This was a super hotel. The rooms were large, very clean, and comfortable. The bar has a pool table and the area outside the bar can seat a large crowd. The breakfast was an added surprise..omelets made to order, a variety of choices. There is an indoor poo also.
Recommend this property highly!

Lobby looks good but as you enter the hallways you can plainly see that maintenance is very much lacking. Carpets need cleaning or replace, doors and door frames need painting. Our room had a lot of wear and tear. Rusting of fixtures, wall grills, toilet paper holder…etc.
rips in wallboard and gouges not fixed. Duct tape to “fix” the shade, old and worn lamp shades. Smoke alarm kept going off. Someone burned popcorn. Hmmm
We stayed here 2 years ago and they blamed it on covid. Restaurant was good, great help!! Mattress very comfortable.

Slow, unreliable wifi. As a remote worker I need decent wifi. If I don’t get this my stay will not be acceptable.

The rooms are updated but the hotel is old and it shows. The breakfast is not great so I went somewhere else. The walls are also thin. I heard too much from the room next door.

The hotel was gorgeous! The lobby is beautiful and at night they turn the lighs down and the mood is super relaxing. The pool area is clean and beautiful. The rooms were clean and nice and the beds were comfortable. I will definitely be staying here any time I have to be in Colorado Springs.

Clean, comfortable hotel with a wonderful breakfast. The bathroom in our room needed some work (doorknob falling off, tiles falling off beside toilet) and the roll down room darkening shades need to be replaced. Otherwise, the room was great. The Keurig had an array of coffee, tea and cocoa so our whole family had something to enjoy. The room was also quiet. The front desk staff was very friendly. The breakfast selection was good, but the made to order omelets were amazing.

This place is pretty good especially for families. Please note that there where hypodermic needles in the parking lot. Rooms where good sized, clean and seemed well kept. Two issues here, please update your photos for the hotels.com website. Also it was new years eve and they didn't extend the dinner or lounge service. We weren't even able to get any food an hour before posted closing time 9PM when we arrived an hour prior to closing. Also on new years day they kept the regular breakfast hrs. Stopping at 9AM. Really? couldn't even extend to the weekend hrs closing at 10AM? So dumb! Staff was honest and pleasant. But because of the limited hrs of operation we were not able to enjoy most of the amenities offered. Best buffet breakfast, better than any other experienced on this trip. Get some better security and if you do have a lounge it should probably be open later than 9PM. When it's not you invite the riff-raff. Hypodermic needles in the parking lot.

The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The atrium, plants, fountains, etc. are so welcoming and gorgeous. The room was good but my shower curtain smelled strongly of mildew and was tattered and very worn.

Love the hotel this has been our 4th time staying one thing that needs to be fixed is the sound proof rooms. I slept okay until 5:30am when I got woken up from the neighbors they had their tv up
So loud it woke me up. I’m glad it didn’t wake up my kids. Fell back to sleep af 6:30 just to be woken up at 8am with them playing their violin. Other then that the stay was good

Beautiful building. Great staff. Great breakfast. Beds comfortable. Heating system could use some help. Had a hard time regulating the temperature. Rooms are older and could use upgrades but for the price it was great. We will stay there again.

We were so incredibly impressed by this property. I have travelled about twice a month out of state to work for about 5 years, and rarely take the time to rate hotels. But especially the quality for what you get is amazing. There is a hot omelet and other fresh food for breakfast included in the price, and a ton of light in the main atrium. We came here the night we had our second baby, and stayed for a week, because it is close to the birthing center. They have a great little social place by the fireplace with several couch sets for families to meet and socialize out of the bedrooms. The bedrooms are also pretty large, with big windows, and the staff was noteworthy. We finally asked about management, and they said it had been family run since it started- lots of staff have been there for years, lady who checked us in had been there for 20 years. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way (late for breakfast... they started the omelet skillet up again, checking in on a level without an elevator? (needed one for wheelchair for first 2 days)... they moved us to a room 3 doors from an elevator. But even more, as we would be walking around, people would call us by our names, our individual names, including our new little arrival. So personal and well managed and a beautiful place to stay, and very central. PS. for those with kids- monkey business is literally next door walking distance.

We've stayed here before and had a great experience, the beds are very comfortable. However this time we got a room on the interior first floor which had a window with a curtain that looked out into the hotel lobby. This "window" turned out to be a "permanently locked" sliding glass door. This made us uncomfortable but we figured it was one night, we'd suck it up. Not 5 feet from the window of our room was a set of couches facing a fireplace. All we could hear was people talking and people splashing around in the pool. We should have asked to switch rooms. We were kept up until midnight with people talking outside our window and woke up at 5am with voices once again outside our window. Unfortunately we will not be choosing this hotel again.

The hot tub hasn’t been open in 8 years even though your website lists it having one. After our long car ride, it was very disappointing and too late to cancel our room. The beds were hard, the shower only had a small trickle of water, not sound proof as we could hear everything happening in the rooms around us, heater turned to max level snd still had to wear heavy clothes to stay warm, the breakfast was cold and appeared to be reheated from the day before, the o stall experience was terrible. I don’t usually do the survey but this required telling others don’t stay here.

In our first floor room, the blind did not go all the way down so it left a 2' gap open. I put coats and pillow to cover this.

Great customer service during checkin and breakfast. However room had quite a few repairs or things wrong. Curtain was stained or burned in many spots. Headboard looked liked someone used for throwing a knife practice. Love hotel and location just outdated and needs repairs.

Love this property. Sometimes, I'm assuming if they have time, they'll give you a bag with snacks and a $10 coupon for the diner, but sometimes they don't.

Property was outdated, cleanliness was passable not great. Mattress was in hallway for two days. Location was good and there was a great selection of restaurants around. OK for a short stay. Would make other selection if ever back in area.
