Reviews of this place are generally very positive, and deservedly so. There is the rare complaint about noise - which is likely very valid for some rooms. How to prepare yourself for an enjoyable stay here"

1. Complaints about noise from the railway track may be valid (and important unless you sleep like a log) if your room is on the eastern side of the hotel. Check this Wikimapia image map:

In the image map the hotel has the blue roof - the cursor in the center of the image map sits on the swimming pool in the central courtyard of the hotel. The grey strip ~50 meters to the east of the hotel, just off the parking lot, is a railway line that has fairly heavy traffic, including coal trains. We were on the SW corner of the hotel and could hear the trains - but they were not a bother for us in our location. But if you get the less costly suites (without separate bedroom) you may find yourself on the eastern side of the hotel, facing the tracks. You may wish to ensure that you're not assigned a room over there - unless you won't be disturbed by such noise (which is considerable, particularly when the trains are northbound, climbing the (modest but real) railway slope next to the hotel.

2. The hotel is a great value compared to more expensive suite hotels. However, corners that were cut in hotel construction (cheap structure - such as kitchen cabinets and closet doors), make me wonder about the long-term viability of this hotel. (Think of Fairfield Inn vs. "real" Marriott when you think of Summerfield Suites vs. "real" Hyatt?) The cabinets in our kitchen (with apparently cheap "euro-style" doors) have already been painted over (what rapid aging process caused that to be done?) - and the paint is chipping away already.

3. On the other hand, furnishings such as bedding and kitchen furnishings are of reasonable-to-high quality. You should be comfortable in your room. Bring your laptop with Netflix streaming video account, and hook it to the TV with a HDMI cable (bring one with you) if you'd like to go that route. At least, that was possible in our room. Some hotels charge some patrons extra for WiFi - it's apparently gratis for all guests here. The double-pane windows are supplemented by storm windows (making them effectively triple pane windows) open if you want them to, for good climate control (particularly facing away from the railway tracks).

3. Breakfast is not so sumptuous as at some other suite hotels. However, it was NOT merely sugar-laden donuts and danish, diluted only by coffee and juice. There are no eggs-to-order or waffles-to-order stations. But plain omelets, meat (e.g. bacon or sausage), french toast or waffles, a modest choice of breads, fresh and cut fruit, cereal, a choice of coffees and teas, etc. laid out buffet-style.

4. The evening refreshments (though only on Mondays-Thursdays), can constitute a moderate meal. A menu is posted in your room - and rotates on a 2-weekly basis. The nacho bar was better than this might imply, as was the spinach and artichoke dip and "fixins". So, after a fashion, you have two meals included in your room rate.

5. It might be worth noting that our room appears to have had a renovation since most TA and hotel Website photos were taken. Our kitchen cabinets have been painted (to cover hp what?) and the paint already showing signs of wear. The electric coil cook top in TA and hotel Website photos was replaced by a nice, clean, electric ceramic cook top (see our photo).

Our stay was very enjoyable - and yours can be too, if you position yourself well to avoid the noisy side of the hotel.

We've stayed in 5 different Colorado Springs hotels over the last 18 months....all of them in the 3 Star catagory. This hotel is also a three star, but is better than the others we've stayed in. First, check in was easy and the staff friendly. We got a room with a view to the south, near the train tracks. The room was a suite with a separate bedroom, two tvs, a kitchenette with full size refrigerator, plates, utensils, etc. The bed was a bit firm, but otherwise fine. The walls are thin; not enough to hear conversation, but you knew when they showered. Trains pass the hotel every hour 24/7. They aren't loud, but you can hear/feel the slight rumble as they go by. If you're a light sleeper, get a room away from the east side of the hotel. Frankly, it didn't bother us. The breakfast was quite good. Fruit, yogurt, sausage or bacon, breads, and egg dish, cereals, juices and coffee...all the normal breakfast items. We weren't around for the evening reception, so I can't comment on that. The health club consists of two stationary bikes, an elip trainer, dumbells and two treadmills. Not fancy, but the equipment was in good shape. (Just don't lift a dumbell above your head and take out the fan!) The pool was covered for the winter.
The staff were all very personable. We'd be happy to stay here again.

WE were looking for the best place we could go cheap and get away for teachers convention the end of October. We found cheap airfare to Denver and drove to Colorado Springs. The Hyatt Summerfield Suites was fantastic in almost every way. I'll save the one negative for last. Our room came with a small kitchen that we could cook in or just use the microwave and fridge. THe couch was huge and comfortable. THe location was easy to come and go from and the staff were super! We really enjoyed it! THe negative was the bed. It is a pillowtop mattress and the area next to the dresser had been sat on too much. It sagged greatly and was uncomfortable to sleep in. I had to put a pillow in the divot to keep from rolling into it.

Hotel is located close to railroad track and interstate. Train shake the whole building. Interstate traffic loud as well. Ear plug does not help. We left early since it could not tolerate loudness. Service was great.
