It wasn’t what I expected. The staff was very friendly, our ac control was in another room. It has permanent residence. Location was great. I would recommend to stay though. The pros out way the cons.

Got up in the morning and shower didn't work. Sink just dribbled. Surely management knew this! Tv remote non working.. Steer clear of this place!

Huge rooms, older place, very cozy. If you need a good place to get some rest for the night its great. Flowing creek behind with lots of wildlife. Super friendly squirrels and mule deer.

I literally saw 2 cockroaches on bathroom walls!! Eeeeew and carpet made my childrens feet black within minutes!! Old scratchy comforter, multiple large dead cockroaches stuck on wall. Seriously a $25 a night charge wouldn't be okay. Really gross. Do NOT STAY HERE. Pay an extra $30-40 for no bugs, cleanliness and safety. When I confronted the owner at the front desk and explained and showed pictures she literally went insane psycho told me she was going to call the cops and I said for what LOL period because I pictures and you really need to clean up your hotel and not put fake reviews like I don't understand you should be apologizing she went absolutely insane never ever go

The room was clean and quiet, the bed was comfortable and nice. I think it would be better to change or repair a window curtain with a hole for privacy and safety.

We stayed for 1 night. The lodge is walkable to restaurants and has a flowing stream behind it. We ate breakfast by the stream and 2 deer walked within 50 feet of us. We couldn’t find a thermostat in the room. The heat was not consistent in the room and it smelled like cigarettes when on. Otherwise, a great stay.

The motel is old but very nice and very classic and very clean, The bathroom door would not lock because the locking mechanism was in need of repair but other than that everything else was okay

So quiet and tranquil sitting at the mountain creek behind the hotel. Everything we wanted to see was in walking distance! Superb and friendly service. Our second stay and looking forward to our next stay here…

The lady at the front desk was absolutely lovely. The rooms have small balconies. It’s very clean, but the decor is outdated a bit and is less modern.

it was ok

Older hotel but very clean. MJ was very nice and check in was easy. Beds were very comfortable. Small outdated bathroom with a very small shower with low water pressure but it served well for the 2 night stay. Easy access to a lot of places so the location was very good.

Some of the decor is on the dated side, but the place is a quaint little motel.

Very clean and nice rooms. Front deak help was amazing and very welcoming. Little balcony to look down at small creek flowing through the backyard. Seating area with grills to use. Very pleasant

Close to garden of the gods and wonderful downtown Manitou springs and pike’s peak. Marvelous small balcony to sit and listen to the bubbling spring. Not fancy, but awesome for the price.

pictures in website is totally different from what we found, the smell inside the unit is bad, the AC control is not in the unit itself, its in the management office and if you want to turn it ON/OFF or change the setting you have to call the office, some time they don't answer, and they closed at 10PM, so if its cold or hot after 10PM you can do nothing. the rain gutter pour rain water at the unit main door

For an older motel it was pretty good. The water pressure and amount of hot water was questionable

Very friendly place, was probably top of the line 40 years ago. Needs a major redo, 2nd time there so knew what to expect. Nice area behind motel when weather is nice,along a mountain stream with wildlife around, tables and chairs for relaxing.

Had to call posted number to gain access to lobby to check in. Bed had 3 pillows that wouldn't make one single normal size pillow put together. Ice machine padlocked, unable to use. Toilet wouldn't flush properly, had to hold handle down till almost over filled, plunger in room. Balcony big enough for 2 people to stand on. Can see 1 rock formation of garden of gods. Overall, descent but over priced

Before registering at the front desk, I asked if I could see the room. The attendant seemed offended and asked why people ask when she assures them that all the rooms are definitely clean. She asked, "don't I look clean?" At first she seemed unwilling to allow me to see the room, but when I persisted, she agreed to let me check the room out first. The room seemed a bit outdated and needed some basic touch-up and repairs. It was later in the evening, and not wanting to go through the process of cancelling online and trying to book another motel with short notice, I decided to stay, but was slightly uncomfortable with the attendants attitude and lack of customer service. The shower did not work, which was very disappointing! No amenities were offered. Overall the motel and the manager left a lot to be desired. I would not want to visit the motel again in the future and would not recommend it to anyone else. A partial or full refund seems in order simply for the lack of a workable shower.

