Really not a nice spot.
Wasn’t expecting a lot for the price but the room smelled badly of smoke. The area is very gross with people shooting up outside.
My friend and I decided to drive two hours home vs stay overnight here.

The staff were friendly and helpful. However, there were no pans, dishes, or utensils to use in the kitchenette room. No coffe pot and the one they gave after asking had a short in it. The king bed was worn down and uncomfortable. Floors needed serious mopping. The hotel is rougher side of a town.

I highly recommend staying here. The rooms are clean, pretty spacious and have a homey feel to them. And it definitely helps that the people that work here are amazing. They staff definitely care about the guests, the environment and making it a place you want to come back to. And they definitely work hard to make it a quiet and safe environment. They have restored hope for myself, that there are still cool and genuine people out there, these days that’s hard to find, especially in hospitality.

Not all rooms have a garden view, website is misleading. This is your typical cheap motel. We had to wait over half an hour for check in because no one was in the office. I was approached by a man and aggressively asked why I was squinting (medical issues) anyway, the beds are cheap, but I never felt unsafe and for the price they charge its acceptable. OH the bathroom door wasnt on the rails and I got trapped several times

I will admit I was skeptical because as others stated it looks like a sketchy neighborhood but we found it very friendly. This is a traditional old Motel some rooms are probably small, however our room was very spacious with a full size fridge, coffee maker & stove. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly & helpful. We were within walking distance to the Labor Day lift off festivities, we walked the mile there & back and never felt unsafe. The parking is definitely tight.

The main office reeked of cigarette smell, the woman at the desk was very nice. However, once we got to our room, we knew within minutes that we could not stay the night. The cigarette smell was overwhelming. There were beetles on the walls and the be seemed like it was taken from a dumpster nearby into our room. The bedspread had cigarette holes in it. The thermostat didn't work, nor was there a cover on it. There's a generic air conditioner in the window. However, the window is not sealed so bugs are easily allowed in. The door to the bathroom didn't work overall. Bad mistake...I lost a $109 just to drive back up to Denver
For nothing. I turned my key back in 20 minutes after check in. The woman at the desk asked if there was a problem. I said \"yeah there's beetles on the wall\". She said \"sorry thank you\". We left immediately after that.

This place was horrible. I booked this because of location, but ended up checking out shortly after checking in. The smell of weed was nauseating. There was no lock on the window and no shampoo. The bed sheets were stained. The motel is part of a storage unit property. The woman at check-in was pleasant, but that is all I can say that is nice about the property.

Beware! All the photos are set up to hide how scary this place is. It’s in a bad part of town and all the other patrons live there and are very scary. They were talking about my husband when they didn’t know I could hear and were looking in our car windows and circling it. Could hear people rattling the fence behind our unit as well. We did not stay the night for our safety. Should have known when the office was locked with bars and had pit bull on chains. Even if we had stayed there was pee in the toilet and a shocking amount of food in the floor. Tried to talk to Expedia about it and they didn’t care. Also called the motel several times and they won’t call us back. Which is not surprising as the front desk woman told us “don’t worry it’s not as dangerous as it looks, just don’t leave your room!”

Dirty, smelly, doesn’t feel safe.

The pictures do not remotely represent the actual property. I thought it looked cute and retro, but it is run down and dirty. It’s supposed to be nonsmoking (with signs about being fined) but our room reeked of smoke. We ended up sleeping in our clothes because we didn’t trust the sheets to be clean, the blanket was stained and dirty (as shown in the picture). I will give them credit that the bathroom was clean at least.

We honestly would not have stayed there once we saw it, but it was late when we got in and we had to be up early and didn’t have the energy to find a new place or try to fight them for a refund. For the life of me I don’t understand how it has as high of a rating as it does.

Finally, people were walking past our room and the area didn’t feel safe. Not really their fault but something to consider. We have stayed at cheap motels all of the country now, so it isn’t like we had 4 star expectations, and this is the first bad review I’ve ever left. There must be better options in Colorado Springs.

If you don't like deposits and like cold.

Hotels.com actually had messed up. My reservation so when I got there I didn't have a reservation. But the lady still allowed me to get a room then she booked me to a room. Somebody was already in then she gave me even a better room but she said she would price match. She charged me $65 originally for the room that I wanted but she gave me the bigger room and made me feel like she was just doing me a favor because she had messed up. But really she end up charging me $78 and didn't even tell me that she was charging me extra which I thought wasn't very cool. The OnePlus is that there's no deposit, so if you don't like Dylan with deposits then this is probably your best bet. But there's not very much room for parking. It sucks and the rooms were very cold and it took a long time for the heat to come on.

Would not recommend, not even for 1 night.

Two concerns:
First, the room smelled like it had been smoked in for the past 70 years and only recently became non-smoking. We thought we could handle it, but it was nauseating. Second, the bed was just a pop up bed. Extremely uncomfortable. We honestly contemplated getting up and driving home half way through the night. We will not be returning.

I didn’t stay there due to the horrendous, cigarette smoke and poor customer service and treatment. I was told I would only be refunded for one day, but have yet to be refunded. Anything at all do not stay there at all. There are better affordable accommodations elsewhere, plus I think the property is running a scam where they want to charge you $250 for cigarette smoke but yet the whole property already smells like smoke so how are they able to even decipher that seems like a scam to me!
