Econo Lodge Colorado Springs Downtown

I read reviews and looked at photos and they are definitely great at finding the right angle. Pool was tiny and gross. All the paint around the pool is chipping away. The stairs, walkway, pool, vending/ice area, rooms, were all dirty, run down and disgusting. Linens were stained and dirty. The shower, mirror and sink were super nice but that’s about it. Also super sketchy area with homeless walking around and sleeping in cars in the parking lot.

small parking lot if you don't get in on time you have to park on side street

We were in town 2 nights to explore Colorado Springs as part of a longer trip. Hotel is in a cute part of downtown, very close to Colorado College. Room was fine, bathroom had been updated. 2 dead bugs on the bathroom floor when we arrived. Not enough parking available.

Probably the most affordable accommodations near downtown Colorado Springs. Have stayed here several times & will continue to do so. Great value, convenient & a good option for short-term stay. Parking can get a little tight at times, but have always been able to find a spot & maneuver in & out. Motel draws a blue collar/affordable clientele, but never any issues. Downtown Colorado Springs is about a 10-minute walk or so, which is a nice touch to be walking distance.

The parking lot is small. Was charged a deposit after already paying for the room. Was not informed about the deposit from expedia.

Clean and fresh . Older building . Parking is small for number of rooms .

Staff was friendly, rooms clean, property clean, parking was tight but that was the only problems , safe & clean

I like that the room was clean. I didn’t like the hotel itself. It was old needs remodeling. Pool was not working and there is NO breakfast like it is mentioned on hotel descriptions. They only offer coffee, juice, and a couple of snacks.

The staff was wonderful The pool needed maintanence pump wasnt working kids still enjoyed I would go back it fit the budget

Property exterior is old and worn down. Lots of cigarette butts laying around. I was unsure about how my stay would be, but it actually wasn't bad. The room was clean. The bathroom was small but was mostly remodeled and nice. No tub just a stand up shower. The beds were very comfortable and the air conditioner worked good. The room was small and the furniture was outdated. The pool was very small and we didn't use it, but saw some children in it. The lobby/ breakfast area was a room about 8' x 10' didn't check out the breakfast but feel it was basically nothing. All and all, since we basically only used the room for sleeping, unwinding before bed and showering in the morning, the room worked out ok for us.

Room carpet smelled and had insects crawling on bed.

Clean room, friendly staff, comfy bed

We got there and it was so stinky and dirty. The walls were so grimy and there was mold in the bathroom. We were also told that breakfast was included but the front desk lady said "coffee, juice, and SNACKS." It was so bad that I checked out almost immediately after checking in and found a better place to stay. Not family friendly AT ALL.

Nothing was clean, room had cracks in it, hairs in sheets and towels, electronics were barely working through a busted power strip. They require a deposit not disclosed in the reservation, which feels sketchy because they run your card on a separate system from the card reader.

Although the exterior of the building was fairly weathered and run-down, the interor of my room was very clean and tidy. The sheets are incredibly soft! Lots of pillows. Very comfortable room.

My room was clean. The lady who checked me in after my flight was delayed several hours was very nice and professional. The property was quiet at night. I did not see any of the problems mentioned in other reviews. The property is basic with no frills and inexpensive.

Clean room and comfortable bed. All I needed for a one night place to sleep.

Doors looked like they had been kicked in. Locks were old. Repairs on rooms not finished. Mold in shower. Had non smoking room and a smoking room was only a couple doors away. Things weren’t wiped down very well.

We enjoyed our stay for what it was. We simply needed a place to sleep and shower while visiting our daughter in the hospital. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and shower was great.

The room was sufficient, loved the shower

The air conditioners do not work in multiple units. So if you’re going in the summer be prepared to be hot in your room. If it wasn’t for the air conditioners working, we probably would’ve had a decent visit.

Clean room, friendly staff, comfy bed

the key deactivated often beds are super comfy get the king size fs

Just your basic hotel room, it was clean, but not spectacular. I think it was a great value for the price! The "breakfast" is just junk food, but for what they charge, you\'re still getting a good deal. The bed was very comfortable with clean sheets and blankets, both of which were very comfortable and high quality.

Room was bit dated lights shone in from signs all night. 10 min walk to bars and restaurants. Staff member Spanish girl talking on phone to friend in morning did not pause to welcome us. Very basic breakfast of granola bar or small muffin. Dirty staircase to top floor.

