A good place in Colorado Springs
Pros:

The breakfast is excellent. They have scrambled eggs, potatoes, toast, cereal, and other choices. I stayed for three nights and was allowed a free omelet at their omelet station. The room was clean and quiet, and the hotel was near several restaurants. It is just off the highway, so you can get to where you are going very easily.

Cons:

Their restaurant is open for dinner, and I was not impressed. They did not have many choices. I ordered a burger and fries and the fries were overcooked and bland. If you come here, eat somewhere else. There are plenty of places nearby.

We loved it overall all!
Pros:

I loved it overall. The cleanliness, the location that is so close to everything we wanted to do on vacation, the price is amazing and the staff was very accommodating.

Cons:

The breakfast could last until most of the food is gone. We woke up early on vacation and have a 3 year old so we got to breakfast at 9 and was denied even though there were 4 full serving containers of food. We went and spent 70$ on breakfast instead of the breakfast that was included in our stay.

The room smelled a bit like old food.

Disappointing
Pros:

The room was decent

Cons:

Restaurant wasn’t open as posted. Breakfast was not very good. No fruit, no yogurt! No green space for pets. Small strip of grass only , by the highway. Lots of trash around the property. A lot of homeless around the property. No coffee or drinks available except at breakfast. Vending machines are credit card only.

Pros:

Room size and bed comfort.

Cons:

The last few times we were there it was in so much cleaner and in better shape. The curtains in the room were all torn and dirty. The grout in the tub was not clean. The hotel just seemed in disarray. We stay there because of the quality and were disappointed this time.

Pros:

La hall è davvero scenografica.

Cons:

Personale frettoloso e poco disponibile.
La camera era di buone dimensioni, ma il bagno era piccolo poco pulito e con un forte odore di urina.
La colazione da dimenticare: scarna e con dolci non freschi. Mancava anche lo yogur!
Inoltre il pavimento dell''area della colazione era attaccaticcio sotto le scarpe.
Decisamente poco igienico.
Esperienza egativa, di bello c'è solo la hall con piscina.

Pros:

Duży pokój, było czysto, mimo kiepskich opinii na google. Fakt hotel swoje lata ma i wymaga solidnego remontu, ale za tą cenę nie ma sie co czepiać. Na jedną, dwie nocki moze być.

Cons:

Wymaga remontu
