Pueblo's BEST Extended Stay? Premier Suites Review! (CO) - The Honest Truth (and a Few Rambles)

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the world of extended stay hotels, Pueblo, CO, edition. And frankly? I'm here to tell you the real deal about Premier Suites. Forget the glossy brochure; we're going deep. This isn't your standard, sterile hotel review. This is a vibe check.

First Impressions (and My Initial Panic):

Finding the place was easy enough. Accessibility looked promising – and that was HUGE for me, as I was lugging more luggage than a migrating goose. (More on that later). The exterior? Clean, professional, and… well, a bit predictable. You know, the usual extended-stay vibe. Now, I'm not gonna lie, walking in, the first thought? "Oh God, did I pack enough face masks?" (It's a pandemic thing, people. Judge not.)

Accessibility - Making Life Easier (Praise the Lord!):

Here's where Premier Suites got a massive thumbs up right off the bat: Accessibility. They actually get it. The ramps were smooth, the doorways wide, and the elevators were practically begging to take me to my room without a single anxious moment. Praise be! This is something that's SO often overlooked, and when you’re struggling, it makes ALL the difference. This is a big WIN for anyone needing it.

Rooms: Home Away From (Sort Of) Home:

Okay, let's talk rooms. They've got the standard amenities: Air conditioning (thank heavens, Pueblo gets HOT), Wi-Fi [free] (critical!), Refrigerator (hello, midnight snack opportunities!), and a coffee/tea maker. The extra long bed was actually extra long, which is a godsend for anyone over six feet tall. Blackout curtains? Absolutely essential for catching up on sleep after a long drive. Daily housekeeping (thank you, angels of cleanliness!). They even had an ironing board! (I might have actually seen a real-life Ironing Board Man appear).

Now, here's a confession: I'm a total klutz. So, the bathtub and separate shower were a real win. I can't tell you how many times I've slipped trying to get into a shower.

The Internet Debacle (Because It Always Happens):

We have to chat about this because it's a modern necessity. Wi-Fi [free] in every single room. Wonderful, right? Mostly. I'm a content creator: I needed to upload HUGE files. And let me tell you, the Internet access – LAN was a godsend, when it worked. Let's just say there were moments when I felt the urge to scream into the digital void. There was a hiccup in the 'net, and the front desk did try to fix it, but it was not the best internet experience.

Cleanliness and Safety: The Pandemic-Era Reality:

Look, we’re all living in a world that revolves around hand sanitizer and social distancing. Premier Suites clearly understand this. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Double check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Triple check. They even offered room sanitization opt-out available and individually-wrapped food options. This is HUGE. It made me feel safe and secure.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Survival of the Fittest:

This is where things get interesting. They offer Breakfast [buffet] -- but during my stay it was a Breakfast takeaway service. Listen, I'm a breakfast person, and the options weren't spectacular, but they were adequate. (Think: pre-packaged pastries, fruit, and coffee. Not bad. Fine.) There's a convenience store nearby, which is crucial for late-night cravings. As for the fancy feasts? Best skip that. The options were few and far between.

Fitness, Relaxation, and the Pursuit of Zen:

Fitness center? Yes! Actually decent gear! Swimming pool [outdoor]? Yes! It looked lovely, but I was too busy working. No sauna, spa, or steam room… Look, this isn't a luxury resort. It's a functional place to stay for a while.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things Matter:

Laundry service? Fantastic! Daily housekeeping? Even better! Cash withdrawal nearby was nice. Doorman? No. Concierge? No. But honestly? For an extended stay, you don't need a doorman. You just need a clean room, a decent bed, and functioning Wi-Fi. (See above).

For the Kids (and the Kid in Us):

Family/child friendly. The place is definitely geared towards longer stays, so families feel at home. No babysitting, but honestly, in this kind of hotel, it's less common.

Getting Around: Navigating Pueblo:

Car park [free of charge] – a HUGE win! Airport transfer? Not on offer. But it's Pueblo, so, really, you don't need it. Plus a Car power charging station, for EV cars.

