La Quinta Inn Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs

This hotel, just outside of the famous Garden of the Gods park, is one of the chain's newer locations. In-room bonuses are plentiful-guests are treated to everything from larger-than-average televisions to video game equipment. Besides the electronic features, rooms have upscale wood furnishings and redesigned baths. Rates here fall just under those of the area's luxury hotels, but offer many of the same services. This is a great place for upscale lodging on a budget.
