We liked how quiet and safe it was. Everyone would leave their cabin door open while they were there

Great for a unique stay
It’s a very unique place to stay. Do not expect a 5 star hotel but that’s what we like. We like private and unique - and a safe place for our dogs where people don’t stick their nose up. Perfect for us
This is a cute little spot. 420 friendly too ❤️ no smoking cigarettes tho. It's definitely an old place but super cute and is was way quieter and smelled better than what I honestly expected
We enjoyed our stay. 2 bedroom cabin is layed out oddly but worked for our stop on the way home. Room had definitely been cleaned but the odor of the cleaning products were a little too strong.
What a gem! Love this spot. Wish I stayed here sooner. Great spot to chill out. Lost of food options within walking distance. Got a great cafe right across the street.

Old but nice
Manitou Springs has been renovating their older hotels. This place is like living in a lodge. Our little lodge was clean and roomy.
A clear view of Pikes Peak. Restaurants nearby. Easy access to highways.
We enjoyed staying at El Colorado! The owner and staff were attentive, the room was very clean (I walked around in socks and they stayed clean), and the mattress was comfortable. This is a historic property so updating is complicated but they've done well with keeping it nice. I felt safe and there was lots to do nearby. Great coffee across the street. Was sad to leave.

Super cute property that allows pets. Employees are really nice and helpful. The property could use a cleanup. There is a lot of trash around the grounds. I would stay here again without question!
The charming cottages are modernized but inside there is a perfectly balanced comfort factor and classical taste. Nothing was left to be desired...Absolutely worth the reasonable rate and perfectly located in Manitou Springs. The family run business is so far my favorite stay now in this area. Great, courteous service and 100% clean and cozy.
