I stayed for one week at this motel during spring of 2011, It's a great place to stay, they have remodeled it and smells very nice, all the amenities i need it for my family were there like hair dryer, microwave, refrigerator. very close to the touring sites.

The place wouldn't be that bad..but the smell in the. Room was something awful, all the cloths smelled after we left...

We reserved a room for 5 nights thru Expedia.com, and I gave credit card info. People at reception were indifferent; their area and adjoining breakfast room smelled strongly of smoke. After 1st night, my companion and I tried to check out. Our room was too small for our king bed, was not clean, had bad smell, had bedbugs, etc. Also had dubious characters closeby: young couple in car smoking weed, guy arriving by taxi greeted by woman in very short skirt, etc. Woman at desk wouldn't give me a written statement. Said only Expedia could do so . Expedia billed for 5 nights, even after I told their woman (in Phillipines) we stayed 1 night. We moved to Holiday Inn and had 4 great nights plus good free breakfasts. Expedia-woman said, after my 3rd call, I would receive refund for 2 nights at the seedy Days Inn and I would receive, by e-mail, a $100 travel voucher. After 16 days, still no travel voucher. I advise travellers to avoid Days Inn, Colorado Springs, and use Expedia with caution.

We booked this hotel through Expedia, who should stop listing it as it is so bad. My 92-year old dad, along with various other relatives were planning on staying here, but checked out because the building upkeep was not good, the place smelled of cigarette smoke (partly due to a chain smoking desk clerk who smoked just outside of where you check in) and also the seedy people who clearly were living at the hotel. My father checked out early due to bed bugs and the "low life" hanging around that scared him and so did others. My husband and I stayed despite the problems, including a man who asked my husband if "he had something to drink" and who was shaking and suffering from delirium tremens. A desk clerk told me that the hotel had many people there for "extended stays" -- particularly during the winter. I got the impression that this hotel was part of a solution to help the homeless. While I have a kind heart, this is not the kind of place that you want to stay in on a trip. It's run down, the clerks could be more helpful and you might be scared because of the various types hanging about the place.
