Great staff. Clean rooms. All needed soaps and shampoos. Excellent custom made omelets every morning. I’ve been staying here for about 20 years whenever I come to COS. Thanks for another great stay.

Quality Inn and Suites Garden of the Gods
Check in was good. The only thing I noticed was that the soap bar holders in the shower had soap residue from previous guests. My husband felt the bed’s were hard. Great location, though.

Spark by Hilton Colorado Springs I 25 Central
The room was fine though the lack of a carpet was a bit offputting. The plowing of the lot at 430 AM was disturbingly loud, and the breakfast was skimpy. But an excellent value for the money.
