Garden of the Gods Resort and Club
"If you’re looking for a place that truly captures the beauty of Colorado, Garden of the Gods Resort is hard to beat. The views are simply breathtaking—the best I’ve ever had from any hotel. Waking up to the towering red rock formations with Pikes Peak rising behind them is something you won’t forget. ..."

Days Inn by Wyndham Manitou Springs
"The 1st room itself was clean, the second room we got had dingy linens, dirty bathtub, the floors in the whole hotel were dirty. The gym had no water, one treadmill, bike and elliptical. Breakfasts coffee was horrible, food was not great. Don’t recommend. The whole area is sketchy."
