For Immediate Release
Colorado Springs’ Old Town Guesthouse B&B and Tesla
Motors Now Provide Destination Charging
Colorado Springs, CO – June 12, 2015
In a true ‘gold medal win’ for the city, the Old Town Guesthouse B&B in historic west-side Old
Colorado City has become the region’s first lodging host to offer a Tesla Destination Charger for
overnight guests. The unit is complemented by a Clipper Creek Universal EV charger.
“We’re ‘super’ charged-up over this,” (pun intended) say proprietors Dave & Kim Wolinski. “We
became new owners of The Guesthouse just one year ago this past week and this is a wonderful
first anniversary addition to our array of guest services.”
“Tesla Motors, in cooperation with Select Registry, offered us the opportunity to become the first
lodging charging station between Denver and New Mexico. Charging is an amenity for overnight
guests, or $15 for stop-ins as the schedule allows. This installation makes The Springs a new hot
spot on the national electric vehicle map.”
“We’re a very ‘green’ B&B devoted to energy efficiency, conservation, reuse, recycling and a
hypo-allergenic guest environment. Tesla’s foray into pure electric technology seems a perfect fit.
And, being convenient to I-25 in the heart of Old Colorado City near Pikes Peak attractions, local
military bases, Colorado College and the US Olympic Committee training facilities, the Old Town
Guesthouse B&B is truly the ideal home-away for both leisure and business travelers.”
The Colorado Springs Gazette and The Independent have awarded Old Town Guesthouse B&B
“Best of the Springs” nine years in a row. Trip Advisor recently provided the Guesthouse with # 1
B&B rating in Colorado Springs and a Hall of Fame Award for five successive years of Certificate
of Excellence recognition.
Photographs of the property and chargers are available upon request.

www.OldTown-Guesthouse.com
Old Town Guesthouse B&B--a member of Select Registry, Distinguished Inns of North America—
is an award-winning, cozy-chic, eclectic, slightly eccentric, fun and very private inn devoted to the
spirit of historic Old Colorado City. Residentially comfortable public areas offer guests an
exclusive welcome. That’s paired with uniquely themed guest rooms with balconies that feature
fabulous mountain views plus in–room saunas, or private rooftop escapes with hot tubs. And
guests enjoy nightly wine and local brew social hours and a hearty daily gourmet
breakfast/brunch presentation that is the Inn’s hallmark.
The surrounding neighborhood is on the National Register of Historic Places. It offers
opportunities to stop, shop, dine and get casually ‘recharged’ on numerous levels at some 100
independent shops, restaurants, museums and galleries just steps from The Guesthouse.

The Tesla Connection:
Old Town Guesthouse B&B joins a rapidly growing network of resorts in Tesla Destination
Charging, including more than 160 other Select Registry properties throughout the U.S. This new
program provides hotels, resorts, and restaurants around the world with charging equipment and
gives Tesla drivers the freedom to charge wherever they want to travel by replicating the charging
convenience owners are accustomed to at home.
Old Town Guesthouse B&B has one 80A Tesla Wall Connector and one Clipper Creek Universal
Connector for other hybrid vehicles; overnight guests charge for free and non-guests can charge
for $15 based on daily parking availability.
Select Registry properties and other Tesla Destination Charging Locations are hosted on Tesla’s
interactive webpage and will soon be GPS located on Model S’ navigation through a free software
update sent wirelessly to the car. In coming months, Tesla owners will be able to use the Model S
17” touch screen to easily plan trips and locate the property.