The Verdict and My Quirky Takeaway:

Okay, here's the truth bomb: Premier Suites in Pueblo is a solid choice for an extended stay. It's not a luxury experience. But it IS clean, safe, accessible, and surprisingly comfortable. It's perfectly functional. You get what you're paying for, and that's a good value.

Here are the areas that could be improved:

• More diversified breakfast. Sometimes I need something more… than just a muffin or a croissant.
• Faster and more reliable internet. (As a digital nomad, this is a MUST!)

My Quirky Anecdote:

I was checking out, and the lovely woman behind the desk asked me how my stay was. I was feeling particularly bold and told her, "It was great… except for the Wi-Fi. I almost threw my laptop out the window. But hey, at least the bed was comfy!" We both laughed. She totally got it. That's the kind of vibe you get at Premier Suites. It’s a place that feels real. What about the Competition? As far as I know, and after a bit of online digging… Premier Suites often come out on top. I found a lot of the hotels in Pueblo did not offer the same level of accessibility or the same comprehensive set of amenities necessary for an extended stay.

Extended Stay America Premier Suites - Pueblo Pueblo (CO) United States

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's pristine travel itinerary. This is the Pueblo, Colorado, Extended Stay America experience – unfiltered, unvarnished, and probably a little sleep-deprived. So, let's dive headfirst into this glorious mess.

Day 1: Arrival, Disappointment, and Pizza (in that order, naturally)

• 1:00 PM: Arrive in Pueblo. Ugh, the drive. Seriously, the last hour felt like an eternity of flat, beige nothingness. I swear, I saw the same tumbleweed roll past three times. My GPS, bless its digital heart, kept losing signal. And you know what? I'm already skeptical about how the heck did I choose Pueblo, Colorado as my next adventure, I was supposed to fly out like, a month ago.
• 1:30 PM: Check into Extended Stay America. Okay, first impression? "Premier Suites?" More like "Barely-Above-Average Apartments with Questionable Odors." The lobby has that stale, almost-sad, smell of old coffee and… is that… chlorine? I'm going to need an industrial-sized air freshener for my sanity. But the lady at the counter was sweet, so maybe this won't be a total disaster. Plus… the price was relatively cheap, so, you know, silver linings.
• 2:00 PM: Unpack (sort of). I threw my stuff in the general direction of the closet. The bedspread has a faint floral pattern. I thought it's cute.
• 2:30 PM: Explore the room. The fridge is surprisingly clean. The microwave looks like it's seen things. And the TV… well, it’s a TV. I guess. My main concern? Finding a decent WiFi that is strong enough.
• 3:00 PM: Panic. Realize I forgot my toothbrush. This is the kind of existential terror that only a travel day can conjure. I'm doomed.
• 3:30 PM: Rescue Mission! Found a gas station down the street - crisis averted! Also, bought a bag of ridiculously oversized gummy bears. Comfort food, here I come.
• 4:00 PM: Pizza time. Found a local pizza place, "Tony's." It’s not winning any Michelin stars, but the pizza? Solid. Comfortingly greasy. Exactly what I needed.
• 5:00 PM: Contemplating the meaning of life while watching mind-numbing TV. I think I fell asleep with a slice of pizza on my chest.
• 9:00 PM: Lights out. Praying for no bedbugs and a solid night's sleep. Pueblo, so far, is a… unique experience.

