Holiday Inn Express & Suites Colorado Springs Central by IHG
The staff was great from check-in to breakfast and checking out. Only issue was the television didn’t work. Location was just what we needed for our activities. Price through Expedia was a great price point. Thank you.

The Academy Hotel Colorado Springs
Very nice hotel. Breakfast buffet really needs to include bacon and the ham tasted like they heated up sandwich meat. I would appreciate some warm crunch with my breakfast.
