The Broadmoor-Colorado

                                                               The Broadmoor

The Broadmoor Hotel and Resort in Colorado is located in Colorado Springs. It is a five star resort where many PGA golf tournaments have been held. The golf course was very pretty and gave a spectacular view of the mountains behind it. While walking on the paths near the golf course, I saw a group of mule deer. It was a great photo opportunity. The rooms at the hotel were roomy, but didn't have any decks or patios. We stayed in the South tower which is newer so it had more modern amenities like a bedside room control system where you can turn the lights one and off with a simple press of a button or open and close the curtains. The pool at the Broadmoor was cool. The outdoor pool was an infinity pool with a separate slide area with a slow tunnel slide and a super fast slide that drops you almost straight down. The hotel also had stables where my mom and I went horseback riding on a trail in Pike National Forest which was fun for me.  The few problems I had with the Broadmoor was the lack of good, real food at the hotel; most of the restaurants main entrees that were way too complicated for me. The extra activities like bowling cost a lot of money - $50 per hour for bowling with a $5 shoe rental per person. That's "cray, cray."  Finally, for a resort in the middle of busy season, you would think they would plan kid, teen, and family activities like they do at other similar resorts like The Breakers or the Sanctuary. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. It would have had five stars, but it was ridiculously over-priced.
