Spurs n Lace Bed & Breakfast Inn

The breakfast was incredible. Fresh, hot homemade baked French toast, pistachio chocolate cake, fresh fruit salad. Arlene is an amazing cook and a fascinating person.

This is a very unique stay. If your into history, stories, intelligent conversation and delightful filling breakfasts, then this your place. It is historical. Some cool things are listening to a Victorola at breakfast, talking with a local host, and looking at all the collected history on the walls.

The room was nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable, and we both slept good. We had a good breakfast and a nice talk with Arlene the host, who was very interesting and knew a lot about the area.

Nice, convenient location for Pikes peak and GOTG. Sunflower room is a bit tight. Good breakfast.

Owner Arlene makes so.e wonderful breakfasts. The 130 year old building was charming.Quiet, easy to get to locatio .

The house is in excellent conditon with mementos of its past and Arlene is a provides lively conversation on the history of the surrounding area. The Spurs and Lace is in close proimity to unique shopping, dining and Garden of the Gods. A very enjoyable stay.

The owner was very friendly and I enjoyed the friendly cats outside. The Heritage Room was a little small for the two of us but we needed a room with a chair so that made it seem smaller. It might be more comfortable to have a room up on the second floor instead of the first because as you come out of the room, the dining room is right there. Overall, it is a very good price for the bed and breakfast with a very pleasant owner.

Good value bed and breakfast place, close to Old Colorado Town shops and restaurants.

Arlene is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was such a great stay!

No

Old Colorado City is a great area in Colorado Springs, and Spurs n Lace is in an extremely convenient location in this area. The owner/manager is incredibly flexible and knowledgeable of the area. Would definitely stay again in the future.

We enjoyed our times at breakfast with her. Great breakfast as well.

Our host was so gracious and kind and the room was wonderful. clean, well kept and an delicious breakfast, thank you so much

Arlene was a wonderful innkeeper and was great to talk to during breakfast. The house is beautiful and well taken care of.

A wonderful experience. My husband and I and our two friends were traveling through and I googled BnB in the area. Lucked out and found this place. The house had a lot of history and is quaint and comfortable. Our hostess Arlene is a treasure. Chock-full of intriguing stories and experiences to include first hand knowledge of the House as well as the neighborhood and nearby “must see” sites to visit during our short stay. The breakfast she prepared was delicious. Her hospitality unmatched. I could sit and talk with her for hours. Would definitely stay again for longer than one night.

The wonderful friendly knowledgeable hostess.

Lovely place to stay. Historical, charming, and Arlene was a great host. And the front porch kitties were a fun touch! Would stay here again.

Such a great place. Lots of history and the host was great. Breakfast is with all the of the guests there in the Dining room which at first I was not sure about but it was nice to hear everyone’s stories and the host talked about all of the history of the bed and breakfast. There are no TVs in the rooms but honestly it was quite nice without it. Also lots of cool restaurants. Front range bbq was just up the street and had great food. Also it was featured on diners drive ins and dives with Guy Fieri on food network! Definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Special thanks to Arlene, the proprietor and manager, for sending back to me the AirPods I left behind in the room. Arlene did not give up in our attempts to locate it as it was showing it was still there in FindMy app. Arlene didn’t even charge for the shipping costs despite it having been my fault and not of their staff. Thanks to much Arlene!

Lovely, well maintained vintage property. Breakfast was magnificent! Friendly host, highly recommended!!

Arlene, the owner is very friendly and so very knowledgeable about the area. We learned so much from her and the breakfast was delicious. The home is lovely, filled with antiques and warm and welcoming.

Truly enjoyed staying here. Ms. Arlene was an amazing host and Gina made such delicious breakfast.

We enjoyed hearing the history of the area and the lovely homey feel of the property. We also enjoyed visiting with the owner at breakfast

Everything was great! Arlene, the innkeeper, is a great host who is very knowledgeable about the area and is full of history!

Great hostess and breakfast!

Arlen Lanham, an engineer and author, and an absolute Bon Vivant, runs an amazingly welcoming and friendly old Victorian house in the charming Old Colorado Town neighborhood. The breakfast alone, between the conversations, history, and wonderful food, makes the stay one which I really hope to repeat!

It is a lovely property, but shows its age. While it was generally clean, the bathroom rug and baseboard were filthy. The outside and yard need a good cleaning. The breakfast was tasty, but didn't include protein or toast, and tended to be quite sweet.

the house was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. Arlene's breakfast tales were entertaining and educational. Love the neighborhood cats. so sweet. Met some really nice people from England and Scotland. Would go back.

The host was so knowledgeable about the area. The food was delicious. The bed was so comfortable. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Loved this Victorian gem. Lots of history here. Arlene will tell you all about it. She is a great host and ambassador of the area. Loved breakfast with Arlene, it was delicious.

Innkeeper Arlene is amazing and very kind

There was no one there at check in and no one there other than breakfast. One or two other guests at any time. We stay at bed and breakfast and not at a hotel for the conversations, recommendations and personal touch an owner gives. My understanding was the owner was on vacation. I would have preferred to know this before booking. It was a beautiful Victorian home.

