Quality Inn & Suites Manitou Springs at Pikes Peak

The experience was far below expectations. Bathroom Design and Privacy: The glass sliding door shower, toilet, and washbasin are inconveniently located in different parts of the room. The lack of a door or curtain for the glass shower room means that there is no privacy, as it is visible from the rest of the room! Additionally, one corner of the shower room had visible mold. Cleanliness Issues: I found dead insects in the ceiling light’s lampshade, which is both unappealing and unhygienic. There was also a large dirty shoe print on the quilt upon our arrival, which was addressed only after we reported it. Blinds and Window Privacy: Upon check-in, we discovered that the blinds were non-functional and there were no curtains over the windows, compromising our privacy. Toiletries: The toiletries provided were excessively small and inadequate for a comfortable stay.

This location website doesn’t show how rundown it really is. We checked in and it took a while, they couldn’t fine our reservation at first. The room was large, but had laminated floors (noisey). Beds where old and basic mattress. When we tried to connect to wifi, we were told it hadn’t worked for over a week! There was picture hooks on the walls, but no pictures. There was paint stains, remnants of sloppy paint on the walk ways and stairs area needed to be cleaned and painted. The pool area looked like it hadn’t been open in years. The breakfast was ok eggs, biscuits and gravy, fruit, waffles, dry cereal etc. No we won’t recommend.

Very disappointed with the Manitou Springs, CO Quality Inn & Suites. It does not meet the standard of other Quality Inn’s we have stayed at, including not having 24-hour staff on site. From my credit card statement, it appears to have been an EconoLodge at one time. While the room was clean, the attempt to update and renovate is lacking. The painted walls had missed spots and holes where something had been previously hung. The new Bathroom sink faucet wasn’t tight and moved when you turned the water on. Had to go ask for the missing soap for the sink & shower. The sink area of the bathroom was huge, while the toilet and shower shared a closet space. You had to step into the shower or squeeze yourself between the wall and toilet to close the door. Rather than fix the shower ceiling it was just painted over. The work in this room was obviously done haphazardly. While the bed was nice and firm, the comforter needed a good wash to remove stains. The breakfast never changed during our stay. The hot items were the same every day. There was never any fresh fruit and by the end of our stay the Bagels were going stale. As the old saying goes “If you can’t do a good job, then don’t do it at all.”

The room was in good repair, but I didn't find the room very attractive. I think it was the light blue wall paint clashing with the dark brown furniture, and the sole room's picture was missing. Somebody had ripped it off the wall. The room had a large bathroom and an invigorating shower.

I spend 25-30 nights a year in hotels, and have stayed here probably 5-6 times on trips to Colorado Springs over the past 4-5 years, going back to when it was an Econo Lodge (before it became a Quality Inn). Since it's a short drive (essentially adjacent) to Colorado Springs, I'd rather stay in the smaller, much quieter, and virtually crime-free Manitou Springs. This is an older motel, but unless you're really picky or a high needs crybaby, you'll be fine. The owners/management are clearly trying to keep a very old motel in decent shape. It's by no means perfect, but not anywhere near bad or worthy of a negative review. The rooms are clean and modern enough considering the motel's age. The staff is friendly. The breakfast is simple and up to par to middle of the road Choice brand motels. The area is safe, especially compared to virtually anything along I-25 in Colorado Springs. I'm quite tuned in to safety, especially in the parking lot, as I keep tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools in my work truck. The fact that I can park right outside my room and easily watch my truck and walk to it within seconds is huge for me. What else do you want for a simple night's stay? If you want to spend $250+ a night for a fancy room, stay in Colorado Springs and find something along the busy and loud I-25 corridor if that floats your boat. I don't believe there's an elevator, but that doesn't matter to me, as I always ask for a first floor room. Keep this in mind though if it's an issue for you. This has become and will continue to be my go-to motel when I travel to Colorado Springs. After several stays I'm quite at peace with this place. Yes, of course....there's always room for improvement or little things you can nitpick about a very old motel, but the most important things to me have always been covered.

Easy to find. Hotel, bedroom, bathroom all clean. Motel style so we could park rightoutside the room. Breakfast was good, with hot food. Noise from floor above during the night. Plenty of restaurants in Colorado Springs (a few minutes by car).

Horrible hotel the owner and front desk are extremely rude and the rooms are outdated and old would not recommend... ***** usage rampiad... It is old and smelly if you like comfort this is not the place for you. If you are traveling with kids this is not the place for you.

Pics are false! This place is rundown. It advertises breakfast buffet that is none existent. Requested an early check in, only to be told it would be an addition $30 per room. The front desk is not monitored all night. No extras at this place……

First of all, and if it was made clear in the reservation process, I missed it, this is a motel so calling it a Quality Inn & Suites is a little misleading. The other negative not highlighted in the booking process was the lack of a 24 hour front desk. Those things said, exterior appearance of the hotel and lot maintenance need attention. It would go a long way if they lined the lot, fixed the lights and cleared out the abandoned pool area, filled it in and made some kind of patio there. As it is, gives the look of a derelict building. Check in was smooth. They give you three key cards...just in case yours gets erased. Upon entering was when I learned of the limited office hours. Room was spacious and recently remodeled. Interior was very nice and clean. The only problem with the room was that the knob for the heater in the bathroom was gone so I couldn't turn it off as it fought with the AC. TV didn't work or, if it did, no one gave the combination to get it running. Guessing they were having cable issues as the one in the breakfast lounge didn't work either. Bed was okay. Worst part, and something they have no control over, road noise gets you up by 6:30 a.m. Make sure you have ear plugs unless you're a really heavy sleeper. Quality of breakfast was a pleasant surprise in that it was well stocked and fresh. Gravy was hot and biscuits were perfect. Plenty of fruit, breads, yogurt, etc. Wasn't expecting it to be that good with the few people there. No one was at the desk and I was in a hurry to hit the road to make a reservation on time so I just dropped the keys and left.