Day 2: Culture Shock (Maybe) and Castle Dreams

• 8:00 AM: Wake up to the sun’s glare. Surprisingly, I slept well. Maybe the gummy bears worked after all. Make a coffee and realize I forgot the coffee filters at home. Well, whatever, I have some water left.
• 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Generic hotel continental breakfast. The hard-boiled eggs look suspicious… and the orange juice tastes like battery acid. Pass. Decisive decision.
• 10:00 AM: Drive to Bishop Castle. Oh. My. God. Pictures do not do this place justice. This is where the "quirky" rating goes next level. It does not matter the actual structure and its architecture, I was too nervous to even step foot in many of the areas, like the tops of the turrets. Truly stunning in all its, let's say, unlicensed glory. The sheer ambition of one man (Jim Bishop) and his construction? Utterly bonkers. Climbing those rickety metal stairways? Terrifying, but exhilarating. My heart rate went to overdrive; adrenaline surging! Still, you can’t help but admire his passion.
• 1:00 PM: Lunch. Found a hole-in-the-wall diner in Rye, CO. The "Big Jim" burger was… well, it was big. And surprisingly delicious. The waitress was definitely judging my gummy bear purchase yesterday.
• 2:30 PM: More driving. Seriously, how can a state be so big? The miles just drew on. Contemplating life.
• 4:00 PM: Back at the Extended Stay. I decide to take a nap.
• 6:00 PM: Dinner. Trying to find a good restaurant around. Maybe I will take a walk?
• 7:00 PM: Found a local brewpub for dinner. The beer is cold. The food is good. And the atmosphere is… well, people are talking and laughing; the best thing I could ask for.
• 9:00 PM: Back at the room. Maybe I will watch something on the tele. It's late and I am tired.

Day 3: History, Mystery, and Departure (Finally!)

• 9:00 AM: Okay, so the continental breakfast is still dire. But, I've learned my lesson: coffee and a granola bar!
• 10:00 AM: Visiting the Rosemount Museum. The interior is beautiful, truly impressive. The architecture is exquisite. I like the architecture. Actually, all the architecture is amazing. It’s a glimpse into a bygone era. The historical facts? Fascinating, of course. But it’s the feeling of stepping back in time… that’s the real magic.
• 12:00 PM: Lunch at a cafe. They have a great sandwich.
• 1:00 PM: Last-minute souvenir shopping. Pueblo's gift shops are… unique. Found a t-shirt that says, "I Visited Pueblo: I Survived." Fitting, really.
• 2:00 PM: Final trip to the gas station. One last gummy bear fix. I'm starting to see how I can survive any trip.
• 3:00 PM: Pack the bags. Say goodbye to the room.
• 4:00 PM: Driving back home.
• 5:00 PM: Think about the whole experience.
• 6:00 PM: Arriving home.

Final Thoughts:

Pueblo, Colorado. It wasn't what I expected, but it was… something. It wasn't perfect, far from it. But there were moments of beauty, moments of connection. And yeah, the Extended Stay wasn't exactly luxury accommodations. But hey, it kept the rain off my head, and the bed was (relatively) comfortable.

Would I go back? Maybe. Definitely not right away. Maybe. But I'll always remember the pizza, the castle, and the sheer, unadulterated weirdness of it all. And isn’t that what travel is all about? The mess, the memories, and the stories you can tell when you get home. Now, I need to get some proper rest. The travel itself has been more tiring that I realize.

Extended Stay America Premier Suites - Pueblo Pueblo (CO) United States

Okay, so, is Premier Suites in Pueblo… actually *decent*? Spill the tea!

Alright, alright, lemme level with you. “Decent” is the *operative* word here. Look, I'm no hotel snob – I've slept on a questionable futon in a questionable van down by the… well, you get the picture. But Premier Suites? It's… a mixed bag, like a box of chocolates where half are amazing and the other half are that weird nougat flavor nobody likes. My initial thought? "Huh. Okay." Followed swiftly by, "Wait, is that the *entire* continental breakfast?" More on that later. Seriously, though, depends on what you need. Long-term? Probably better than a tent. Short-term, just need somewhere to crash? Manageable, maybe even surprisingly pleasant. You'll get used to the *vibe*. Think of it as… charmingly… utilitarian.

What’s the deal with the rooms? Are they clean-ish?

Okay, clean-ish. Let's be real. "Clean" is subjective, right? My room? Mostly clean. Found a stray hair. (Whispers) My own, thankfully. The bathroom? Spotless. The bed was comfy enough, that's all I needed. It *smelled* clean, and that's half the battle, right? I'm telling you, the room was a relief, especially after driving for hours. Plus, hey, no roaches! (Knock on wood). One time, though, I checked in and there was a *noticeable* stain on the carpet. I mean, HUGE. I'm not sure what had gone down, but it wasn't pretty. I called the front desk, and bless their hearts, they immediately moved me to a different room. So, yeah, mostly clean, but keep your eyes peeled. They were, at the very least, responsive when things weren't perfect.

