Hyatt Place Colorado Springs Downtown
Security seems lax, especially given the downtown location. Without a ground-floor manned operation it gives the hotel a "wide open for all to charge in" look. That I didn't like that. I would not recommend a female stay there unless she was a USMC combat vet with bulging rippling muscles.

The Mining Exchange
Great staff and helpful people. Room we had was sort of the typical “old hotel trying to stay relevant on a budget”, so it is nice enough, but has old beds and creaky old furniture and odd layouts. We stayed there for an event at the World Arena and would stay there again.

SCP Hotel Colorado Springs
Unique, newly remodeled, diamond in the rough type place. Stayed on a quiet weeknight. Imagine the place gets pretty lively. Didn't have the chance to explore the amenities, but the staff was more than helpful. Comfortable bed, clean room, with some style.
