We booked a non-smoking room with two queen beds at Pikes Peak Inn -- and from the start, it felt…read moreless like a hotel stay and more like a failed Turing Test. Upon booking, you're hit with a message: "All reservations are subject to a $150 refundable incidental authorization." Fair enough -- but then begins the descent into a customer service black hole. Shortly after booking, I got a text telling me to register and check in before 2 PM on the day of arrival. No front desk, no lobby, no humans -- just a lonely number that sends you texts but refuses to answer them. I emailed. I called. I texted. I even whispered to the wind. No reply. Ever. All I wanted was confirmation that our room had two queen beds and clarification on how we'd actually get into the room. But apparently, the "GM" is a malfunctioning AI who knows how to send messages but not read them. Check-in day arrived and so did my anxiety -- I had kids with me and didn't want to be stranded with luggage, teens, and no access to a room. Finally, at 3:08 PM, the magic text came: our room number, smart lock code, and Wi-Fi password. No apology, no reassurance. Just cold, robotic data. We checked in around 6 PM, and here's the twist: The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The floor, toilet, and room were spotless. A few towels seemed like they skipped the wash cycle. And yes -- the location is actually perfect: right at the start of downtown Manitou Springs, within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and attractions. But... remember how we booked a room with two queen beds? There was only one. That second bed? A myth. A legend. A ghost in the reservation system. So I gathered the family and said: "Alright troops, we've got one bed, four people, two teens, and zero dignity. Let's make this work. This is character building!" I tried texting back the number -- you know, the one that says "reply here if you have any concerns." Still no reply. Not then, not after checkout, not ever. I even went to the so-called "office" -- which is just an empty building that probably hasn't seen a human since 2019. And the walls? Paper-thin. I could hear the next room changing their minds. We didn't even bother with the shower. We slept, packed, and ran. Summary: * Location: Fantastic -- right at the entrance to downtown Manitou * Bed: Comfortable * Room & bathroom: Clean overall * Towels: Some seemed... pre-loved * Customer service: Nonexistent * Communication: One-way. Like yelling into the void. * Beds promised vs. received: 2 1 * Overall vibe: Digital dystopia Final Thoughts: Pikes Peak Inn feels like it's run by a sleep-deprived chatbot, programmed by someone who forgot customer service is a thing. The location and clean room are the only things saving this review from a flaming zero. Unless you're okay with ghost beds, silent management, and total self-reliance, this place is a gamble. And if you're someone who appreciates actual communication, human contact, or basic hospitality? Run. Two stars -- one for the one bed that actually existed.The second bed -- and the manager -- are still missing in action. The 2nd star is for the location.

I personally was not impressed at all with this local Inn. I don't know what I was expecting but…read morethis wasn't it. Was it clean? Yeah in my casita type converted garage type room. It was clean but I felt the entire place was a free for all. I am not a big group type person and was kind of retreated and stuck in my room. Then the main house is huge and beautiful but the community rooms were messy- the kitchen was just gross in the middle of the day. There was a vending machine but the one breakfast offered was NOT at an appropriate time for me or my daughter. I eat before 8am and I could have made it until 9 am but the cooking wasn't even started and the kitchen was still trashed by 10 am the next morning. There was still a stinky pizza box on the counter when I was looking for a cup of coffee and we had left to eat every single time so we had eaten by the time the breakfast was being started and the guy cooking (NOT THE REGULAR CHEF) wasn't even started by 9:30 and honestly looked hung over as heck. I do not feel I got a $300 experience at all. It felt like I went to a big house party and paid too much to be there. I could have had a better time at a private air BnB where I had to cook and clean myself. I am not exaggerating even a little this was a horrible experience for me and even if they offered me a free stay there another time I would absolutely decline to do so. The whole thing taught me that I am not a bed and breakfast type person unless breakfast is before 8am and the people running the place are WAY MORE TIDY; (at least having coffee made earlier than 8am); I didn't enjoy my stay the way I had hoped I would and it wasn't comfortable enough to lounge at for me. I thought it would be great for my service dog also and he didn't mind the festival going on but this place isn't designed to have a festival. There isn't enough space. Other people were just hanging out everywhere also smoking cigs. Yuck! I am fine with. Cannabis anything but cigarettes in my breathing air is not ok with me. Ever. So if I have to smell that I will not be pleased. It could prossibly be better on a weekend when there isn't anything extra happening. The event was a complete joke but that absolutely wasn't because of the Inn or any of the Inn staff but it ruined my experience. In fact I spent all day in Manitou not at the festival. The town is amazing and fun it was the best part of our trip being anywhere but our room. NOTICE: I did get to meet the regular chef from the Inn he was kind and friendly but definitely frustrated himself over it all. So, I am sorry I have to leave this review but it absolutely is not some place I would recommend now. It really was filthy in the main house. I wish I had been there when the regular staff was in charge. I had a better stay at the La Quinta in Pueblo on the way to Manitou and that isn't much so hand up I have to be honest and this was my real experience. There are no pictures of my room or the house because like I said I was not even impressed enough to take one. Not even one. The pictures posted by others is real but they got the clean version not weekend at Bernie's like me.

My wife always wanted to stay in a caboose and since her birthday was coming up, I booked us in for a weekend. And I pretty much won the weekend. The inside is beautifully decorated and painted.

We had our own private hot tub off the back of the caboose Lynda, the owner, was fabulous, and helped us out with dining suggestions, even keeping us apprised of weather and potential flash flooding warnings. We followed her recommendations and weren't disappointed. I highly recommend the breakfast as well. We were greeted at our door in the morning to mimosas, then bacon and eggs, and a delicious type of fresh fruit tart/pancake.
