What guests think

At Magnuson Hotel Manitou Springs, travelers highlight clean rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient base for Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak, though the older, motel-style property shows wear with dated carpets, thin walls, and some maintenance quirks.

An indoor pool and hot tub, ample parking, and a handy shuttle stop earn praise, but there’s no elevator and the pool can run cold. Rooms are often spacious yet dated, with limited outlets, frequent lack of microwaves, and noise from neighboring rooms or floors. Breakfast is a basic continental spread that many find adequate but light on protein and variety. Expect a clean, budget-friendly stay with trade-offs typical of an older motel.

Older hotel, but clean and kept up. No elevator to second floor. That would’ve been nice. Nice breakfast. Waffle maker, cereal, breads, yogurt, etc. The town’s free shuttle stops literally across the street. Bath towels are nice and fluffy, but don’t dry you off, AT ALL. You have to stand there and air dry before you can get dressed. Staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable for the most part. Perfect central spot for all the surrounding attractions.

Front desk was nice, check in was easy. Not a whole lot of options stocked for breakfast. They had some muffins, bread, bagels, waffles, hard boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal and yogurt as options. So not horrible. Hot tub was nice, pool was freezing cold. Over all it was a good place to stay for the price.

Hotel was safe, convenient, plenty of parking. Was great to have the indoor pool / hot tub. Only improvement would be to have updated flooring in rooms instead of older carpet.

Our room wasn't the cleanest. The floor looked like it hadn't been vacuumed after the previous occupants. Our room also wasn't cleaned while we were out for the day. There were also drunk people out in the parking lot being super loud all night. I wouldn't stay here again.

The place is older but clean and comfortable. The rooms are large and have a larger than dorm size refrigerator and a seating area. Beds and linens are good as well as towels. Lighting is great. We enjoy the seating outside, and depending on where your room is, there is a great view of the incline and Pikes Peek. Always had a place to park and everyone that we ran into that worked there have been great!

We were driving 10 hours from Utah to our hotel. The man at the front deck kindly called to check in on us and even offered to make arrangements for after hours check just in case we were running late. The bed was soft can comfortable. The hot tub and pool were clean and had towels available for us. They had a variety of breakfast options as well. They even offered a small map of the area witj coupons. The staff were the nicest hotel staff I've ever interacted with.

Property was easy to find, room was clean, but the a.c unit was noisy, bath towel had a hole in it, soap bars were tiny and hard to hold while using. Front desk only had one person so at check in I was left waiting for 15 minutes while the young employee had to answer question after question from someone on the phone looking to book 4 rooms but obviously had not bothered to look online first before calling the hotel. However, in all fairness, having a second person available with only one computer would not have helped my situation. A second computer would have also been needed. I did not use the pool or partake of the breakfast. so I can’t review those items.

All as advertised, so good. A little far from town center so not walkable for us, and in-town parking is about $3 per hour. Manitou is not quiet anymore, not the hotel's fault. Not sure the difference between a hotel and a motel these days--room entrances are on the outside (not inside halls). Lobby furniture is very worn--not a great first impression.

Dining

Breakfast is a basic continental setup that many find adequate, but recurring feedback notes limited variety and a lack of protein, and the dining area can feel small.

We would have loved a few more protein options for breakfast. Nice to be able to make a waffle, toast, cereal, etc tho. The rooms are clean but if you're a light sleeper bring some earplugs as noise travels through the walls.

We had a good stay in Manitou Springs, primarily because it is so close to Garden of the Gods, Old Colorado City, and the Red Rocks Open Space (all of which were terrific). The two Magnuson hotels are better than most in Manitou, but could use a face lift and a hot breakfast.

Nothing special for this price. The price is base on two occupants, so expect additional fees if you have 4 people. We stayed there one night, 2 rooms. The offered breakfast... I will not call a breakfast. The staff was quite nice and patiently answering my questions.