Our stay was very relaxing and beautiful view of deer and squirrels playing by the creek. I would highly recommend it.

Very quaint and nostalgic. Our room was great, but could use new carpet or other flooring. So convenient to Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods. Easy walk to some food choices. Pretty stream in the back! Staff is wonderful.

The lady was very welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and out together nicely. My kids loved the creek behind the hotel.

This is our 5th time staying here. The property needs updating for sure but its clean and quiet. The owners r very nice people. The creek in the back does make this motel quaint and different. If your looking for high luxury this isnt the place but if you want affordable,quiet,basic, accomodations i recommend.

A little bit outdated. the sink tubes were disconnected from the wall when we got there. we had to put it together. the AC didn’t really work. the only good thing from it was the parks were closed by and the staff was very nice.

The smoke detector battery started chirping at 2:30 am. We didn’t get any sleep after that. It was terrible. I could also hear the person in the next room snoring most of the night.

They have shared conditioners and they not even disclose it. NOT COVID safe places. They did not inform us about shared conditioner for 4 units, other people who had control are smoking people kept it very cold, we came to room after dinner with kids, and got totally frosted, kids got sick. With shared air no clues what they got sick with. Avoid this place at all cost.

I liked the location and easy parking. I have been coming to this motel for several years. Although the own is very kind, professional and accommodating; the rooms, beds and doors are showing their age.

The owners were really nice. Could use some updating in rooms

The room and the bedding was very clean and the beds were comfortable. I had a room on the upper area that is at road level, but I couldn't hear the night time traffic at all, though I do keep the air conditioning running on at least fan all night. There are many video cameras and as a single female I certainly felt safe being there on my own. And the location is great for a live music bar diagonally across the road, and some options for food within easy reach.

Third time staying here. Quiet and comfortable

Stayed at the cottage. Not charming or comfortable. Close to the road. No back porch/patio to enjoy the brook running behind the property. Majority of windows let the noise of the road inside. Broken blinds don’t block the sun. Dirty broken floor vents ( just disgusting). Very small sleeping futon ( for a short person) covered in stains. There is a TV but with the futon turned to bed there is no space for all the people to sit. The entryway/living room/futon room is tiny. The place is suppose to accommodate up to 7 people. There is a tiny table in the kitchen with 2 wobbly bar stool. And the table is regular height. There were 3 forks in the drawer. Odd number of plates and cups, etc. I got the place with a kitchen to use the kitchen. There is no place to cook. Microwave/coffee maker/toaster shared an outlet. I had to unplug something all the time. Mattresses are rock hard. Bathtub has a concave bottom and is slippery ( no bath mat ). Some outlets were so old that the plugs for our phones would fall out. Not enough outlets. The buttons on the thermostat broken. There were like 10 hangers to accommodate everyone. No entry closet or even a hook, and no place to put all the shoes. Tiny porch with 2 chairs and the view of the road. Very badly build, very cramped separate building from the main motel. I would not recommend unless you are there to get stoned ( several shops around with one across the street). Charming cottage it is not. More like a halfway house.

Darling little hotel right along the creek. Very quiet with a balcony and lovely views from the porch. There is no breakfast, but there are microwaves and fridges in all rooms and you are right next to amazing cafes and restaurants. Right on the busline too, so you can walk or take the bus into Manitou. The area on the creek has 2 BBQs, and 3 tables available for guest use (charcoal provided, bring utensils). We were traveling with our small dog and he just loved running along the creek and all the new smells. The stairs down to the creek are very steep and I would not recommend this hotel for people with mobility issues (not handicap accessible). This is a good hotel for families and couples, as the kids can play in the grassy area outside.
