Room hallway with beautifully tiled floors

This hotel is so nice. I was here for a conference and looking at the Marriott and Hilton properties but opted for this instead. So glad I did. The hotel has been recently renovated - you can tell in the rooms and the beautiful carpeting. Everything smells new. The interiors are out of this world - tastefully done, and the service is above par. Kind and thoughtful staff who make it their job to make sure you have the best experience possible. This place is a cute photography area, saw some couples getting photographs done here.

Now that's quite lovely, isn't it?

I loved staying at this boutique hotel in downtown Colorado Springs. Right smack-dab in the heart of everything - walking distance to restaurants, pubs & parks. The rooms are nicely remodeled and include "very" comfortable beds and pillows, a walk-in shower fit for royalty (complete with nice products), and the room was decorated with art by local artists. If I had any feedback it was the room was a little sparse - I noticed several walls were completely bare - but hey, a minor complaint. One side of the hotel has additional artwork featured in the stairway. Check it out if you're there! It's a nice way to show off local talent. But to me, the standout is the lobby, complete with comfy couches, chairs, and lounge spaces that say "welcome: stay awhile." The coffee shop puts out amazing java (see my separate review) and I shared a glass of wine with a friend at the adjacent lounge. I did not have time to check out the spa or the downstairs fitness room. They do a creative job of carrying the "mining" theme throughout the hotel: the lobby features the names of local mines in Colorado; and if you need a little therapy, you can ask for your own healing crystal to be sent up to your room! They offer unique events, such as mini massages, tarot/palm readings, and feature local talent. Friendly service, tastefully decorated rooms & guest spaces, and a cool (& welcoming) vibe, this hotel is a tremendous ambassador for my old hometown. I'll definitely return!

Closer to 2 and 1/2 Stars. Here at The Mining Exchange we encountered a (non)-typical $200+ per night - *no frills hotel. No bathrobes, no breakfast etc. The staff are warm and welcoming. The downtown location is ideal. The hotel itself is filled with historic ambiance. Aesthetics: Our room (407) has seen better days. We stayed in an executive room and truth be told; the only difference between a standard room and an executive room - is a chair and small table in a corner. Functionality: Our pillows were foam and uncomfortable. The bed was okay, it is considered to be a hotel king and *much smaller than our residential king (who knew)? The Art light didn't work, light up make-up mirror did not work, the television was glitchy, the coffee maker consistently made a half cup of coffee, the walls were scuffed and dirty, windows dirty, carpet and flooring could use a deep clean. Clearly this room could use some revitalization and maintenance. Noise: We could hear someone's dog barking nearby and the friendly housekeeping staff going about their duties - early in the mornings. We were offered a different room but the room we were offered had some of the same issue and a less appealing view. The Mining Exchange has potential.

It's in a very interesting location and it shares a building with a little grocery store which is very unique. We had actually not made a reservation and we got there around 5pm and our Hostess made some arrangements and got us seated within a few minutes. Once you go inside it looks like a very high end restaurant and every staff member there was super professional. Our waitress arrived super fast and we basically knew what we wanted already so we ordered Our food. We got our food within 15-25 minutes and I ordered their renowned Pan seared Elk and I got the wine that was recommended to pair with it. I honestly think that was the best elk I've ever had there was 0 gamey flavor to it at all and it was cooked to perfection(medium-rare). My girlfriend was already full for the most part so she just ordered their fries which had arrived way before my meal did so we shared them, they tasted very good. This place was definitely worth it and I highly recommend paying it a visit.

The place is rustic and artsy and provides privacy in all the nooks and cranny's. Lunch service is quite a value and includes delicious bread service complete with butter and pimento and then your choice of an entree or soup and salad followed by dessert. I had the sausage and white bean soup and chicken and mixed green salad and both were fabulous. The soup was a standout! The dessert was a simple rustic almond poppy poundcake and it was a lovely finish. The menu changes on a regular basis and reservations are highly suggested. I think my next trip here will be for brunch!

