Review of Doubletree World Arena-Colorad...

Easy access from I-25. Close to Cheyenne Mountain ...

Easy access from I-25. Close to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and other area attractions. Newly remodeled entrance with welcoming bar area. Being in a wheelchair our ADA room was right down the main hall. Great pool (warm) & hot-tub with a chair lift for accessibility. Workout area across from pool.
The down side is the beds weren't as soft as I would have preferred. The pillows were nice and fluffy until you would lay your head down, it would be swallowed into the pillow. Making feel like your head was on the mattress. No support. The vanity mirror was too high for me to see myself while sitting. They did have a magnifying mirror that could be plugged in for extra lighting to use. Nothing I could have used without the help to slide it forward and plugged in. Not a lot of vanity space for personal items. Plenty of room in the bathroom to move around, a seat in the walk in shower. (Looked like a metal coffee table) 2 shower heads. 1 adjustable. Again I would need help to move it down. Towels on a closet type of shelf and not easily accessible. No towel hooks to hang used towels on. Bathroom door is a pocket door. No handle to pull it closed. Too thick for my hands to grab a hold of and to heavy to close. The door had recently been patched with putty that had never dried. My husband kept getting it on his hands closing the door for me. Needing ADA type of facilities I understand there are things that just don't work well, but I would hope places would actually try a challenge and see how it works for those of us that need things tweaked a bit. Maybe see how easy it is to use while being stationary in a wheelchair. Just and idea.
I would like to believe the rest of the rooms were a nice. All in all not a bad place to stay.
