Motel 229 @ Garden of the Gods

Ran out of Hot water for 2 1/2 days, I left a day before, not a place I would recommend!!

No one at the front desk most of the time. Had to go looking for a bath towels, cause they were none in the room, advertise continental breakfast except they were locked up tight during the morning hours no one in the office no one in the breakfast area.

You do not want to stay here. “No Smoking” signs everywhere, but staff was smoking right in front of one. Entire building smelled of stale smoke. Smoke detector was missing with loose wires hanging from the mount. Trash can had previous occupants trash. I emptied it and asked for a fresh trash bag. Two people said they would bring one, but it never arrived in two days. Bathroom door was falling from the hinges due to wood drywall screws being used to hold the hinges in the metal frame. Fire exit signage I the room was covered with stickers, but the exit from the building was just to the right of our door. The card reader outside that exit door for re-entry was missing with loose wires hanging. Bedding and towels were a mix of rather old, worn out items. The bed was not made up when we arrived in the room, and when someone came to make it, it was the handy man for the property and it was so sloppy we re-made it so the sheets would stay on. There were only three electrical outlets, and one had the TV plugged in, one had the lamp by the bed plugged in, and one had the air conditioned plugged in. Couldn’t charge my phone or computer and sit to use it. The “breakfast was pre-bagged stuff to put in a toaster that was there. On a good note, the coffee was good and the AC unit worked okay but was pretty noisy. “Dump” is overstating this lodge.

Affordable, convenient Convenient for distance to event we were in town for, and only hotel with available king bed at time of booking. Had what we needed but that’s about it. Bed wasn’t comfortable, and was missing a top sheet, pillows were extremely flat. Did have a tv, and mini fridge. Again. Worked for what we used it for, and was extremely affordable. You get what you pay for. We did not use the breakfast, so no comment on that.

The entire property smelt like stale cigarettes. I had to ask for clean bedding as ours appeared to have a large blood stain on it. Twice I almost left to go to another place. Had we not only been staying one night and passing through, we would have left.

Check in was horrible we were charged 10 dollars more than what we reserved the room itself was ok bed was comfortable water pressure was so so couldn't understand what the guy checking us in was saying cuz he was talking so low
