The owner was on sight, and incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and dedicated to ensuring we had a positive experience.

I love unique stays so when I saw this converted train car I knew I had to stay here. We stayed for…read morea weekend for my husband's birthday and had an incredible time. Secluded and peaceful location. Creative use of space inside the locomotive with every inch being used to its full potential. Board Games and movies were plentiful within the unit along with a smart tv which amplified the entertainment offerings. Stunning bathroom plus a separate claw foot tub in the bedroom area. It was clean, comfortable, and everything we could have hoped for. It's also walking distance to a wine bar that offered an array of food options and old fashioned flights. I would recommend this air bnb to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle but still have adventure and experiences within a short drive.

I passed by on my way up Pike's Peak one day (it is on the way up!), saw a Caboose in the yard, and…read moremade note of the sign. 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. You have TV and DVD (there are some movies to chose from), wireless, coffee and tea along with creamer and sweeteners, eating utensils, a dorm fridge/freezer--basically everything a hotel would give you, only a little more and of nicer quality. 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. I'm already dreaming up reasons to come back in the winter as I'm certain it'll be even more cosy.

That is family owed and well cared for the staff at check in were friendly and offered great suggestions for area restaurants.

Don't let the price fool you, it was a pleasant stay and located in a beautiful area of manitou springs. We would definitely stay here again.

"There's a Small Hotel" - Frank Sinatra/Pal Joey (1957)…read more We used The Villa Motel as a stop overnight from Denver to Divide (destination: Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Sanctuary). I chose The Villa based on the reviews here, and the fair price. I didn't want to pay $300 a night just for a one-night stay in the other more fancier places around Manitou as we were just crashing for a night (approx $105 a night off-season). PARKING: plentiful free parking during mid-March. ROOMS: The Villa Motel completely honored my request when I booked online directly with them (cheaper direct also). I asked for a corner room on the 2nd floor so it wouldn't be so noisy, and it wasn't at all. No elevators, be aware of that. If you don't want to lug your stuff upstairs, ask for bottom floor room. The rooms very large, even larger than our room at the La Quinta Inn in Glenwood Springs. The bed was comfy and just right for firmness. Everything was clean except I found a hair in my bed and there was a rolled-up ball of black hair in the bathroom but I was not grossed out by that since everything else was clean. Sheets smelled fresh and clean. Bathroom had nice amenities like make up wipe remover, bar soap and lotion, which was a very nice touch. The water controls were opposite for the HOT and COLD water, making it very difficult to figure out which way to turn the handles and even when getting the temp right, it would shift from hot to cold to freezing. I had to get out of the water stream every few minutes as it would go from scalding hot to freezing cold, until you manipulated the handles again. The water also backed up in the tub when we showered. The microwave and the sitting area is a nice touch, and the fridge. I am glad they have a safe. The last two hotels we went to did not have one (La Quinta Glenwood Springs, Drury in Westminster) A/C and heater worked very well, and quiet too. SERVICE: very nice people for check-in and check-out. Be aware the office opens at 7 AM, so if you have to be somewhere before that, talk to the office ahead of time to arrange something. We had to be in the town of Divide for our Alpha Wolf tour by 0745 and that was about 32 minutes away, so there was little wiggle-room for getting lost, etc. OTHER PERKS: coffee and continental breakfast in the office with some fresh whole fruits, pastries. The entire town of Manitou Springs is less than a 10-minute walk from The Villa, just take a left out of the driveway and keep walking. Laundromat a few feet away although I did see some washing/drying machines at The Villa. We did not use the pool in snowy March (closed). Manitou Incline views directly across the motel. RETURN FACTOR: a 100% YES. We love The Villa Motel. I also loved Manitou Springs and want to return again in the future. Keep small businesses in business! We love family-owned places and want to see them succeed, so give this place a try!

