MODERN MOTEL, Colorado Springs

The motel is centrally located on the periphery of downtown, putting you within a short walk of several dining and drinking options - Loyal Coffee, The Green Line Grill, Denver Biscuit Company, Iron Bird Brewing, and others are all within 0.5 km. The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is a 6-minute walk, and major attractions like Garden of the Gods and Cheyenne Mountain are a short drive away. Colorado Springs Airport is 11 km from the property. The immediate downtown area has a noticeable homeless population, and the motel does not have security monitoring; leaving valuables visible in a parked car is not recommended. Free private parking is available on site - a practical advantage in a busy downtown area where street parking can be scarce.

Room types include double rooms (one double bed), quadruple rooms (two beds), and a two-bedroom suite (three beds), all with private bathrooms featuring a bath, shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a flat-screen TV with cable. Free WiFi (2G and 5G) is available in rooms. While many units have been recently remodelled and are described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, some rooms are older and show wear - possible issues include worn bathroom floors, low water pressure, smoky odours, noisy air conditioning, and mould in shower curtains. Paper-thin walls and ceilings mean noise from neighbours and loud music can be a problem. Road-facing rooms may be less suitable for light sleepers. No daily housekeeping is provided unless requested.

The motel provides free coffee in the lobby every morning from 7 to 10:30 AM; on Saturdays and Sundays, Dunkin Donuts are also offered. There is no restaurant, bar, or full breakfast service on the property. Given the downtown location, a wide variety of dining options are within a short walk - The Green Line Grill, Denver Biscuit Company, China Town Restaurant, Iron Bird Brewing, and several other restaurants and cafés are within 0.5 km. For those arriving by car, fast-food chains like Arby's are also nearby. Planning to eat out for most meals is a practical expectation.

The property offers an outdoor terrace with furniture and a fireplace seating area, plus BBQ grills available for use. There is no swimming pool, spa, sauna, or fitness centre. The motel's downtown location puts Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods within a short drive for hiking and outdoor recreation. The outdoor seating area is frequently used by both short-term and long-term residents, and smoking is permitted throughout the outdoor space, which can create a smoky atmosphere.

Free private parking is available on site with no reservation needed - a significant advantage in downtown Colorado Springs. Free WiFi is available in rooms (both 2G and 5G bands). Laundry facilities are available for an additional charge. Check-in is from 1 PM (early check-in possible), and check-out is at 10:30 AM. The office is staffed 7-11 AM and 2-10 PM; late arrivals must pre-arrange with the office and receive instructions. Daily housekeeping is not provided automatically - towels and soap may not be replenished unless requested. Pets are allowed on request with possible charges (documentation required for service animals). Accepted payment methods include American Express, Visa, and MasterCard; a cash deposit is required when paying with cash. The motel has key access and smoke alarms but no extra safety locks on doors. The staff is often described as friendly and helpful, though management has been reported as unprofessional and hostile in certain situations.