I came with my daughter and we picked 4 course dinner option. We ordered different items so we could try more . Everything was fresh ! Ingredients were of higher quality than most places I've been to in Colorado Springs. I also appreciated the freshness of dessert. As a baker I could tell that scone part of the dessert was recently and freshly baked and not stale. I always get a bit hesitant to order fish dishes at the restaurant but I could taste the freshness of salmon. It was great! I had cappuccino with my dessert and it was rich and of high quality . Espresso was flavorful. I'm rather critical of restaurants and food served and I was pretty impressed by this cute place. Great ambience, great service and food. I'll be back for more !!!

Flying W Ranch - Dinner

I have to admit - being a Texas resident these days I was a little skeptical when my sister…read morementioned wanting to visit the Flying W Ranch for a chuckwagon dinner. And I gotta say, this ended up being one of my favorite experiences during this recent Colorado trip. There's truly something for everyone to enjoy and the experience begins well before your bbq buffet dinner does! We arrived about an hour before the dinner/show time and spent time wandering the ranch and exploring what all there was to see. There is a petting zoo, a little train ride through a "mine", hiking trails, ax throwing, Native American demonstrations, and so, so much more. Now as for the dinner, you'll be sat family style and then section by section you'll go up and make your way through the buffet line. I was surprised by how tasty everything was (the brisket wasn't Texas worthy but the bbq chicken was super yummy). As soon as everyone had gone through the line, it was open for anyone to go back through the buffet line for seconds (or thirds). But wait there's more! While you dine, you'll also enjoy a live musical show with a band singing old Western and spiritual songs. And as if the visit couldn't have been any better, towards the end of the show a herd of wild bighorn canyon sheep made their way down from the surrounding hills and wandered through the rach outside the dining hall. All in all I'll definitely be back to Flying W Ranch if ever get the chance and so should you if you ever find your way in Colorado Springs!

Make sure to get there early so you can enjoy the multitude of things around the ranch. There are many farm animals that you can look at and learn about. There is archery and axe throwing. There is a train ride and a wagon ride. There is even a Native American show where you can learn about their traditional dance and culture. Later in the night, you get herded into their dinner building. You are assigned a table number from when you check in. They release tables one by one to go get food. And there is a ton of food to grab. You just carry your metal plate and people place food directly onto your plate as you walk down the line. There is more than enough food, I definitely could not finish it all. You get brisket, chicken, baked beans, baked potato, applesauce, biscuit, and spice cake. Could have used a vegetable to round out the meal but thats ok, I'm not complaining. After everyone gets food, you can grab seconds if you want. There are also plenty of drinks like water, lemonade, and iced tea. And finally, the show begins. The Flying W are a talented group of musicians that can sing and play instruments. They sang classic cowboy Western songs but also some Christian songs. It was extraordinary and made for a great way to round out the night. You certainly get your moneys worth between the food, show, and experiences. Highly recommend, I don't think you will be disappointed!

This visit brought me in for Mother's day brunch and it's evident that the establishment is under some major construction but this didn't deter from our feast. It seems the hotel could use some repairs and touch ups and so it's good to see that is underway. The buffet provided a wide variety of options from omelette station, breakfast items, seafood options, prime rib carving station, loads of sides, salad bar and more. My favorites were the au gratin potatoes, Brussel sprouts, and Mac & cheese. The dessert options were very limited as most items had run out and weren't refilled, but I was too full to care. Service seemed a little curt, but was sufficient. I don't think I would ever make a true judgement of a dining establishment based on a buffet experience so I'll have to go back for a regular service to truly explore what the Cliffhouse has to offer these days. Hopefully it is full of excellence as it once was. I'll be back.....

They were not very busy, assuming due to renovations. Location of the restaurant was a little hard to find too, the map took us down the street and then an employee had to walk us the actual restaurant. We chose to eat on the outside balcony to enjoy the view. Our waitress was very friendly and took our order. We requested potatoes and veggies instead of risotto with our Filets. Our meal came out with veggies but no potatoes. Small miss on the order but proceeded to eat our dinner. The filet was incredible!! Very flavorful and cooked perfectly (medium). The only other small annoyance was the wasp trying to get to my meal as I was eating it. Just made me eat faster! Overall nice experience in a beautiful setting!
