Travel tips
A car is recommended, since attractions like Garden of the Gods (5.3 miles), Pikes Peak, and The Broadmoor are several miles away and best reached by driving off I-25. Arrive close to your official check-in time, as at least one guest reported being charged extra for arriving hours early. Take advantage of the free hot breakfast served in the lobby each morning, and confirm current pet policies directly with the hotel given mixed guest reports on this point.
