Needed a place to sleep for one night

Friendly staff, but kind of a dump. Room in bad shape. Furniture worn and cheap, bathroom needs attention, and towels are thinner and frayed and look worse than the rags I use for cleaning at home. Price was $29 - haven't seen anything this low in a decade

Never charged for using safe before!

When checking in I was asked for a credit card imprint for "incidentals". I asked what this might cover and was told it was all outlined in the contract--1 signature and about 5 initials required. Categories were: damage-OK, phone calls-OK, not returning the key-OK and then $1.50 unless we specifically told staff at checkout we didn't use the safe-never encountered that one before. Towels were thin and all had holes, sheets were so worn they were transparent and the single blanket was stiff and therefore removed from the bed. Complex layout requires exit to exterior room entrance from the central building for most rooms. There are some interior access rooms but in the minority. This design seems a questionable choice for Colorado.

A wonderful vacation spot!

The hotel was located within 15-20 minutes of everything we had planned to see while in Colorado Springs. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance or just a short drive. The hotel was older. We had requested a non-smoking room but the room smelled strongly of smoke. The front desk staff was not very friendly and they were never at the desk when we had questions. But overall, it was a great vacation.

Great for price

It was a good, comfortable room for the price. No frills, but that's what I'm looking for.
