Top South Central Colorado Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Colorado Springs Airport

8/10 Good

"It was a beautiful hotel. The room was nice and clean and very comfortable. I booked my room the night that a wedding was being held on the premises so I was a little worried, but I couldn't hear any of the music or noise in my room. My only complaint; I asked the front desk to give my boyfriend a key when he arrived. When he stopped at the desk they told him that there was no key or note requesting one, so that if there had been previously I'd clearly withdrawn access. Boyfriend thought he'd been broken up with via front desk. RIP. Haha. Otherwise had a wonderful stay."
