Sonesta Es Suites Colorado Springs

Breakfast options were excellent. Hot breakfast items were different every day. Real plates and cutlery, not paper and plastic. The room was fresh and comfortable. VERY clean. Bed and bedding were comfortable, cozy, and inviting. Fridge, stove, and dishwasher were newer and in excellent condition. Having an ice maker in the freezer was so much better than having to go fill a container with ice at a central ice machine. The apartment also had excellent water pressure and hot water supply, and a squeaky clean bathroom. Did I mention it was clean? Not just the apartment, also the grounds, the parking lot, everything. Clean. It not only looked clean, it smelled clean and fresh. Not "air freshener just sprayed to make it smell clean" clean. This was 'deep cleaned, fresh bleached sheets and bedding on the bed" clean. Anyone who has ever stayed anywhere that wasn't quite clean (or was just plain dirty) will appreciate what I'm telling you here. There is a nice patio with a huge firepit, an outdoor kitchen for barbequeing, a sand volleyball pit, and a children's play area, all across the parking lot from the apartments with a great mountain view; easily accessible for everyone and they would be very nice for any large group staying there together. There's also an outdoor pool, although it had already been covered for the winter during our mid-October stay. Very convenient location. There's a neighborhood Walmart less than a half mile away on the other side of Academy & Austin Bluffs, both a Walgreens and CVS just down the road on Academy. You're spoiled for choice of little places to eat within walking distance, and driving to major shopping on Powers is super easy. Access to the highways and the rest of town and is a breeze.

I would have appreciated a few more items in the kitchen. For example, 4 sets of cutlery, instead of 2; a cookie sheet and a muffin pan, maybe; salt and pepper shakers instead of just some packets of salt and pepper. Just a bit more equipped. After all, what's the point of a kitchen if it's difficult to use it due to a lack of equipment. It did have a broiler pan, one soup pot, one frying pan, one sauce pan, a colander, a couple mixing bowls and a set of measuring cups. We made do, but we went out and bought a couple of nice mugs (the 2 coffee cups were good quality, just tiny) and a couple of extra forks just for our own convenience ( in all fairness, they probably wouldn't have minded us taking a couple from the breakfast buffet back to our room had we thought to ask) I know that some guests will steal items, and I also know that some people will dirty every item in the kitchen and leave it that way, so I do understand the need for minimalism, but this was extremely minimal, although what was provided was of good quality. I was sad about the fact that the apartments were not built to take advantage of the view of the mountains. They're right there to the west, Pike's Peak plainly visible from the property, but no view from the apartment. Even the apartments that had windows facing that direction generally had a tree in front of those windows. With all that said, these were minor issues. Overall, the stay was great. Very comfortable.

I like the proximity to my son’s school. Great for extended stays, nice kitchen.

Quiet, clean, convenient and comfortable .

There’s a lot of traffic on the streets and 1 way streets a little difficult to get around.

Room 321 is on a Corner to 2 Big Streets.

Working as a Housekeeper supervisor I always find thing that needs to clean or be fixed but this time was 0, everything was perfectly cleaned and the place is pretty comfortable. My 1 year old baby had so much fun and space to walk and play around. To give a plus the pool was previously warm and the breakfast was lovely cooked.

Nothing, Was like 20 min from the zoo but I knew that before, have so much options to eat near.
