TownePlace Suites Colorado Springs Garden of the Gods

Its absolutely amazing here

Location. Room 116. Heater in hallway on other side of wall made a vibration all night on wall by bed.

The beds in the rooms are comfy but the sofa bed in the living room is not. There's no full length mirror besides in the bathroom area which makes it tough for 4 women to get ready at the same time. We borrowed a rice cooker from the front desk that was dirty and scratched up. Frying pan in kitchen was also scratched up and barely enough utensils available. Breakfast had enough variety and staff were friendly.

I was traveling with family through Colorado Springs and decided to stay at the Crown Plaza Suites at Garden of the Gods for their 2 bedroom suites.

Clean, comfortable, well maintained, quiet, and away from the Co Springs congestion. LOTS of things to do and see in the area. Not a big selection of restaurants but sufficient. only saw a couple homeless people hanging about once otherwise looked very safe.

I love that the hotel room we stayed in has a newly renovated bathroom and walk-in shower instead of a tub that I personally di not use, and they put refillable body wash, shampoo & conditioner on the shower wall. The beat hair dryer I have seen in a hotel room, too.

Paid $300 for two nights and nobody cleaned our room. Had to go get coffee packets, tissues and TP ourselves. Nice desk and breakfast staff though. No other complaints.

The Good: Room has kitchen with full size refrigerator/freezer, stove and oven, microwave, sink, dish washing supplies. There is a Safeway grocery store across the intersection so this is a great place to stay if you want to make your own meals. Also a couple quick serve restaurants (Chipotle and Panda Express) plus a couple full serve restaurants (Black Bear Diner and Marigold Cafe) within one block. Queen bed was very comfortable. Bathroom has combo shower and tub (which I like) and sink inside bathroom (which I prefer to sinks outside). Only about a ten minute drive from Garden of the Gods (which is why I chose this hotel). The Bad: Main street has no entrance to hotel and you have to access it through an obscure rear street/alley. Also no large signs so hotel is hard to find. Low impact commercial area is safe but not scenic; not a place to go for a walk. Television was on when I checked in (with a welcome message) but when I turned it off it immediately turned back on and it took several tries to keep it off. Desk lamp was on when I checked in and it took a while to find off switch, which was on the cord hanging underneath the desk. My room had a connecting door to next room and the sound from the next room’s television came through on the first night. (Thankfully room seemed to be empty second and third night). Room window faced a commercial building and gas station and on first morning someone there was yelling intermittently beginning at 5am.

The customer service at this hotel is about the best I’ve had, even when compared to much larger or expensive hotels.
