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.

Spark by Hilton Colorado Springs I 25 Central
The room and hotel itself were pretty nice, my only complaint was the breakfast menu. There were no hot items to choose from and the fridge for the yogurt wasn’t working.
