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

The Main Lodge is rustic and beautifully restored!! Great shape for almost 100 yrs old. My cabin was clean! Updated w/tile floors, nice shower, kitchenette, windows that open and bonus skylite. Attached was a private Pergola w/picnic table.
Joey - Lodge Manager is friendly and very accomodating! Look forward to a return visit!

The room smelled mildew because of how old the property was. The renovation was done nicely. The towels were thin. Could use a towel rack in the bathroom. The outlet in the bathroom was behind the mirror. The room is decorated nicely. The price was perfect. Really enjoyed our stay.

This is an historic property that is in process of being renovated. It is a charming collection of adobe style “cabins” that may have been used as a base camp for Pikes Peak. It was easy to locate and parking was good. It will only get better and better. It was a great pet-friendly value for our three night visit to Pikes Peak. It’s also close to Garden of the Gods and Cave of the Winds. Owner is very nice and accommodating. I recommend.

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.

Historic & Clean
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.

we had booked a room in a cabin at the El Colorado lodge.
It turned out we needed to cancel the day of because of some travel restraints. Anyhow we stopped in and the place looked nice and the staff was so kind and understanding of our situation. We are definitely planning to go back and stay some time in the future and were so blessed by there kindness.
