Room was Ok. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Furniture was worn. Shower Curtain rod was not working well but plenty of hot water and shower head had plenty of pressure. Burnt out bulb in bathroom. Towels replaced most days but bed not made. Breakfast was nothing special. Same everyday. No orange juice. Items that ran out were not replaced in timely manner making choices even more limited.

Marcia, Colorado Springs

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you need a cheap, quick overnight stay this is a good choice. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was mostly clean and offered a good selection of breakfast items included. Bed was older but comfortable. However the pool heater was out, the gym equipment was broken (all of it) and the amenities, and noise from the surrounding rooms was easily heard. They are due for a remodel very soon I was told. Appears to be a recent brand name that got bought out by independent. Would not recommend for a longer stay or vacation.

I had to call the front desk to understand how to start the shower. For those who are also unenlightened you must pull down hard on the bathtub faucet head to get it to work.
