Since this used to be a Comfort Inn we made a reservation, after plenty of good experiences at Comfort Inns throughout Colorado. This place was not good. Got in around 10 pm and the front desk clerk was literally sleeping (laying down) on the couch in the lobby. Our room was clean, but smelled horrible - and it didn't seem clean because things were stained and badly worn. We ended our stay at this place after only one night and switched to another hotel.

Our car broke down ten miles outside of Canon City so we unexpected had to stay the night. This hotel's staff really went out of their way to help us out. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and there was a nice pool, too. The breakfast was nice and the kids appreciated the waffles. We'd stay again - though hopefully with an operating car!

While the room was adequately clean and comfortable enough, it certainly did not live up to its nearly $90 price tag. The furnishings are Choice Hotel's old laminate "dorm style" and could use some updating, and corners could do with some vacuuming. The view from our room's rear-facing window was possibly the worst that I've ever had in a motel: an alley's width distance to the rear-end of a defunct commercial building. The motel's location is convenient to the Main Street, although the only business that was open on the September evening we were there was a pizza joint. If you're going on the Royal Gorge Scenic Railway, the Comfort Inn couldn't be closer, as it's right across the street from the depot. The Royal Gorge Bridge is only a short drive away.

I have no complaints about the service at the hotel. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The room was typical for a Comfort Inn but the carpet and tub should be replaced. We were on the front side of the hotel and street and train traffic were noisy throughout the night. Breakfast was also typical, but when I looked out the window of the small breakfast room I saw an old mattress and box springs sitting in the alley! If you continue south through town there are more abd better hotel choices.
