I was there for a few days for business. It is family owned and under a lot of renovation. My room was good to go, the rest of the place is being re done one floor one room at a time. It is very reasonably priced and the staff are all about helping you out to make sure things are taken care of during your stay. Its quiet out of the way and right next to a pretty good Mexican Restaurant.

I live just about a hundred miles south of Springs, my boyfriend and I were just getting away for our one year anniversary, and we had a small budget so what really mattered to me was the price, which was $35 for a single King smoking room on the second floor with a balcony in January. And, like the title says, I got what I paid for. The first thing we noticed is this hotel is actually Quite difficult to get to. All of Springs is kinda like that, but just the way the roads are set up, you better be coming off the 1-25 from the North if you want the easiest way to get to the hotel. Otherwise, it'll take you a while to try and figure out how to get there. When we finally arrived, the lady behind the desk was very smiley and kind to us, although I don't think she speaks fluent English. The hallway leading up to our room was under renovation, but nothing that was too inconvenient....they were just re-tiling. The room however was a pretty sad sight. The balcony was pretty cool, but the TV has some mystery white substance on it, there was no ashtray until we asked her for one, the toilet had problems flushing, and the bottom of the shower was....for lack of a better definition.... squishy. The room also had a room service menu that was out-of-date, we almost ordered food that was twice as much as the menu said it would be. But, like I said, the front desk clerk was nice, and there were no unwanted disturbances. So, like I said. Definitely $35 worth.

Gave this place a great review the first time I stayed HOWEVER... that was last winter. Stayed there again this past summer & the staff was only ok this time. We asked to have the same sweet as the first time we stayed & very rude would not give it to us, no one else had it yet! We ended up with a small cramped dirty room. Next day we asked for a late check out & the (wife) owner was nasty to him & told him we HAD to leave, they are busy! Will only stay there again if I want a place to eat, drink & not have to drive to a hotel.

The Days Inn on Garden of the Gods/Rusina Rd is by far my favorite hotel to stay at when I am in Colorado Springs. The price of the rooms is quite reasonable and will fit easily into any budget, and the rooms are never anything short of clean. Each room has plenty of amenities, so you don't need to worry about paying a low rate, only to find out that something is missing. There are even plenty of little extras like a coffee pot and coffee in each room, not to mention that the view of the mountains from many of the rooms is amazing; you get a breathtaking look at the Garden of the Gods rock formations that give the nearby road its name. The staff are nothing short of fantastic, and any need that you might have, day or night, they will take care of it for you,. Overall this hotel provides a great experience for half the price that most hotels charge. Looking over some of the other reviews written by half-literate troglodytes, I can only assume that they were complaining in order to try to get a free night! I have stayed here many times, and wouldn't even consider going anywhere else whenever I'm in town!
