Motel 229 @ Garden of the Gods

Not what we expected but we made the best of it.

Ran out of Hot water for 2 1/2 days, I left a day before, not a place I would recommend!!

Wouldnt stay again It was a last minute choice for a stay overnight rather than drive 2 hours back home after a concert. Typical of a older hotel/ motel exterior in this town, lobby looked decent but attendant was obviously high as its a 420 friendly establishment could be expected. If i had known it was also a weekly/monthly type place id have passed on staying. Room had been redone with laminate floor/ or vinyl plank didnt look that closely. Trash was still in the can from previous guest. They had to run up tonseenif the room was ready or not and apparently not. Bed was made, no headboard, no outlets near bed for phones, had an older bedspread, top shert and fitted sheet thats it. 3 pillows with two barely making up one normal sized pillow. No extra pillows or blankets in the room. Bed was hard and had a vinyl protector over mattress. Sheets looked like they went to walmart to get them as did shower curtain, mat and towels. Towels were tiny. Sink was clogged. TV remote only worked once you turned the tv on at the tv and had to turn it off at the tv. Was definitely a room built for long termers. Was quiet however and conveniently located to Manitou down town. A place I would have not thought twice about as a 20 something but at 50 definitely were better options for the price. They do have a pool and looked like new hottub for any summer stays.

You do not want to stay here. “No Smoking” signs everywhere, but staff was smoking right in front of one. Entire building smelled of stale smoke. Smoke detector was missing with loose wires hanging from the mount. Trash can had previous occupants trash. I emptied it and asked for a fresh trash bag. Two people said they would bring one, but it never arrived in two days. Bathroom door was falling from the hinges due to wood drywall screws being used to hold the hinges in the metal frame. Fire exit signage I the room was covered with stickers, but the exit from the building was just to the right of our door. The card reader outside that exit door for re-entry was missing with loose wires hanging. Bedding and towels were a mix of rather old, worn out items. The bed was not made up when we arrived in the room, and when someone came to make it, it was the handy man for the property and it was so sloppy we re-made it so the sheets would stay on. There were only three electrical outlets, and one had the TV plugged in, one had the lamp by the bed plugged in, and one had the air conditioned plugged in. Couldn’t charge my phone or computer and sit to use it. The “breakfast was pre-bagged stuff to put in a toaster that was there. On a good note, the coffee was good and the AC unit worked okay but was pretty noisy. “Dump” is overstating this lodge.

Nice place for the price in this area Host was accommodating. I booked for the wrong day and they switched it over and had a room ready for us. The room was clean.

Great place The staff was very accommodating and super friendly
