    Romantic Getaway on the way to the mountains

    Coming from sea level (PA) my husband & I like to ease our way (& lungs) up to our ski home in Breckenridge. We do this by staying at a lower-level location for a few days and to use that time to get to know the surrounding area. This time it was Colorado Springs and having stayed at a Select Registry before (in Estes Park) we used the Registry to locate a B&B in this area. We were delighted to find The Old Town GuestHouse. It couldn't be more perfectly located -- right in the midst of Old Colorado Sity, just a few minutes from both Manitou Springs & Colorado Springs. Don & Shirley were the perfect hosts -- there when you needed/wanted them, providing the best breakfasts ever, and their passion and care for their B&B was ever present. Having a hot tub on our own private deck was so very special, allowing us to soak tired muscles after a hike and take in the views of Pike's Peak. We were able to peak in all of the available rooms & none would be a disappointment. But, the hot tub is a PLUS.

    The "BEST"

    We travel to the Colorado Springs area frequently and have always thought this would be a nice place to stay. The exterior of the B&B is very inviting. Now that we've stayed there for 4 days, we can definitely say that this is a "must" when in the area. It is immaculate and every room is tastefully decorated (we caught them during a lull, so we were able to take a tour of all of the rooms). It appeared that all of the rooms had great views. Our room's views included the Garden of the Gods and a perfect view of Pike's Peak. The food was wonderful. Both the dining room and library/den were also tastefully done. Don and Shirley were the perfect hosts and we enjoyed many conversations with them. It was like staying with friends. Great B&B owned and operated by great people. This one is a "keeper."

    Innkeeper Response
    We appreciate everyone who takes the time to write a review. We remember these folks and they made it easy to be the "Best". We hope to see them, and anyone else who enjoys friendly hospitality, at the Inn again and again. Thanks for the review - you guys really are the Best.

    Very Bad Experience

    We have traveled extensively, both in the USA and abroad, and have never experienced anything like this: The room was tiny and not well cleaned. In fact, one day it was not cleaned at all. We made sure Don and Shirley knew about this (we called them when we returned that evening - they were out of town), but neither one apologized nor seemed to care, nor made any effort to compensate us in any manner, whether by gesture or other means. This is an expensive B&B for what it provides, and we found it to be more ostentatious than enjoyable; more surface "showmanship" than honest friendliness. It does seem that Don is going through the motions of running a "highly rated" B&B. Every evening during check-in time (4-6pm), he served wine and wanted to sit and talk with everyone there about their lives and daily experiences. He also spent a lot of time talking about himself, his family, and what he apparently thought were his great experiences. This is not what we were looking for, and we were very surprised by his intrusiveness. He also wanted to recommend places for us to go, and places for us to dine, but we wanted to make our own decisions, and never stayed for his wine hours after the first day nor followed any of his recommendations after the night of our check-in. Don also told us his "rules" when he showed us our room: We were told not to turn on the electric fireplace because it would use too much air conditioning, not to turn the AC below 68 degrees because it would "freeze" his pipes, and he refused our request to turn down the temperature of our hot tub, which measured 104 degrees, and was too hot. He told us just to try it the way it was. Again, we have never encountered this type of experience anywhere, and would never want to repeat it. Shirley was uninvolved during our stay, except for her annoyance when I had to call her in the evening to tell her that our room had not be cleaned, our towels not changed, nor our bed made.

    Sadly this review is more fiction than fact. We suggest that the reader check out a couple of our other reviews and come to an informed opinion.

    The proprietors of this hotel are super nice and available. The breakfast each day is awesome and you even have the choice of getting it delivered to your room the night before if you have plans that will cause you to miss the next day's breakfast. We has some special requests for Don & Shirley (bike parking, packaging tape, receiving packages) and they accomodated us without hesitating. Great place. Great hospitality. Great food. Great location.

    This B&B sets a high standard!

    Truly, Don and Shirley have thought of everything to pamper guests and make them feel welcome and special. From the delightful happy hour to a stocked coffee/tea/necessities bar to the mints on the bed with tomorrow's forecast, it is our very favorite of the many B&B's we've visited.
