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.

The hair dryer should be removed from the bathroom door as it hits the wall removing drywall onto the floor.

Incorrect room and meh overall

Booked a specific room thru Hotels.com only to check in and find I had been switched to a different kind of room that was smaller. Went to the desk to ask to be switched to the correct room type and found another guest at the desk with the exact same issue. The manager was kind and apologetic but ultimately we got stuck with the smaller room I did not book. Had two TVs in the room and only one remote which worked on neither. Had to call front desk twice before someone came up and was in our room probably at least 15 minutes before getting both TVs working. Rather than a seamless check in we spent probably at least 45 minutes sorting thru issues that shouldn’t have been issues. Staff was friendly and apologetic throughout but it was still disappointing. Only had 3 towels in the room despite being clear we had 4 guests so we got to make another trip to the desk later. Bunk beds we ended up with only had fitted sheets put on and I had to make them up with the top sheet and blanket. Hotel was pretty clean but wasn’t to my perfectionist standards. Dusty behind TVs, hair that wasn’t ours on towels, bottom of tub and corners of bathroom just had old grime that needed scrubbed. It was a little noisy being near the stairs and could definitely hear people above us. Probably wouldn’t choose this hotel again. Had pretty views though!

Poor Hospitality

The 2 ladies at the front desk were not very hospitable. They sounded as if somebody forced them to talk to the guests or even work there. We had specifically made a reservation for a room with 1 King Bed, but that was not honored and we were given a different room, which had very less space to walk around. The lighting in the room was terrible, some didn’t even work. When asked to change the room one of the 2 ladies on the reception denied saying that there were no other rooms available, which to me didn’t sound really convincing at all. Although the guy making the breakfast was very polite and seemed like the only one interested in doing his job.
