Casino at the Double Eagle Hotel, Cripple Creek

Nice hotel and casino. We enjoyed all three days. Beautiful area. We will back but we be better prepared for the high altitude. It kicked my butt. We've lived 500 feet 40 years and 9500 feet makes breathing somewhat more difficult and air a bit dry for my taste. We've had fun.

Do not let the breakfast offered by the hotel influence your decision to stay here. We stayed at the hotel in the casino and it was a nice room for the price. It was clean and comfortable and it was reasonably quiet so I could get a good night’s sleep. They claim that you get a breakfast with your room but even when they have a lot of empty seats they tell you the wait for breakfast is 30 to 40 minutes. I’m assuming they’re hoping you won’t take advantage of the $12 breakfast credit that comes with the room and go eat someplace else. I absolutely would not stay here in order to take advantage of the breakfast. If you’re actually expecting to get a breakfast with your meal also expect a long wait. I would suggest staying in another place. I have stayed at other hotels in Cripple Creek and have had no issues getting breakfast in a timely manner. It seems odd that they would have such a long wait for a table to eat breakfast when the hotel, the casino, and the restaurant were not busy. There were many open tables and other people were also waiting to be seated. We immediately left without eating breakfast. We complained at the front desk when we left and they said they would pass it on but nobody made any offer to resolve the situation for us. It is unlikely that I would stay at this establishment again.
