From the odd numbered booths you can see the river and the sloping walls of the gorge. The even side had the gorge wall most of the way. Food is very good with fresh ingredients and nice flavors. If you purchase online with the ticket you get a free beverage. We had wine which was very nice. The mocktail pina colada was fantastic! We sat in the domed cars which gave a much better view of the scenery. There is an open air car that is available if you want to stand and experience the wind in your hair. We spent a total of approximately two and a half hours. We would definitely ride it again. Tip: there is a huge gift shop you walk through before boarding the train. This is after the gift shop where you pick up the tickets.

    Amazing Experience! Staff was courteous, professional and so welcoming. Enjoyed hearing them…read moreexplain the history about the locations on our train route! An absolute must-do when you are visiting Colorado. Breathtaking scenery and our server, Dylan was so attentive and respectful! Loved hearing his knowledge on the area. Our boys had a lot of fun! The view from the open-top rail cars was amazing and priceless! We had some Once in a lifetime views. We loved seeing the highest suspension bridge in North America and the whitewater rafters floating along the Arkansas River.

    There are two distinct ways to reach the top of Pikes Peak, which sits 14,115 feet above sea level…read moreaccording to the monument we dutifully took a group photo in front of. You can drive yourself up a winding ribbon of mountain asphalt while wondering if the human coming around the hairpin turn possesses basic driving skills. Or you can board a train and let a red Swiss-built mechanical crawler drag you up the side of a giant rock. We chose the later. We boarded the Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway at the base depot in Manitou Springs as part of an organized tour group. This spared us from the depot parking lot, which appeared to be a complicated test of human patience that you pay a premium to experience. The boarding process is orderly because seats are seemingly assigned by a computer algorithm. I say this, because no human would assign seats in such a manner unless they deeply enjoyed practical jokes. Our half of the train car was packed tightly while leaving the far end three-quarters empty. Spreading the riders out more evenly would seem like an obvious improvement. The seats themselves are molded high-density plastic that any rider of underfunded public transit will instantly recognize, arranged in rows facing one another. This configuration forces passengers to stare directly into each other's eyes while their legs interlock like puzzle pieces. At six-foot-three, I was deeply grateful for an aisle seat. Two of my companions, both under five-foot-six, sat across from one another and found themselves in an arrangement that surrendered all known concepts of personal space. The climb takes about one hour and fifteen minutes along nine miles of track. Our guide provided historical facts, geological context, and a steady stream of terrible dad jokes. They informed us we were on the right track, which was technically accurate. Outside the windows, the aspen trees gave way to evergreen timberline, which eventually dissolved into barren rock, sky, and absolute silence. At the summit, the atmosphere becomes thin and cold. We had just come from a week of intense heat, yet tiny snowflakes were drifting through the air in July. My lungs, accustomed to normal atmospheric pressure, spent the first ten minutes attempting to negotiate a trade agreement with the mountain air. Eventually, my nervous system adjusted. The summit visitor center feels modern, warm, and smells delightfully of their famous high-altitude freshly fried donuts. On the journey back down, the universe provided a magnificent surprise. A rainbow appeared in the canyon directly at eye-level. Every human in our car stopped talking at the exact same moment and simply stared through the glass. No digital camera could properly capture it. Some moments refuse to be translated into pixels. I would choose the Cog Railway over driving up the peak without hesitation. You must simply pack warm layers, prepare for the altitude, and accept that your knees will spend two hours making close friends with a stranger. The mountain is magnificent. The seating configuration is not.

    My second time here. Love it…read more Great time riding the rails. Your guide was excellent and gave a lot of info. The railway station was clean and well organized. Pro tips: bring a sweatshirt, sun glasses, and give yourself at least twenty minutes to park. They leave on time and don't care that you're running to catch the train. Our train left someone behind.

The bed is comfortable, the AC was cold, and the shower nice and hot with good water pressure. The front desk service was friendly. The price was reasonable, and it was quiet. It's not the Ritz, but it ticks all the boxes for a mid-priced hotel.

    What an absolute fucking joke of a hotel…read more I have stayed in some shitty places before, but this place takes the crown. We found approximately 15 fucking roaches in our room, including one that crawled onto my girlfriend. Not one roach. Not a random bug. A full-blown fucking infestation. Then came the customer service, which was somehow even worse than the roaches. At around 2:00 a.m., the front desk employee appeared to be half asleep behind the desk. When I reported the infestation and asked to speak with a manager, I was refused. No apology. No urgency. No attempt to make the situation right. Just attitude and a clear message that they didn't give a shit. After getting nowhere with the hotel, I called corporate thinking surely someone would take a room full of roaches seriously. Nope. Their response was basically, "We'll get back to you in about a week." A week? You rented me a room with roaches crawling all over it and your solution is to put me in a queue? The roaches were disgusting, but the complete lack of accountability was what really pissed me off. This hotel took my money, put me in a room that should never have been rented to anyone, then acted like I was the problem for complaining. If you're considering staying here, save yourself the headache, the disgust, and the possibility of bringing roaches home with you. Spend your money literally anywhere else. Absolutely fucking unacceptable. Update my friend has bites and the hotel said this The property has advised us that, according to their records, they did not find any cockroaches in the room during your stay. They have also informed us that, following the circumstances surrounding your stay, your name has been placed on the hotel's Do Not Rent List, meaning that they will no longer be able to accommodate you at the property. Unfortunately, the hotel has also confirmed that they are not willing to approve a refund or compensation for this reservation. We understand that this is not the outcome you were hoping for, especially considering the issues you reported during your stay. As the hotel is the party holding the payment and their approval is required for us to process a refund related to these circumstances, we are unfortunately unable to issue a refund without their authorization. So because I called them out on their bulshit they will no longer let me get rooms at their hotel I currently have a case with code enforcement and OSHA and the health inspector
