rooms pick up road noise and the property isn’t right in the core. Service is frequently friendly and accommodating, though a few guests encountered curt front-desk interactions or key/lock issues. Expect a simple, pet-forward stay with relaxing soak options and some quirks typical of a renovated older motel.

The pool and hot tubs are wonderful, though some other guests rendered the hot tubs inoperable by being irresponsible. The pool and soaking tub were still warm. The staff here is very friendly and helpful—even when some guests are thoughtless. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. It is great that they welcome dogs. The breakfast has great coffee and a lot of cereal and toast options.

Overall the place was clean, quiet, and tidy. This is more of a first world problem. Our problem was the parking. Limited parking. Difficult to find a spot. And we had to leave early and they wanted the keys returned to front desk, but didn’t open until 730am. We left at 500am.

Our room was less than 50 yards from the busy US50 highway - traffic noise was minimal but noisier in the morning.Pathetic continental breakfast. NO HOUSEKEEPING SERVICES! (put your used bath towels and garbage outside your door; towels were NOT replenished.) Plastic cups vs glasses in room and "breakfast" area. Tiny bathroom, barely room to turn around, no bath safety mat. Broken TV remote, it mostly worked but the battery compartment cover kept falling off, told staff. In other words: You Get What You Pay For!!

This property is extremely outdated, the shower was so small I could barely fit in it- I've literally seen rv showers bigger (and I am a small person) the water pressure was laughable. The sheets on the bed were stained and had holes in them. It was hard to tell if the room was dirty or just old. The AC was loud, and barely worked. If the tv worked I couldn't figure it out. The ice machine was broken my entire stay (and appeared it had been broken for longer- no maintenance done at all while I was there). I had a room with a conjoining door and could hear every word the neighbors were saying so the room was loud. Oh, and the key cards disabled if they got near literally anything. Mine disabled multiple times per day despite my best efforts to try to prevent it.

We’ve stayed at The Loyal Duke many times in past years and this year. This stay brought a little disappointment as our room wasn’t as clean as before. Upon unloading our car I noticed what appeared to be dog hair all over the floor and on the couch. The floor didn’t appear to have been cleaned. The Duvet cover had a huge rip in the center and the fitted sheet had stains. The baseboards needed a good wipe down and behind the TV and microwave needed to be cleaned. The king bed was pretty broke down and should probably be replaced. I went to the desk and asked for a dust mop or broom. The office staff offered us another room but we had already unloaded. I said I would just sweep the floor and call it good. He gave me a broom and I swept the floor and we stayed in the room. In the past our rooms were always extremely clean. We had just stayed two weeks prior and the accommodations were clean and comfortable.

We anticipated a motor court style stay, but the photos were a bit misleading and the cleanliness of the hotel left a tremendous amount to be desired & shower was very small with little pressure, and ac didn’t work. Breakfast was definitely continental (bagels, packaged muffins, juice and milk, yogurt and boiled eggs (not always on ice). Finding someone to speak with someone to ask questions was impossible (requested texting only). Would not stay again.

Loyal Duke Lodge was great! Conveniently located on the edge of Salida. It was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. Morning coffee drinkers - make sure to ask for a single serve coffee maker when you check in. You could hear noise such as people moving around or televisions on. It was nothing crazy, but for light sleepers it might affect your sleep a bit. Overall, I would definitely stay there again. The few things I noted are not enough to keep me from me coming back.

We were in a king room, bed was way too soft, the air unit kept cutting on & off all night and it was very loud. No tissues in the bathroom, found some just as we were leaving shoved back in a dark shelf which is part of the only nightstand in the room. There’s only about 16” on the other side, of the bed next to the wall. Very dark room!

The location was convenient and close to town. Amenities were OK but nothing fancy. Beds were comfortable. Floors and sheets were clean. The bathroom has a 2‘ x 2‘ shower that nobody could actually even move around in. The water was in our faces and we could not move to wash our bodies because the walls were elbow to elbow. The bathroom was less to be desired. It had a little bit of a smell, and our faucet sink had no place to put stuff. The place doesn’t offer housekeeping. However, there was an envelope for a tip at the end of your stay? One of the staff members wasn’t very friendly and seemed like he couldn’t be too bothered. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Avoid unless you're just crashing for a few hours. The photos mainly show the reception area - big red flag. The actual rooms are dark, outdated, and incredibly basic. Floors were dirty throughout the property when we arrived. The biggest issue is noise. This place is completely unsuitable for anyone needing sleep. Three floors, cars parked right outside rooms, pet-friendly policy, and zero soundproofing means constant noise from other guests, car doors, and animals from late evening through early morning. We brought industrial earplugs and still couldn't sleep. For the price they charge, you expect much better. There are no redeeming features to justify the cost. Only book this if you're arriving very late and leaving very early and don't actually need to sleep. Otherwise, pay a bit more and stay somewhere that won't leave you exhausted

Nice little stop at a reasonable price for a business trip I needed a good night's sleep and a GOOD shower. The bathroom and shower were my only issues. The bathroom is just showing its age around the corners, which can make it look dirty, and I wonder if there's water damage you're sleeping next to. The shower itself is basically a closet... at 6'6, it was hard to turn around and get clean. Water pressure was an issue both times I used it as well.

This is the second time we've stayed at Royal Duke. The first time, we could not get into the room because a mechanic had the replace the door lock 45 minute wait. We thought it was a fluke. This time, we had two rooms, and neither door lock worked. The manager was very rude and finally had to come and let us in. She claimed it must be the cold, but hello, this is Salida during the winter. She also informed us there would be no breakfast because the guests from the previous weekend are all the food? What? They allow dogs and we found dog crap on the stairs and hallways. The upside is the beds are comfortable and the room was clean. The pillows leave a lot to be desired. We will be looking for a new place in Salida, since we come here often.

When we arrived, we were given a key to a room that would not work. When I went back down to the office to get it fixed, she made me wait even though the couple in front of me said that she could help me since I had already checked in and just needed a new key, but she told them that I needed to wait. Not sure why, but she was not very nice, She said there was nothing wrong with my key and sent me back on my way. I told her it did not work. She said she come up in a minute and help. She never did come up after about 10 minutes. She waved me back down to the office for the third time to give us a new room. No apologies , no accommodations made just your new key. I felt like we were a bother to her rather than a guest. Rooms are dated, the Continental breakfast was lacking for sure. Won’t stay there again.

They were able to accommodate us and move us to a 1st floor room. We have stayed here many times and it will continue to be our go to pick!
