I recently flew to Colorado to spend some time with a relative in the rural area in Calhan and ended up staying at the Calhan Inn for my trip. It is actually the only inn/motel available in the area and has pretty reasonable prices. The rooms were fairly clean, the bed was nice and firm, and the air conditioner/heater works better than what I've experienced in 4 star hotels. I didn't worry once about being cold, even though it was 18 degrees on the other side of the door. The owners live on the property and are very kind and responsive to any issues that come up. Just FYI, there is normally a continental breakfast that's offered, but I don't think that's happening currently due to COVID-19.
If you need a place to crash in a small town, this is a good spot. It isn't the Ritz and doesn't try to sell itself that way, so don't set your expectations too high for a 1 star hotel. It gives you a place to sleep, rest,, and shower and that's all that you really need sometimes. read more
