Travel tips
Guests arriving without a car can use the Lamar Pilot bus station just over 500 meters away or Lamar Station train station about 1.3 km from the hotel, both within easy walking distance. Since Pueblo Memorial Airport is over 100 miles away, travelers flying in should plan for a lengthy drive or arrange ground transportation in advance.

What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the quality of the free breakfast, and the friendliness of the staff, including positive experiences even during late-night check-ins. The comfortable king beds and the indoor pool and hot tub also receive frequent favorable mentions, with several reviewers noting they return annually because of past positive stays. A recurring complaint, however, involves noise from street traffic and people talking outside at night, which some guests found disruptive to sleep.
