Garden of the Gods Resort and Club
Overall I had a wonderful stay at the Garden of the Gods Resort. The customer service is exceptional. Depending on what room you’re in the walk to and from the lobby can be lengthy but the entire resort is a beautiful place to explore.

Beautiful, quiet, clean. It was a great downtown location close to hospital. Parking was a little hard to figure out.
