Holiday Inn Express & Suites Manitou Springs

Great location and new hotel. Great customer service, clean, beautiful property. The rooms were very comfortable with nice furnishings.

Room was very clean. Conveniently located to easily access Garden of the Gods. Hotel staff were kind and helpful. Room was modern and nice, but breakfast potatoes were undercooked and sausage overcooked.

The room was clean, and the front desk service was excellent. We had a comfortable stay with my family. Its proximity to both Garden of the Gods and the Cog Railway made the location very convenient.

What a great hotel! The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Manitou is about three years old, yet it looks like it opened yesterday. For travelers, its location is excellent, being roughly halfway between the tourist districts of Old Colorado City and Manitou Springs, and a half block from the entrance to US-24. Thanks to outstanding management and staff, the hotel is spotless. Lobby and rooms are a clean, clutter-free Scandinavian-modern design. And “clean” is the word. Chrome fixtures and mirrors in our well-lighted bathroom sparkled. The shower (with plenty of hot water!) features Dove soap and shampoo. The mattresses were perfectly comfortable and the pillows and sheets felt like we were the first guests to use them. From the modern window blinds, Keurig coffee maker, microwave and ‘fridge, everything in our room worked beautifully. Best of all (to me) however, was the outstanding air conditioning! We would set the unit at about 64 degrees for sleeping. After a hot, tiring day of shopping and sightseeing, nothing was more wonderful than to enter our cool, refreshing room, fall on the bed and take a nap. This was helped by the hotel’s walls, which are nearly soundproof. Finally, our room looked west towards a breathtaking view of Pikes Peak, in all its glory. The view was like a great painting that changed hourly. Really, the only danger with the HIE&S-Manitou is that, once you fall into its comfortable lap, you may not want to go sightseeing at all!

All was good. We had one problem. Our room was not cleaned. Bed was comfy . Blanket was very heavy. Asked for a thinner blanket that didn't fit bed.
