My husband and I came to colorado on short notice and we stayed at El Colorado Lodge. We were in Cabin 6 and it was literally home away from home. It was a very clean two bedroom cabin with one bathroom and a kitchenette, fully furnished with silverware pots pans plates. The fireplace in the evening was wonderful spending time... More

We had checked into a different motel, but had to leave as it was dirty ... We called and asked if they allowed pets, which they do! They told me they had a place available too! We checked into #28 a large stand alone cabin with a king bed plus (a futon which looked a bit soiled) however we only... More

We came into Manitou Springs on a whim, needing a place to stay. The charm of the lodge from the street is what had us stop here, and I'm glad we did! The staff is super friendly and respects their guests privacy, which I love. The place is set up with individual cabins, most with fireplaces and kitchenettes. Would recommend... More

Three friends and I stayed here one night as part of a Book Club get-away. We stayed in Cabin #2. The most positive thing I can say is that the two bathrooms were clean. All three bedspreads had stains on them. The futon was very soiled, as were the dining chairs around the table. The dishes in the cabinet all... More

Probably a good price compared to other places. It is on the main road ( at night quiet) about 15 minute drive to Pikes Peak tram. We had a 2 room cabin with ensuite. There was no dining table to eat at?? Kitchen is functional - small .If you drive to Pikes Peak tram book morning departure & get there... More

Our group rides our bikes each year to El Colorado and we love it. The space is perfect for our cookouts and the rooms are great for sharing with other couples. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the location is perfect. The best time is when the deer were walking right in front of us across the property.... More

If you are looking for quiet, no "guests upstairs or down stairs or next door, or in the hall outside your door" disturbing you, this is the place. The grounds are quite large and nice for walking. Staff was friendly, helpful, and unobtrusive. The pool really was "heated". It's location was very near a lot of the site's we wanted... More

We held our family reunion at El Colorado Lodge this year, and everyone loved the place. It is located close to many of the area tourist attractions. The place is old, but that gave it charm and character. The rooms were clean and bug free. There were many different cabin layouts to choose from, and pets are allowed in some... More

I can't say enough about El Colorado so this will be a little long. We just held a family reunion there for 37 people from 7 states and we loved it (June 23-26). Due to various family sizes, we booked rooms for 2 people up to entire families. The staff allowed us to hold the rooms for a couple of... More
