Great value

It was everything most people need in a motel room, and very little they don't. In short, it is 80-90% as good as a room that costs twice as much. Try to get a room on the west side: you can see the sunset glow around Pike's Peak and it is glorious.

Fun time for two

The room was clean and in fairly good condition. The tub was not. It was pitted and patched with pieces breaking off in the water. The light over the sink was very dim, which made shaving and applying makeup quite a challenge. However, the rest of the room was more than adequate. It was a good room for the value.

Good location, good value

A clean hotel with all the basic amenities, great location in northern Colorado Springs near I-25. Friendly, helpful staff. Free breakfast included juice, coffee, hot waffles, muffins. Not a luxury hotel by any means, but my wife and I were quite satisfied with our experience.

Wedding trip

Will never stay at a HoJo again. The staff was rude. I had a prepaid hotel room, and they threatned to give my room away if I didn't make it from the wedding celebration before midnight, even though I told they I may be there after midnight. The bed was uncomfortable. The sheets thin as rice paper. Old television. Not worth what I paid for it.

Filled our needs, priced right.

The staff was excellent. Our GPS put us about two miles to the north of the motel. We called and they were able to guide us to the motel with ease. The staff said that GPS needs to be corrected because it creates a lot of hard feelings. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. One of the guests (a young boy) put it very well "slim pickins" We will definitly stay at Howaard Johnson's again in spite of the breakfast.

great room but far from the city

It was a decent hotel at the price which I holed. Rooms were clean but not hotel. All basic amenities were there. Hotel staff need more smiling faces. Breakfast was really good.
