Travel tips
Since the motel is just off Interstate 25, it's an easy, quick-access stop for travelers driving between destinations like the Rocky Mountains and areas further south, such as the sand dunes. A car is recommended, as most attractions, including Garden of the Gods and the Air Force Academy, are several miles away and best reached by road. Guests planning to use the on-site laundry or kitchenette should bring quarters and basic supplies, as these are self-service, coin-operated facilities.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed but centers on a few recurring themes. Many reviewers praise the friendly, helpful staff and appreciate the convenient location near shops, stores, and regional attractions, with some noting recently remodeled rooms and a spacious dog area. On the downside, several guests report inconsistent upkeep, including worn bathrooms and at least one incident of a leaking refrigerator causing water damage in a room, and overall impressions frame the property as a basic, no-frills value option rather than a polished stay.
