Went with my boyfriend on our 2 year anniversary and stayed in one of the lodges on the castle grounds. The price was very reasonable for the area and what was offered, $119.50 with taxes. The lodge felt a bit more like a convention center as there was some religious youth event going on there. It was different but I didn't mind it much. The room was pretty nice with most accommodations you would expect just no TV which I also didn't care about. Our room was in the basement of the building so there wasn't much of a view. There was snacks put out in the lodge consisting of different trail mixes which were pretty good and lemon water, though I'm not clear if it was for the hotel guests or the youth group. Once we got settled in we walked the grounds which were absolutely stunning with nice sprawling yards and the beautiful castle lit up with pretty lights and the awesome Garden of the Gods formations around. We also explored the castle which was fascinating. The breakfast the next day was decent. Many varieties of juices. There was fruit, eggs, pancakes, bacon, muffins, donuts, yogurt, and cereal. Kind of your standard hotel hot breakfast. Dining in the castle was nice though. Afterwards we hiked more of the property and got a better view of the castle. We also checked out the rose garden. When we returned to the lodge there were huge turkeys roaming around. It was pretty cool seeing them up close. For as charming as the property and the castle was, I felt it was a good deal and a great experience.