We were told someone pretending to know me took the key. We will not be staying here.

We enjoyed our stay!

Arlene is a wonderful host. Hearing the history of the B&B and the personal history of the owner, Arlene, was a highlight.

Arlene very cordial and wonderful historic home.

There were many things to like about this property: it has a great location, it's beautiful, it was quiet, and the breakfast was very tasty. However, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and the hostess insists on joining breakfast and dominating the conversation. I'm not sorry we went, but we won't be back.

Couldn't work the shower.

Our host was lovely but the B&B wasn't a good fit for us. We wanted a place close to walking distance from Old Colorado City and thought the B&B would be something outside the box. That is was but not for our taste. Our room was on the main floor across from the formal dining room. We were informed breakfast would be at 8am but we are early risers (5am) and had to catch a flight. We realize it's an old house but you could hear people walking outside our door due to the floors creaking. It could be a very nice place with some of the historical memorabilia put away. Needs to update all the lightbulbs, bed linens and pillows (with had to fold our 1 flat pillow in half to get comfortable). Include 4 pillows with each room. I think if you're into a community breakfast and love to stay in historical places, this would be for you. On the plus side, we love the 2 comical neighborhood cats greeting us at the property. I think one of them wanted to come home with us. Super cute!

What a fun and amazing stay! Arlene gave us a wonderful tour along with a history of this beautiful Queen Ann treasure. She was hospitable and friendly. Couldn't have been better!

Very friendly reception upon arrival and an unexpected and detailed tour of the house and its history. Beautiful home, and obviously well cared for.

Travelling from Texas we were surprised to have Covid restrictions required upon our arrival. Had this been disclosed to me, clearly, during booking I would not have even considered staying at the property. Since it's not refundable by Hotels.com we lost two nights fee. We have been scammed by both the host and Hotels.com.

Loved the location: 1 block from the main drag and 2 blocks from a great italian restaurant

It's a little quirky, not fancy, but historic, comfortable and quiet. It was fun to talk to Arlene, the property owner, at breakfast. The food was really good.

Great location

Great historic property to stay at. Walkable distance to good restaurants. Our host Arlene was very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the area. Wonderful breakfasts, a step up from the usual B&B fair. I would highly recommend this property to everyone.

Old school basic charm. Host gave history and details of this historic home. It is old school. So expect a bed, bath and breakfast. Great location and host was friendly and informative. Quiet location and parking right in-front by the house or can park in the back drive. Easy walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Historic home w/attentive innkeeper. However, numerous homeless people in neighborhood, boarded up houses nearby, pancake flat pillows made sleeping truly a challenge & very minimal room for suitcases due to knicknacks. Convenient to Garden of the Gods & Pikes Peak.

WARNING BED BUGS!! The room was dirty, carpets not vacuumed and hair in my bed. I was so exhausted after a procedure I had that day I stayed anyway and tried to cancel the second night and get a refund because I was clearly unhappy. The owner would not even consider a refund. Then I drove all the way back to NewMexico that day so exhausted and started seeing several bites on my arms and legs and my back started itching. I looked up the marks when I got home thinking it was bed bug bites and sure enough they were. I called Arlene to complain and let her know the issue and she said there was no way they had bed bugs and I could come inspect to find them and show her. A professional exterminator has to do that to find them by the way. So I started a dispute with my bank and now she is lying and saying I declined the mask policy and never stayed there.

Bathroom clean no space for cosmetics

The person who answered the door had us wait outside in the cold. After 15 minutes, we left and they woukdnt refund our money.

Dingy, dark, and disappointing. Unkempt exterior. The unappetizing breakfast included a fruit cup with a couple of long hairs on the plate underneath. Bathroom mat was dirty and tub mat was moldy. Having stayed in many B and B's in the U.S. and abroad, this rates at the bottom.

Arlene is welcoming and knowledgeable about the home and the area. Theresa made the most delicious breakfast and was very accommodating. My room was quaint and clean. The shops of Old Colorado City are just around the corner, it’s in a great location. Thanks for the hospitality, Ladies!

Cute property located a short walk from the heart of Old Colorado City

Very nice, comfortable and clean.

The owner met us upon arrival and was both friendly and very welcoming. Our room was comfortable and homey, quite the opposite of many soulless corporate hotel rooms. The breakfast was delicious and presented on china. It also felt good to be supporting a local, woman-owned business.

We chose to stay at Spurs n Lace because it was a good location for a family event we attended in Colorado Springs. The bonus was how walkable the house was to town as well as how comfortable the room and bed were. The house is very well kept and the breakfast of fruit, egg dish and cake dessert were a yummy way to start the day.

The bed is very hard and the pillows are very thin.

Arlene is a great host and her breakfast staff is so friendly and helpful. Would return for another visit. Arkansas!!

Had to wait at least 15 minutes for someone to answer the phone to get checked in.

Host was super friendly and knowledgeable if a little chatty. Lovely overnight stay with plenty of dining options nearby.

