HAMPTON INN COLORADO SPRINGS I-25 CENTRAL, Colorado Springs

The hotel sits just off I-25 on the north side of Colorado Springs, placing Garden of the Gods (14 km), Palmer Park (11 km), Pikes Peak, and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo within a short drive. The Air Force Academy is minutes away. The immediate area is packed with dining options - Chipotle, Wendy's, Thai Basil, Donatos Pizza, and many more are within 0.5 km. A Walmart is across the street, and a Target is around the corner. The lot is well-lit and adjacent to a police station, adding a strong sense of safety. Free on-site parking is generous and requires no reservation.

Rooms range from spacious double queens and kings to quadruple rooms, all with air conditioning, heating, a tea and coffee maker, ironing facilities, and free toiletries. King rooms add a sofa and often provide mountain views; some double-queen rooms have one firm and one soft bed. Bathrooms are large and feature walk-in showers in King rooms or tub/shower combos in double queens. Flat-screen TVs include streaming app access, and Wi-Fi is free. The property was built about 5 years ago and has a contemporary, clean design. Some rooms have been noted as quiet, though upper-floor hallway noise can carry. Mountain views are available from many rooms.

The free breakfast buffet runs from 6 AM to 10 AM and includes hot items that change daily - eggs or omelettes, bacon or sausage, potatoes, and themed waffles (occasionally red velvet with chocolate chips). Cold offerings include fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, bagels, scones, boiled eggs, juices, and coffee. The breakfast area is well-stocked by attentive staff. A snack bar sells additional items, and coffee and tea are available in the lobby throughout the day. There is no on-site bar, but numerous restaurants are a short walk away.

The indoor pool is heated and open year-round from 8 AM to 10 PM, with pool/beach towels and sun loungers provided. The hot tub is large and includes a top step suitable for toddlers to sit safely.
