$175 a night/plus tax for ?????
I wanted to treat my mom to a nice luxurious hotel and from the photos I saw of this place I thought how neat, we can stay in this turn of the century hotel (I love old historical buildings) and it looked so fabulous from the photographs we decided to give it a go.
The pictures of the rooms are deceiving, they just did not look as nice as the pictures and I was disappointed that they were so "dingy". Hotel Colorado has a nice courtyard area with the bar and outdoor patio cafe, it is right on the street, they have their own parking lot, but it is about a block or so behind the hotel and you have to walk around, otherwise you have to park on the street. Oh and the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant right across the street was oh so appealing on the eye!
Anyways, the hotel is amidst the hustle and bustle and situated on the street, it has a little fountain in the courtyard area, but the photos I saw presented the hotel with these large fountains outdoors in the front, it all seemed very deceiving to me....
With that said, the hotel inside, lobby area, etc. is gorgeous and resembled the way they built buildings back in the old days, solid, extravagent and LARGE. The hallways of the hotel are 5 times the size of the skinny hallways in modern hotels. The rooms were not at all what I expected or saw in the brochures for the hotel! I don't know if what they consider antiques in the room to be an old dresser, but the decor left much to be desired. NO coffee in the room! I have stayed in the cheapest motels to be found and they even provide you with a coffeemaker! No iron, ironing board or hairdryer, you have to call housekeeping to have those things brought up to your room.
WARNING: This hotel has no air conditioning and at night (in the summer) I came back to my room and my bed was COVERED in gnat like bugs flying everywhere, it was terrible! They kept landing on my face all night long and I felt like they were biting me, EWWWWW!
Historically speaking the building itself is very neat and a joy to walk around and marvel at the way they built things back in the "old days". They have a great outdoor bar and courtyard area which is very relaxing for enjoying a few drinks or having and outdoor dinner.
I believe they have an exercise room, didn't use it. NO pool. They have a gift shop and restaurant and bar on site. Within walking distance to everything, just take the bridge over and it drops you right into downtown where there are a lot of restaurants, bars and shopping all within a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel.
