Pikes Peak Inn

My wife and I stayed at Pikes Peak Inn for 3 nights in early April. Since it was off season, there was only 2-3 rooms booked so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The owners are extremely pleasant and personable. The bedrooms are large and the bathroom was tiny, but did have good water pressure. Situated next to Fountain Creek, you can sit outside under the gazebo and listen to the rushing water. The best part is the location, only a half block from where the main strip starts, tons to see and do.This will definitely be my home base on future returns to the area.

We had an AWESOME stay!! Aleece is SOOOOOO sweet!! We were there for the Pikes Peak International Race. We had a crazy night (got to the race at midnight and didn't get back until 7pm the next day). Since we were traveling there from CA, we didn't have blankets, chairs or some of the essentials people bring to prepare for a long long day of unpredictable weather and excitement. I asked Aleece if she wouldn't mind lending us a couple spare blankets and she even offered their outdoor chairs up! She let us borrow a thick blanket and a second one. We were able to use them to make a bed in the back of our rented Jeep and got some sleep and kept us warm. She even told us not to worry if we ruined them. We ended up buying 2 fold up chairs from Safeway and gave them to her the next day, as we couldn't bring them back. She said she would keep them there for the next time we come to visit! She was friendly, accommodating, the room was super clean, and in a fantastic location. Can't wait to have a reason to stay there again in the future!

Good rates, good rooms. The owners bent over backward to make our stay special and I would stay there again if in the area. One of the biggest advantages of the Inn is its proximity to downtown Manitou and the local attractions such as Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds. The one drawback is the spotty wireless internet coverage.

We picked it because the sign said creek side hot tub. After 10 hrs of driving, that sounded very appealing. That was a big lie. However, they will direct you to where you can pay extra to sit in someone else's hot tub. They do not laundry on premises. They will point out the 24 laundromat you can use instead. And the door did not lock very well. Continental breakfast was simply coffee & day old danish. Nothing kid friendly like fruit, juice, or milk. I love Manitou Springs, but I will never return to this establishment.

Through was exceptionally comfortable. The bed and linens made it very difficult to crawl out the next morning as I wanted to stay in bed. The bathroom was gorgeous and the room I was in 101 had a bathtub with jets

Family owned and operated. The owners are very sweet and nice. We were there in the off season and it was very quiet, but apparently they are very busy during the summer. Don't worry, even though they never answer the phone they are open. The rooms are adequate: clean, spacious, new TVs, minimal amenities, decent bed, a little loud. Great location, walking distance to all that is Manitou.

It's ok. Clean, but old school. Strange looking people hanging around. If u r looking for crisp, modern not here. It's great because it is close to downtown. We stayed in a queen/king suite?!?! Only one room was cooled with AC. Take it for what it is.

This place was awesome! The location was perfect--nearby to everything--and the rates were completely reasonable. The wireless service was a little spotty, but the friendliness and extreme courtesy from the innkeeper made this one of my best motel experiences ever!

The good: The location of the motel is excellent. The quirky shops and restaurants of Manitou Springs are out the door. It IS located directly next door to the fire and police station but luckily there were no emergencies the night we stayed. The motel is also perpendicular to the road so I think it helps with road noise, etc. Generally the room was clean. No dust. Very clean bathroom. No visible carpet stains. Bed linens weren't stained, stale, or musty smelling. The room was at the end of the row of rooms so close to the creek. Front desk staff was incredibly friendly and nice. Check in/out was smooth and seamless. The bad: I don't know if the pet friendly room was the reason but the room was incredibly small. It was TINY. There was no thermostat/ac/heat but a small plug in space heater and a small plug in floor fan. It smelled a bit funky and there was no soap in the bathroom. Some of the towels were stained. The biggest dealbreaker was the door does NOT have a deadbolt or any security other than a little button on the door knob.I can put up with a lot and the location was really great, but the lack of security and the price for what we got keeps me from wanting to come back.

We stayed one night. The shower was very small 4' x 4', the shower head didn't look like it had ever been cleaned. In the morning the bathroom floor was wet, the shower head had been dripping all night. There was a three-quarter inch gap under the door, and a stain on the bed sheet. I understand the hotel is old, but I was disappointed.
