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.

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!!

Booked and guaranteed through third party, a party that importantly will CHARGE me on behalf of the hotel for not showing up. Tried checking in and they said they needed a *physical* card. Mind you, I booked, was paying, and was responsible for cancellation fees to a third party. Would not take Apple Pay. OK, I get it, even though I've been staying at remote places in the state in this manner with no issue. How about my bank card loaded on my phone? Nope. Cash? Nope. No contactless at all. Doesn't matter they have ALL my personal info - DL, address, etc. - and credit card on file. None of this is explained on the booking app's site. I didn't see anything at the hotel on this, or their website. Had to practically BEG them to cancel the reservation in such a way as I would not be charged for cancelling. Those of you following along may appreciate how absurd it is that I could possibly be charged for involuntarily cancelling a stay that I could not check in for despite physically being at the front desk ready to check in with multiple payment methods for something that had payment already arranged. Such is the negative, pathetic, and Kafka-esque user experience one can expect here. (Book today!!) So, I'm far from home, alone with my two children, with nowhere to stay despite having booked - and secured with a credit card! - a room. No help offered. No referrals. Nothing the least bit "hospitable" or sympathetic or even human. Had to plead NOT TO BE CHARGED! I booked the Pikes Peak Inn immediately thereafter. Cheaper. Much closer to the actual downtown, and despite *not even having a front desk* much more helpful and hospitable.

Technically, this should be called a motel (as in "motor/hotel = motel"), not a hotel, because rooms are accessed from an exterior door and you park your car right outside the room. Nonetheless, the room was clean, space and amenities adequate, and parking ample. The person checking us in allowed us to check in early, which we appreciated, given that it allowed us to rest a bit before more activities. The free Continental breakfast was standard fare, but okay for being on vacation. Traffic noise from the adjacent busy street did not bother us inside the room.

You can book a room at Glen Eyrie without even realizing that it is the headquarters of the Navigators. Their mission is "To know Christ and make Him known, and help others do the same." During the checkin process, the lady with the Tammy Baker mascara told us "no drugs or alcohol are permitted on the property." I wasn't sure if I should be offended because I'm not sure if they tell everyone that. Another employee, a gray-haired older gentleman, sat there with his arms crossed and glared at us without blinking until we headed to our room. Past the castle foyer and down the halls where the guest rooms are located, the ambience is more like a youth hostel in a retirement home. The room was stuffy and stale smelling, there was no AC, and I couldn't figure out how to open the window. It inspired me to save the romance for later and stay outside, enjoying the grounds and until dark. Fortunately, I came prepared with six different prohibited substances, and made sure we picked up a bottle of wine when we came back from dinner. The mascara lady made sure tell us there is no tv in the room. I wish I would have told her that we can enjoy ourselves plenty without one. Breakfast is served in the King James dining hall from 7:30 am to 9:30 am. I was prepared for it to be really weird, anticipating that someone was going to help us to know Jesus, invite us to church, or ask us where we attend. I carefully curated our responses, and couldn't wait for someone to ask but no one did. Instead, we sat there and tried to guess which guests had successfully prayed the gay away and which guests had booked on booking.com and also had no idea who the Navigators are. I was so disappointed I wasn't able to use any of my invented narrative or whip out my phone to show them my ancestry.com app and impress them with the fact that King James of the KJV bible and the namesake of their splendid dining hall is actually my 15th great grandfather. Sigh, no one cared. I was sick to my stomach for the rest of the day from that breakfast buffet, particularly the mysterious José Olé freezer burrito with sprinkled with micro greens Because it was kind of creepy that we had to sign all of those safety release papers, I felt unsafe until we were off the property, and past the Colorado Springs Focus on the Family freeway exit sign. There was something magical about the weekend, not sure if it was the hospitality ministry or the contraband. When I stopped having diarrhea later at home, my Apple Watch said my blood oxygen levels were 100% and my resting heart rate was 53. I will never return to Glen Eyrie, but feel blessed to have had this experience to share with others.

There's a nice Mountain View. There are beverages available for purchase at the front desk. Overall, I thought it was an ok experience and the warm soak was good for my aching muscles.
