The property and rooms were clean and updated which was nice. The check-in process was lengthier than at other hotels. I had to fill out a form with my address etc. Also I asked for late checkout and was told I couldn’t be given it unless I provided my email and signed up for their membership program. That was disappointing. I don’t mind paying extra for late checkout, but I don’t want to have to sign up for a program just for late checkout.

Beds Great

The bed was comfortable, king, and it is all about the bed for me. Linens are nice. We had a view of Pikes Peak from our windows. Staff helpful. Free breakfast had many offerings and hot eggs, bacon/sausage, biscuits and gravy. Good location for restaurants and more.
