Fantastic Place to Stay
My husband and I stayed here for one night to celebrate our anniversary. It was absolutely perfect, and would have been great even for a longer stay. We stayed in a regular room, after great debate about whether or not to get the junior suite. Our room was plenty big and very comfortable, so I'm glad we decided to save the money.
The room had lots of nice touches, with warm red robes, a coffeemaker, and nice smelling toiletries. The heated toilet seat was a novelty but in reality not all that exciting.
Service is where the hotel really stands out. Everyone we came across, from the front desk staff to bellmen, valets, housekeeping and restaurant staff were wonderful. Of course, a service fee (mandatory) is added to your bill - but I don't mind paying when the service is this extraordinary. They bent over backwards for us, and it really made our stay.
The hotel is in Manitou Springs, within walking distance (15 minutes) of the Pike's Peak cograil. You'll find restaurants, shopping, and other attractions also an easy walk away. Garden of the Gods was a quick drive as well. The city of Colorado Springs and the COS airport are also an easy drive.
Breakfast is an extra charge but one that's worthwhile and often quite reasonable especially when booked in a room package. The spread was large with lots of hot breakfast foods available. Dinner at their main restaurant looked great, but unfortunately we only had one night in town and reservations at a different restaurant. Also nice was sitting out on the veranda with a bottle of wine. The street has some people coming and going during the daytime, but really quiets down at night.
Save the money and stay here instead of the Broadmoore. You won't regret it.