Let's talk amenities! What do they *actually* have? And is the gym a joke?

Okay, the amenities. Let's be brutally honest. They *have* the basics. The "free" continental breakfast. Which, as I mentioned, is slightly underwhelming. Think bagels, some sad-looking pastries (that's my polite description). The coffee? Drinkable, but don't expect artisan-roasted. There's a pool! It's outdoors, and I confess I never used it, but it looked...pool-like. The laundry room? Functional. I washed my clothes. Things came out…cleaner. (Small victories, people!). Now, the gym. Oh, sweet Jesus, the gym. Well, it's more like a *room* with some treadmills, a few free weights. It’s small, but has a view, so sometimes it's not all that bad. Don't expect a full-blown, state-of-the-art fitness center. It's enough to get a quick workout in. If you're a serious gym rat, you'll be disappointed. If you're me, you'll think it's acceptable. You'll be glad they have it.

What about the staff? Are they… human? Or robot overlords in disguise?

The staff? Mostly human. (I think!). Seriously, the front desk people were generally friendly and helpful. One time, I had a serious issue with my key card getting jammed. Three times! Each time, they fixed it, smiled, and didn’t make me feel like an idiot. (Which I totally was, when I realized I was holding it the wrong way). Another time, I had a package delivered… They held onto it nicely for me. The service was prompt and patient. However, I can recall a minor, or maybe a major, incident where it sort of felt there was a misunderstanding about my departure date. It was resolved, but it was a bit, well, awkward. Overall? Expect decent service, with a human touch.

Location, location, location! Is it convenient, or am I gonna be stuck in the boonies?

The location's... pretty darn good, actually. You're close to a lot of, well, stuff. Restaurants, shops, whatever you need. Easy access to the highway, which is always a plus. You're not *in* downtown chaos, which is good. Sometimes you'll hear the train, but it's Pueblo. You'll get used to it. I loved being able to grab a cup of coffee and a quick bite, and I also loved being close to grocery stores for extended stays. All in all, I was thrilled with this feature of the location.

Okay, the biggie: Is it worth the price? Because let's be honest, hotels can be a rip-off!

Okay, the price. Here's the deal. It's a great value, I tell you. It's an extended stay, so prices can be better than other hotels. Considering the location, the rooms, and the…let's call it "functional" – amenities, the price felt fair. In fact, it felt *good*. Now, remember, I'm not expecting the Ritz-Carlton. This isn't luxury. But for a place to stay for a little longer, Premier Suites Pueblo exceeded expectations. I did some price comparisons, and honestly, I'd stay there again for the price alone. It's a solid "yes" from me, especially if you're looking for a longer stay.

Give me the *real* lowdown: What's the single *worst* thing about Premier Suites Pueblo? Be honest!

Okay, the *worst* thing? Ah, this brings me back. The *single* worst thing… hmm… (Thinking hard, remembering all the little quirks). I'd say, and this is subjective, but the overall "vibe" can be a little…soul-crushing. I mean, it's a place designed for extended stays, right? Which means you're surrounded by people who are… well, *living* there, not just vacationing. So, the energy can be a bit, stagnant, a bit… melancholy. I wouldn't go there for a party. It's not that the hotel itself is bad, it's just that you're reminded, every single day, that you're not on vacation. You're… surviving. And the "continental" breakfast, I should add, it just adds to the feeling of… well, you get it.

Okay, so, would you stay there *again*? Be honest!

Actually, yeah, I would. Absolutely. Look, my needs were totally met. It's clean enough, the price is right, the staff is friendly enough. It's convenient to restaurants, the grocery store, the highway. I'm not looking for perfection, I'm looking for a place to crash. And Premier Suites Pueblo? They delivered. It's not going to be the highlight of your vacation. ButHotel Near Me Search