Bathrooms were newly redone. Beds very comfortable and clean.

Angel, the woman who works at the front desk In the afternoons and evenings, it’s just a fantastic human being. I stay there frequently and she goes all out to treat me well. I love it. Recently, the bathrooms were renovated. It’s nice that there is more water pressure in the showers, but there is no place to put soap. There are no hooks to hang a towel or clothes and these small things make a big difference when it comes to comfort. Wired soap dish in the shower and a hook on the back of the door is really not too much to ask. Otherwise, great place.

Clean room and comfortable bed. All I needed for a one night place to sleep.

Kevin at the front desk was super rude. Went to get replacement sheets at 5:30 a.m. (I accidently spilt water on originals) and he gave me a very hard time about it. Demanding a bunch of questions. Even went so far as to say I smelled like I'd been drinking, I had came from a wedding the night before and had wine. Very unnecessary transaction. I was not being a nusance nor was I speaking to him in such a way to warrant his disrespect. When I asked whether or not he could give me new sheets, he told me he could not, I asked if they stored them onsite at the property - his response was "what are you going to break in?" He told me if I didnt like it I could leave. I did not understand why he was overly abrasive and unnecessarily rude based off a simple request for clean linen. I will never stay at an Econolodge again. The conduct of this staff member was unnecessary and completely unacceptable.

Check in was quick. Customer service was great

We arrived during a shift change at 10pm CDT after traveling all afternoon/night from EDT, so for us it was 12amEDT. The outgoing clerk would not check us in and had us wait for 10 mins for the person who was coming in, and late, to do it. With no acknowledgment of us waiting, he proceeded to do what ever it was he does at the computer right in front of us, never looking up or saying a word. I waited in disbelief. After about 5 mins, he looked up and asked for my ID. After that process and 20 mins later, I went to the room assigned to me and the key would not work. Went back to the office, confirmed the room number, was given another key and that one also didn’t work. He had me wait while he completed another check in, then walked me to the room and his key didn’t work either. Next room smelled bad and had gnats everywhere. Almost an hour after arrival, and 3 rooms later, we had a room. Now this Motel is usually ok. I’ve stayed here a few times before because my daughter attended CC and the location is ideal. The rooms are old and poorly kept, but usually clean. Customer service tends to be, ok. It’s been over a year since I’ve been back and this has been very disappointing and frustrating. I won’t be staying again.

Rude staff

There are many reasons I like this property, but the number one reason is the staff. Extremely friendly, kind and helpful people. Just high quality folks and I really appreciate them.

The parking lot is small. Was charged a deposit after already paying for the room. Was not informed about the deposit from expedia.

Front desk was very helpful and courteous

Front desk lady was amazing with communication and correcting the reservation.

Location, location! A reasonable lodging so close to down town and next door to Colorado College. Free municipal shuttle one block away. The beds are the best, a skimpy breakfast although the orange juice was great! Staff were helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

So convenient, free parking and one block away from CC campus

Decent hotel room, for a night or two. Breakfast was only some snacks. Walking distance from downtown though.

Affordable, convenient location

This is an older property however it is as clean as even Holiday Inn Express which I recently stayed at in Colorado Springs. More attention to detail such as the broken unusable phone jack and the coffee spills on the inside of the door, or marks on the walls. However this is common in almost all motels that I have stayed in recently. We will be returning to this motel as its proximity to UCHealth Memorial Hospital is perfect to obtain treatments for my husbands cancer.

The hotel was surprisingly quiet and centrally located.

It was a place to sleep with clean sheets. There were visible old stains on the walls. Location by downtown Colorado Springs is convenient. Just doesnt sewm like they have kept up with the building maintenence.

Bare minimum type of hotel. Nothing out of the ordinary to make it feel unsafe. Within a few blocks of excellent dining areas.

Room wasn’t very clean. The place vas fairly run down. When I made the reservation it said there was breakfast, there wasn’t. Only snacks

Room was very clean. Front desk person was very nice. Breakfast was a joke. Only granola bar and juice. Door of our room has a big gap.

Room was clean, bed comfortable, the only bad thing was the breakfast they had only snack granola bars, coffee and juice

Room was okay..the breakfast available was non existant.
