This three-pearl Hampton Inn is geared toward people visiting the nearby Air Force Academy, a seven-minute drive away.

However, it's in a bit of a bland neighborhood (although there is a bowling alley and a cinema nearby) and takes 15 minutes by car to reach downtown Colorado Springs.

The Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel is an upscale, mega-hotel with over 1,000 rooms and two buildings located on Denver’s popular pedestrian street full of shops and restaurants. Free shuttle access right outside the hotel, along with several bus stops, makes it easy to travel to area hotspots in a half-hour or less, including performance venues and sports stadiums. The Sheraton’s common areas offer tasteful, modern decor with lots of luxury accents. Amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, several on-site bars and restaurants, a chic business center, and a luxurious heated, rooftop pool that’s open year-round. Guests biggest complaint is that, compared to the common areas, most rooms are a bit dated and generic. Still, guests find the rooms spacious and clean, and some rooms offer spectacular views of the mountains or downtown. For a similar four-pearl hotel with different amenities -- such as an indoor lap pool, a whirlpool, and a spa -- try the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center.

The inspiration for Stephen King's classic "The Shining," the 130-room Stanley Hotel is as much a tourist destination as a place for lodging. The hotel has fun with its haunted history by offering nightly ghost tours, an on-site psychic, and TVs that play the Jack Nicholson thriller 24 hours a day. Guest rooms, available in both the main building and the adjacent Lodge, are simply decorated with period-appropriate furniture and walk-in showers; due to the hotel's age, some maintenance issues are present and there's no air-conditioning, only fans. With an upscale restaurant, cafe, whiskey bar, spa, and multiple meeting spaces, the hotel has plenty to keep travelers occupied. It's a unique option for paranormal-seeking guests that don't mind sacrificing a few modern luxuries for a historic stay with views of the Rocky Mountains.
