Finding hotels during USAFA Parents' Weekend is a challenge. After staying in various less-than-satisfactory hotels over the years, we decided to try the Clarion. The room was just what we needed. It was a suite of generous size, if not a bit unusually shaped (perhaps because it was in a corner of the building), with a fold-out sofa bed and a king. That isn't really the source of the problem. On one of our outings, I noticed several signs in the parking lot, to the effect that "management is not responsible for damage," but thought nothing of it. Unfortunately, we learned the hard way. On Sunday morning, we found that the rear window of my son's pickup truck was smashed. The damage seemed malicious because there clearly was nothing of value in the truck. Perhaps tainted from this experience, we began to notice that the hotel sits next to a residential area that may have seen better economic times. One could argue that this sort of thing might happen anywhere, but the signs in the parking lot suggest that the hotel's management is aware of the security problem.

We stayed at this hotel for one full week. The entire staff was excellent. They were friendly, professional, helpful and just made us feel at "home". The facility is spacious and beautifully decorated, the rooms are comfortable, beds were comfortable with good pillows (pillows usually have something to be desired at most hotels). Services and amenities were everything we needed. From computers with printers, faxing and copying. The hot breakfasts included with the stay were delicious. The indoor pool was beautiful and a joy to use almost everyday. The location is perfect being walking distance from downtown Colorado Spings and close driving distance to most attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Clarion. Thank you Andrea, Tadz, Brandon, Shannon, Toni and Darlene for making our stay so enjoyable. And our complements to the chefs for great meals and who took the time to come out and meet the guests. We will be back.

stayed 7 days over christmas 2008. Had the staff almost to ourselves. T shared valuable info about nearby eateries, helped us know where to shop. M catered to our breakfast needs as if we were his only clients. Hotel is within walking distance of the Tejon St restaurant area and the Monument valley riverwalk. Ok so we were biased. the Springs is home for us and we felt very comfortable in the downtown atmosphere. Will stay again.

The front lobby and entrance of the hotel is very nice, marble floors, waterfall, very updated. However, as you walk down the hallway toward the elevator the ambiance completely changes. The carpets is snagged, frayed and dirty. The walls are filthy. The elevator looked like a janitorial closet stuck in the corner and was barely big enough for my husband and I along with our luggage. The wallpaper in our bathroom was coming off, the shower head was weak, the caulking around the bathtub was rotting... We decided to take the stairs instead of the horrible elevator, and even that was a miserable experience. Every othere step was slanting backwards as if they were going to cave at any moment. Seriously, I was embarrassed to tell people where we were staying. I will NEVER stay @ a Clarion again. Terrible