This place made me decide to never rent from a personal rental company ever again…read more I believe this rental was once nice but it is in desperate need of some TLC. To start, it was dirty. The renter confirmed that they do the cleaning themselves and it's evident. Pillow cases had stains on them, fridge and freezer had crumbs and hair in them. There should be a professional cleaner going in and sanitizing after every guest. Several things were broken (and honestly, dangerous). The door locks are also not in good shape. There is no deadbolt on the front or back door. The front door lock was literally being held together by BAND AIDS! Yes BANDAIDS. Ironically enough they had a sign next to the front door warning about bears in the area LOL. The patio fairy lights were not working. There's a floodlight that is on a minute timer so we kept having to move around if we wanted any lighting in the front porch or in the backyard where the hot tub is. If you get into the hot tub after dark, good luck, bring your own lights unless you want complete darkness. We specifically rented this cabin for the hot tub but it did not work. We followed the instructions posted. The "heating" light was on. We waited 45 minutes and the temperature didn't move a single degree. When we raised these concerns to Sandy and Bob, they were sarcastic and rude. Even after seeing the pictures with the proof. They claimed that all of our issues were because the home was "historic". Historic does NOT mean dirty and broken and unsafe. Imagine going to a historic museum and seeing things held together with band aids?! So just know that if you book and have any issues, they will not give a care in the world!

All…read morethe Clark Gable photos adoring the walls were awesome and definitely gave that old hollywood vibe. The bathtub was easy to use, spacious, and super relaxing. We were very comfortable and felt like we had every amenity we needed although their ice delivery system is a bit tedious and not the best system for having access to ice since you can only get it delivered. Otherwise, the hotel is in a perfect location where many local shops, restaurants, and attractions are walking distance. Doesn't get the full five stars because I struggled to get a hold of the front desk to gain access to the hotel at one point and I also called the front desk from my suite several times with no response which was inconvenient. But otherwise, highly recommend a stay here overall!!

Because I booked through Hotels.com, I received a room upgrade along with nightly expense credits, which was a wonderful bonus. The room itself was outstanding, with a spacious living area featuring a cozy fireplace and a luxurious bathroom complete with a huge soaking tub -- perfect after a cold, snowy day. While I didn't catch the names of all the amazing staff, a few stood out. Ella was an exceptional host who checked in with me before, during, and after my stay, making sure I had everything I needed and that my Hotels.com benefits were fully applied. One evening, I enjoyed a fantastic dinner at one of the on-site restaurants, complete with stunning views of Garden of the Gods Park; Jodie was a warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly server who made the experience even better. At the spa, Erica provided a treatment that was both skilled and welcoming. From start to finish, this stay truly lived up to its name -- it felt like a real resort experience in every sense.

Great Views. Zero Soul…read more I genuinely wanted to love this place. It had everything on paper - the views, the parking, the promise. So here's my honest advice: Book one night in the big suite, don't interact with management or the events team, eat somewhere else, and leave. You'll actually enjoy yourself. Here's the reality: It's gorgeous on the outside. But in my experience, there's no soul or integrity behind the facade. The service culture feels stuck in a bygone era - and not in a charming way. The locker rooms are cramped, poorly maintained, and frankly, they smell. The food is forgettable. The spa feels pretentious and operates on what I can only describe as a 1987 business model. I was told I'd need to order a nail job just to access the steam room. Make it make sense. The concierge was genuinely lovely - but it felt like her hands were tied by management's outdated approach. She seemed to want to help more than the system would allow. The events department was, in my experience, a major disappointment. Communication felt disorganized and unresponsive. When I asked for a simple proposal, I was told they "couldn't possibly do that for every inquiry" - in 2025, when AI tools can generate a polished, customized proposal in minutes. I tested it myself using Canva and Claude with their own metrics. Took me four minutes. The resistance to modernizing felt deliberate. Outside of the top-tier suites - which are reasonably priced by Colorado standards ---this felt like a mediocre hotel calling itself a resort. It is not The Broadmoor. It is not a Four Seasons. Those places deliver hospitality with humanity. This felt more like a zombie party with a great view. My honest opinion? It feels like ownership is either disengaged, burnt out, or simply no longer pursuing excellence. That said - if you're a Colorado local, the 10% room discount is a nice touch. Choose your room wisely, skip on-site dining, and check out 503W nearby for great prices and actual atmosphere. For corporate events? I'd look elsewhere.
