"I don't know where to start. One word EXCELLENT and beyond. From the second we entered the parking we were already in love. Than check in...beyond excellent. Customer service above and beyond. We stayed for our child's 16 birthday...Our son not only was surprised by Happy Birthday wishes right at check in, but also when we opened the door to our room, there was a birthday card on his bed and a small gift. This is what made me so happy as a mom how appreciated my son was . And it made him also happy, appreciated and excited. Also the restaurant's stuff surprised my son with a complimentary ice cream. We will be back for sure , I have never seen an excellence at any hotel to the highest level possible. I highly recommend Garden of the Gods Resort and Spa to everyone. They will treat you like royalty. Oh, did I mention how comfy our beds were? And how clean the room was and how beautiful the bathroom was like a spa in your room. And.... unforgettable views of Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak...and the beautiful balcony area on a first floor with visitors like deers at 5 am and mommy and a baby turkey...Gush...I miss it already. We Loved every second of our stay, and oh...the pools ...and the stuff at the pools walking around with icy cold water right to our sitting ... The list could go longer. EXCELLENT . Thank you to all the stuff to make us feel like a royalty. We will be back next year and years after."
