Pros

Bilingual staff speaking English and Spanish at 24-hour front desk

Multiple dining options within 0.5 miles including Starbucks, Jersey Mike's Subs, and Cheddar's

Front range mountain views visible from property

Complimentary self-parking on flat terrain

Cons

21.5 miles distance from Colorado Springs Airport

Seasonal outdoor pool only open April through November

“While some found welcoming staff and clean facilities, others reported issues with cleanliness and room amenities; experiences seem inconsistent. Thin walls and slow internet also detract, but the friendly front desk receives consistent praise. Proceed with caution, as quality control appears variable.”