My best stay ever in Colorado Springs, beautiful historical property, excellent friendly service, delicious breakfast. Will absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Spurs n Lace Bed & Breakfast Inn

We enjoyed our stay their, and would recommend to anyone that is looking for a location to stay in that area. Host is fun and very knowledgeable, excellent experience.

Great location near Colorado Ave with a few restaurants near by. Teresa, Arlene’s helper was amazingly helpful and kind. The house is oId so it has its charm. Our room was clean but the bed and pillow were old and uncomfortable. The bed had groves on both sides and the pillows were flat. Breakfast was basic, by delicious thanks to Teresa.

Quaint Bed and Breakfast with a delightful breakfast experience.

Nice property and host

Beautiful home, very nice host and great breakfast!

Needed a good clean. Bedding was faded and torn. Bedroom opened directly onto dining room. Bedroom was very stuffy. Breakfast was good.

Great place!

.

No tv in room

No common sitting area. Confined to your room in cooler off season.Breakfast was skimpy and unappealing. Fruit pieces and a small dab of yogurt plus a small baked onion and sausage in ramican dish.

It was like staying at my great grandmother place . You felt the welcome and cozy feel but very dated and tired . Host was helpful and friendly. We stayed 2 nights with repeat breakfasts . Not sure who eats a warm chocolate brownie with whip cream at breakfast 🤔 Great location to walk to downtown , Farmers Market on Saturday. If you want a unique step back in time 1980s and 1880s .. you may like this place !

This wasn’t charming or full of character, it was just shabby (and not shabby-chic.) Breakfast was terrible, served rigidly at 8 AM, and forced to sit around the table with the host while she told her own stories. Not a relaxing experience, limited privacy, not comfortable, overall depressing surroundings. I’d give it a miss.

We enjoyed the food, service and company at the meals. Arlene was a wealth of information and stories.

Very nice bed and breakfast

Beautiful old well preserved home. Close to Old Historic downtown.

Great experience!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Arline is a wealth of information for everything locally and such a nice person. We will definitely return!!!

Arlene was amazing! The place is clean, smells great and is very convenient when it comes to getting around town. We want to stay here again next time we come. Can't recommend enough!

My wife and I had stayed here before. It has since changed hands and is still the quaint, wonderful little place it was before.

Probably my main complaint about our stay was the lack of variety in food. We stayed 2 nights and breakfast was a rerun the second day. Food was ok but not phenomenal. Arley was interesting and conversation was intriguing.

Very nice

Beautiful old house with much of its original woodwork.

Unique Victorian B&B, great location

Beautiful home. Arlene is fun and clearly proud of the historic home.

One of the most interesting stays you’ll ever have. Ms. Lanman, Inkeeper, demonstrates thorough knowledge of a variety of topics and the local history. Sharing breakfast with her was a fascinating time before moving on to a routine string of unmemorable hotels throughout the state.

We came for a funeral. Arlene and her staff made our stay very comfortable for the short time we were there. Her stories were so intresting and memorable.

The staff is wonderful

Arlene has had an interesting life and is a wealth of information.

We did not stay. Outside of property wss unkept. Inside of property was messy. Did not even look at room. Definitely not worth the price and we did not stay at all.

Charming Victorian home. Lots of interesting antiques. Somewhat cluttered. Somewhat dingy - bedspread & bathroom rug needed to be cleaned. Pleasant and informative host. Breakfast was way overcooked!

Beautiful B&B. Theresa our hostess was friendly, informative and a great hostess. Beautiful quaint rooms, very clean and homey. Highly recommend this beautiful home for your stay in Colorado Springs. Theresa also prepared us an amazing breakfast 😋

Quaint and cozy. Staff was polite and accommodating.

Everything was perfect

It just was not for us. Disappointed that there was no living room for guest to sit and chat with others. The breakfast was very disappointing. No choice in items. Would have been nice to have some kind of bread or pastries. No tv in rooms, but could hear the owner listening to hers. If you are looking for a quant, owner friendly feel like home bed and breakfast, this is not the place.

The B and B was located in the Old Colorado City, one block off Colorado Avenue that is filled with shops and restaurants, all within walking distance. It's also near hiking trails in the Open Space, an extension of the rock formations connected with Garden of the Gods but with fewer people walking about and more parking options. In this lovely Victorian era home, Arlene the proprietor, is friendly and provides lots of information about the things to do in the city. Breakfasts are delicious.

This was such a great experience all around. Quiet, cozy and quaint and Miss Arlene was a wonderful host

Arlene was a wonderful hostess, breakfast was delicious. We will definitely stay again 😊

Limited parking, well maintained grounds. Need to come up with a plan to leave key somewhere, the weather turned bad and we had to leave early

The ambiance and personal experience of our visit was a welcome change from a hotel room. The Victorian structure and decor is in excellent condition, and coupled with a comfy room and a spotless bathroom made for a relaxing stay.

Entertaining breakfasts with Arlene, the interesting innkeeper. Great location. Beautiful house and room.
