Ute Motel

If you are looking for a place that has uniform lightbulbs in the bathroom fixtures, or real carpet instead of carpet squares, this motel isn't for you. BUT, if you are looking for a quiet, clean place to sleep, this is the perfect option. Don't judge the book by its cover. From the outside, it looks a little sketchy. But inside, it's exactly what you've paid for. There is a flat screen TV, a bigger than average fridge, clean linens, excellent A/C and lots of high-pressure hot water in the shower. This is a small, family-owned motel that is less than 15 mins away from Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, Cave of the Winds, the US Olympic Museum and the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. Pike's Peak and other attractions are less than 30 mins away. It may not be the most luxurious place to stay, but for the price and its proximity to attractions, you can't beat it.

Location was convenient, but room was filthy. I didn't even want to shower in the bathtub it was so stained and dirty. No ice available. Baseboards seemed to have never been dusted much less cleaned. Toilet not clean. Tiles cracked.
