Embassy Suites by Hilton Colorado Springs
They are currently updating the hotel but our stay was wonderful. Hopefully they are planning on renovating the pool and hot tub area. It was extremely dingy. Other than that our room was wonderful, breakfast was delicious and the happy hour was nice. The bartenders were wonderful.
