Hotel is nice, but dated and does need attention. Restaurant was the saving grace. Food was superb
Pros:

The property needs a refresh. There was construction going on where the entire front drive area was torn up. Renovations were underway inside the hotel as well. Parking was a bit of a mess upon arrival. Checking in was hectic. There was a large group when we arrived and then two other check in's in front of us. Only one person was available to check people in.

Cons:

Not informed of current construction being underway and at this price point, the check in should have gone much smoother. Staff however were super friendly.

Ok but disappointed
Pros:

Renovations ongoing. Parking difficult due to lack of signage. Seemed some odors result of construction As

Cons:

As above. Felt price should have discounted in light of construction.

Gorgeous spot. Will be an incredible place once the renovations are done.
Pros:

The property is absolutely gorgeous and in a perfect spot for exploring Manitou Springs.

Cons:

The only issue was that the hotel is undergoing renovations that left many central parts closed and the elevator nearest the entrance not working for most of our stay. The elevator to the back of the hotel was working, but it was quite a long way away with a luggage cart. We were fine taking the stairs to the 4th floor most of the time, but some people would find that difficult. I’m sure once the facelift is done it will be extraordinary.

Extremely Disappointed. Ruined family vacations and mothers days
Pros:

Location was great.

Cons:

Huge renovation happening with no notice would wake us up at 8am. We were given a room with windows right underneath heavy equipment, which was active on Saturday. zero notice from the hotel, which is completely unacceptable.
We also booked a room for 3 and it took 5 requests to get an extra bed to the room.
Lastly, room key didn’t work and needed to be re-coded for every single access to the room. Huge pain.

Extremely disappointed with the hotel. Will not come back and do not recommend to anyone

Overall a good stay.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The bath towels & all towels were rough like sandpaper . I asked to get better softer towels but they said that’s the kind of towels for the entire hotel.
Also having to valet our car instead of us parking our car ourselves in the garage was very inconvenient.

Dated, mildew smelly rooms
Pros:

I booked a room at around 10 pm and showed up within the 20 minutes later. I was given a room that faced a brick wall. In addition the room had a terrible mildew smell that I couldn't take breathing for more than a few minutes. After requesting to change to a different room I was categorically denied a replacement even though the hotel was empty. I hauled my luggage up and down steep stairs and pushed a luggage cart through long hallways. Once my luggage was back in the car then the receptionist informed me that he'll upgrade my room. I requested to see the second room and one of the other hotel staff took me there. To no surprise the second room was just as stinky as the first one. The smell was gagging. I declined the substation and was told that I'll get a full refund and the general manager was supposed to approve it in the morning. It's been over 2 weeks and I'm still trying to get my refund. The manager declined my initial request stating that since I was given a substitution I don't deserve a refund which is absolutely not what the receptionist assured me the night I was there. It feels like these people are unprofessional and scam tourists any time they can.

Not worth an overnight stay.
Pros:

The staff was nice. The staff in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast were nice as well. The bed was comfortable. The food was good in the restaurant.

Cons:

The a/c roared and clunked with a noisy sound. Musty smell from the hotel being old, 150 years. Chlorine fumes were strong coming from running the faucet water and the shower. I did not feel comfortable showering as I was worried about the chlorine on my skin. The water pressure my husband noted was too poor regardless to even get the soap off or wash my hair. We drove home a day early and was disappointed. Still in the process settling with hotel as they told Booking they offered me a suite and compensation for my meals which they lied about. They said they would not talk to me about any of this since I booked with Booking. Also it would have been nice to know they also charge for parking. I wouldn't trust getting under the water with my skin or drinking it and this should be noted in their description.
