The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs
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
Everything was fine. The person that checked us in seemed to be having a bad day possibly? Unfortunately I had a slight issue with my card and they were patient but you could tell they were annoyed.
