Default Colorado Springs | Hotel + Movie Theater Recommendations

It appears that I will be doing an overnight stay in CO Springs sometime next week. While I'm there, I would like to stay in a decent hotel and possibly take in a movie. That being said, I am looking to you CO Springs natives to point me in the right direction.

MovieTickets.com lists the following Springs cinemas (so as to show I did some homework):

- Picture Show at Citadel Crossing
- Carmike 10 Springs
- Kimball's Twin Peak Theatre
- Cinemark Tinseltown USA Springs
- Cinemark Carefree Circle
- Carmike Chapel Hills 15

So, what do you say?

Default The 2 Cinemark cinemas are the new "modern style" places...

What part of town are you looking at staying?

Default The Broadmoor is the only place worth staying in the city.

You could probably find a nice B&B if you want to stay in Manitou Springs (basically a part of CO Springs)

Default Broadmoor is ballar, or B&B in Manitou as suggested, or more generic places like

Cheyenne Mountain Inn conference center. Large conference-style place with decent rooms and rates - about 1/2 the price of the Broadmoor, but without the swank effect.

The only restaurant recommentdations I can make are 1) The Pepper Tree on 8th St. (I think). 2) MacKenzie's Chop House, downtown. MacKenzies is more typical steakhouse, Pepper Tree is a bit more singular, I like it better.

I grew up in CS, visit frequently still since I have family there.

Default Broadmoor and Tinseltown...

I grew up in the Broadmoor, I HIGHLY recommend it..

Adam's Mark downtown is OK, it has def. gone downhill in the last few years..

Default Broamoor is nice but the Antler's Adms Mark is more centrally located...

UAL used it for our layover hotel back when I was still flying. Its also very plush.

Default Just that you wouldn't want to stay on the North side and have an hour drive to Maintou...

I agree with Broadmoor and Tinseltown... dinner at the Goldne Bee is a must and if you like cigars and brandy- check out the cigar bar by the Broadmoor lake.
