All…read morethe Clark Gable photos adoring the walls were awesome and definitely gave that old hollywood vibe. The bathtub was easy to use, spacious, and super relaxing. We were very comfortable and felt like we had every amenity we needed although their ice delivery system is a bit tedious and not the best system for having access to ice since you can only get it delivered. Otherwise, the hotel is in a perfect location where many local shops, restaurants, and attractions are walking distance. Doesn't get the full five stars because I struggled to get a hold of the front desk to gain access to the hotel at one point and I also called the front desk from my suite several times with no response which was inconvenient. But otherwise, highly recommend a stay here overall!!

They offer a continental breakfast each morning from 7am-9am. Perfect fuel up food and coffee for adventuring! You can tell this a family owned motel, they care about making sure we had a comfortable stay. Our room was spacious and clean, had everything we needed. It was so easy to get around, it's centrally located in town so we could walk to restaurants and shops. The free shuttle picks and drops off right outside the motel (loved this service!!). We visited Garden of the Gods, Cog Railway to Pikes Peak, and hiked Manitou Incline twice in our three day visit. I highly recommend staying at the Villa Motel for your Manitou Springs vacation!

The young man who checked us in was very nice, polite, and helpful. However, I would not recommend…read morethis hotel until it undergoes some major renovations. The rooms, carpeting, AC unit, and linens all had a musty, moldy smell. The bathtub was stained, and the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash containers were broken and nearly empty. The toilet seat was broken and unstable. The TV wasn't working, and when we requested assistance that evening, the evening employee suggested unplugging it and plugging it back in. He never offered to come to the room and look at it but explained that this was the only solution he knew to try and would call the owner. Unfortunately, we were unable to watch TV until the following day. To make matters worse, the exterior of the hotel was being spray-painted, which limited parking and exposed our new white SUV to paint particles. The painters attempted to cover our vehicle with plastic, but it blew off and our vehicle was s exposed to potential damage. Although the young man at check-in was courteous and helpful, the overall condition of the hotel was unacceptable. Management needs to address these maintenance and cleanliness issues before I could recommend staying here.

It was absolutely perfect for the 4 of us girls to have a girls weekend. We were greeted by I believe the owner (Larry) at the front door and he allowed us to check in early at no additional cost. Super nice gentleman. Made checking in smooth and quick. Each time we came and went he made sure our room was good and if we needed anything. At the end of the night he provided us some board games and dominoes for us to play in our room. Great service for sure! The room was super cute and made you feel at home. It was quite large with 3 queen beds, a couch, coffee table, small dining table, a desk, a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. It was quite the setup. My only complaint would be that the bathroom is super tiny, otherwise great room! I would highly suggest this place for someone staying in Manitou. Affordable, great service and easily walkable to downtown Manitou with all of the shops and restaurants.

Cramped room layout, tiny bathroom, broken ice machine, small and too quiet TV. NOT located near the Cog Railway, as the name would suggest. Poorly lit parking. Oh, and don't open the drapes, the view is of a boarded up building, a few feet from the window. Guy at the front desk was nice, but poorly trained, I wish him luck in finding a better gig.

The bathroom had mold, rotting wood, and a towel that was strung up as a curtain over the window. The bedroom smelled like urine, so we left the windows open while we slept, even though there were no screens on the windows. I'm baffled by reviews that say the coffee and breakfast was great, because the breakfast is just prepackaged pastries. The pool looked great but they do cover it up at 9 PM and you cannot swim after that time. Also, when we pulled in there was a guy working on his vehicle and parked in front of our door. My advice: look for a better place to stay.

Cons: - none of my communications through Booking.com were awnsered so I had to call and confirm I could bring my dog. - the window in the bathroom was broken (frame was apart and glass was just sitting there). I spoke to the gentleman at the desk about this after checking in and he said they were aware and have been unable to get a person out to replace it. Room 140. - only one room key - one out of the two queen beds had a terrible sag and was very uncomfortable. - terrible finishing skills on tile and trim work. Definitely not done by a professional or even someone knowledgeable. - no alarm clock or radio - freezer door broken so it froze all of our fridge goods. - no extra towels given for 4 guests Now all of the good stuff: - Clean!!! - comfortable pillows and 1/2 beds - good atmosphere - fridge/microwave - Wi-Fi and cable - huge tub - large pool, heated but still frigid. - plenty of outside seating - walking distance to shops and food

It's even a few steps above glamping as it should be for the steep price. However, if you want to experience a few days in a great outdoors The Ranch at Emerald Valley is perfect. After 4 nights at the Broadmoor resort (also amazing) we took the 2pm shuttle up a rocky mountain road to the Ranch. We were greeted by Aaron, a fellow Northwestern alum (go Wildcats) and his incredible staff. There were 38 people total our first night there, which the told us was a record for the Ranch. It didn't feel very crowded though (especially after the craziness of the resort) and most of the people had kids the same age as ours which was a lot of fun. They showed us to our cabin, Hills Cabin, which I realized was the "presidential cabin." It was a huge 2 bedroom cabin that had enough room for 6 kids up in loft up top and a beautiful master suite. + 3 bathrooms and a ginormous kitchen/dining room that we didn't really put to use. It also have a big TV with Netflix and a lovely fireplace. There's a 3rd bedroom that's attached to it, although the 2nd night we were there it was rented by another couple with a separate entrance. There's plenty of fun to be had at the ranch: horseback riding, paddleboats/kayaks, archery, fishing, hiking etc. And if you get a rainy afternoon there are plenty of board games to play both in the lodge and in the cabin. We spent 2 nights here, although with the rain wish we had an extra night to enjoy some of the activities we didn't have a chance to squeeze in. The food was absolutely amazing. My picky children were even in heaven and my little guy has been asking for lobster ever since trying it as their Wed night cookout. Dinners besides the twice a week cookout involves ordering off a menu with plenty of choices for all. I do wish they did a better job with labeling the buffet with food allergies. My son has a serious nut allergy and almost ate a brownie with walnuts because it wasn't labeled and I had to constantly ask if things had nuts and/or gluten in them. They asked for our dietary restrictions ahead of time so assumed they'd be better about this. This really was a very special experience that I think our kids will remember for a long time. I heard this coming week a big family is renting out the entire ranch and I'd love to do the same with family and/or friends at some point, although it was fun getting to know some lovely people from around the country as well.

If you dig that western, right off the old US highway vibe, the Eagle is perfect. It's clean, quiet, well maintained, modern bathrooms and cost effective. Get yourself a modest breakfast and coffee in the lobby. Fridges, coffee pots and air conditioning in the rooms too. I love the hard working couple who run the place. They go above and beyond to make you happy. I've even called them on the day of, without a reservation on a summer weekend and they still somehow set aside a room for me. The only thing is they close up shop around 7pm, so if you check in late, give them a call first and they'll arrange to leave your key. So I guess I'm saying give these nice folks your money. And if you're looking for a room in Manitou, beware that there are some very sketchy motels on the Manitou strip, but this isn't one of them. Stay here. Peace!
