Holiday Inn Express & Suites Colorado Springs First & Main by IHG

A nice location, but parking lot traffic can be loud. The hotel itself is typical Holiday Inn Express - clean, reasonable breakfast, nice beds, etc. The location is in an outside mall with chain restaurants and shopping. There is a also a movie theatre nearby. Our main complaint is that the weekend we were there several cars with add-on loud exhaust pipes in the parking lots of the mall that the hotel is in. It continued from 10pm-midnight. Again, not the hotel's fault, and it could have just been the 4th of July weekend, but it was loud at times.

Solid stay Stayed here two nights while visiting family. Overall, delivered what you would expect from a Holiday Inn Express. Room was clean; I appreciated that they were offering daily housekeeping. Room was spacious and well-designed, with a rolling desk, office chair, and lots of storage. Plenty of plugs. AC worked (if a little loud) and internet was free and functional. Decor was pleasant. Fitness center was small, with two treadmills and a bike. The bike was, oddly, not plugged in, which meant it could not be used. There was also one rack of free weights. Certainly not the most comprehensive fitness center, but did the job for a simple workout. Breakfast was OK. I wish there were healthier options...the buffet had a lot of brown: two kinds of sausage, cinnamon rolls, lots of bread, biscuits and gravy, etc. What was there was tasty enough and the person working breakfast was doing a nice job keeping the buffet stocked and breakfast area clean. Service was pleasant and check-in and check-out. Location of hotel food for eastern and southern CSprings. Lots of stores and (mostly chain) restaurants surround the hotel. Expensive room rate for a Holiday Inn Express, but in-line with what other properties were charging during the busy summer. Overall, just fine. Would not hesitate to return.

Always A Fabulous Stay!!! Always a great stay at Holiday Inn Express & Suites - First and Main. Very friendly staff, clean accommodations, quiet environment - even though First and Main Center is a very busy place. The morning hospitality breakfast was very well presented and Laura (hospitality host) works very hard to make it right for every guest. Even with a large crowd for the breakfast, Laura did not miss beat!!! She was multitasking between keeping the coffee hot and the various entrees stocked in the serving bins - no easy job for one person!!! Give this very nice hotel a try - you will not be disappointed. Clean, comfortable, and a great morning breakfast - meets and exceeds Holiday Inn standards in many ways.

Clean & safe hotel in excellent location. Definitely would stay again. Excellent location with almost every shopping and food choice possible in small walking or driving radius. A drawback to the location was that the hotel was on the opposite side of Colorado Springs from the main tourist attractions. Area seemed very safe also. Were upgraded to a nice king suite, which was clean and spacious. Breakfast was the usual HIX fare and it did get a little boring over three nights. Breakfast staff were friendly and did excellent job with cleaning and keeping items in stock; breakfast was usually available before their posted start time.

Home away from home Esmeralda, Front Desk Associate, deserves many gold stars for her top-notch service. She is so very friendly, approachable, attentive, and professional. Thank you, Esmeralda, for your overall kindness. Hotel is located within a shopping center so there are restaurant and stores within walking distance. Hotel is very clean and well maintained. They are concerned with everyone's safety so doors are locked during the evening hours and access is granted using your room key. Breakfast was made for everyone's needs. Turkey sausage, pork sausage, egg-white omelets, scrambled eggs, world-famous cinnamon rolls, yogurt, fresh fruit, juices, etc. Breakfast host kept everything well-stocked and tables clean. Home away from home.
