We stayed 3 nights at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.  The actual hotel I thought was a little dated, but the grounds and tennis courts, golf courses and spa were gorgeous!!!  The setting looked like a scene out of a fairy tale.

I have to admit, Rob and I did a lot of nothing for 3 days.  We were gearing up for our hike to the summit of Pikes Peak.  I did not even bring my tennis racket to play on those amazing courts.  But Rob really liked the gym.  We had dinner one night at Summit, one of a handful of restaurants on the property and spent a lot of time relaxing and having drinks in a beautiful setting overlooking the lake.

This hotel is a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts, and its loyalty program is through iPrefer, which you can read about here.
I earned about 1,400 iPrefer points on this stay.  The only other times I earned iPrefer points was last year on my stay at the Garden City, New York last summer for a 2 night stay for a swim meet.  Needless to say, I am very far away from using these points for a free night reward.

I do hope to have earn enough Barclaycard Arrival miles to pay for this stay.  I need to earn these miles within 120 days of the charge.  Don’t forget with the Barclaycard Arrival Plus MasterCard, I earn unlimited 2X miles on every purchase and can then redeem my miles for a travel statement credit toward this hotel fare.  I will be using this card A LOT over the next few months!

As I do with every hotel, I explored every nook and cranny of the hotel.  There is a lot for kids to do.  In addition to the golf and tennis, there is a nice pool setting and many other activities.  In fact, the hotel has added some new wilderness camps and lodges that look perfect for a family getaway.  Colorado Springs is a destination that offers tons of hikes, biking trails, adventure parks, and other outdoor activities.  Another stay at the Broadmoor may be in our future.

A huge shout out to CINDY GREENSTEIN, aka The Points Mom, for helping me book our flights to Greece using points. Money wise it would have cost $12k. I learned so much from her! Contact her. You will not be disappointed.
