Historical well seasoned hotel. Great staff. Comfortable bed. Great location to walk to anywhere in Manitou Springs. Excellent restaurant. Hotel was under renovation, which we were informed of prior to our stay. Unfortunately our room was right above the major remodeling project. Adding to our noise was our window air conditioning. Some rooms had central air, others did not.

Street parking in Manitou Springs is expensive and limited. Glad to have the hotel off street parking garage. Not happy that it was an additional charge of $20 and was only accessible via the valet.

Everything was great. Loved this hotel. Only issue I had was that I had a $20 food and drink credit that I used at the bar but it wasn’t credited. Bartender seemed to have been a little tipsy so maybe that as the issue

The Cliff House is a unique and more upscale property compared with the usual chain hotels in the area. We always stay at this hotel whenever we visit Colorado. Despite being in the tourist heart of Manitou Springs (Pikes Peak area), the hotel provides a quite and calm atmosphere. Although some of the rooms are small, they provide all conveniences needed for their patrons to be comfortable. We enjoy the cuisine in The Cliff House restaurant and like the bar area. On our most recent visit, The Cliff House was (and still is) undergoing renovations. The renovations did not impact our visit. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We had an amazing stay. The front desk staff was exceptional! The service at the bar and breakfast was ok, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience. I was initially upset that they were under construction and their front area wasn’t set up with chairs and fire pits like it showed online, but we still had an incredible time and would stay again!

It is not new or modern, but we didn't expect that and, in fact, were looking for antique charm, which this is! Centrally located in Manitou Springs historic distric, so walking around all the shops and restaurants was super easy. We used the valet, so parking wasn't even a consideration or issue--again, super easy and worth the money. Lovely stay for an overnight or quick weekend getaway!

We were excited to stay at this historic hotel because the photos on the website looked beautiful and full of charm. While we appreciated the hotel's history and character, we felt that many areas of the property could benefit from updates and better maintenance.

We were especially disappointed with our dining experience. The restaurant prices were on the higher side, so we expected a meal that matched the cost. We ordered the fish and the pork chop. The fish was good, but the pork chop was overcooked, dry, and very tough.

Our server was friendly and appeared to be new, but she seemed to have very little support from the rest of the staff. She did her best, but additional training and better teamwork would have made the dining experience much smoother.

Overall, we had hoped for a better experience. This hotel has great potential because of its rich history and unique atmosphere, but it would benefit from property updates and improvements in both food quality and service.

I find it difficult for me to be providing any ratings for the Clift House. My very first experience at the hotel did not go well. I paid $503 for a beautiful room, $20 for valet parking (the hotel does not have any self parking), and I make dinner reservations in advance to enjoy the hotel restaurant. They obviously know I’m going to be spending at least $800 at the hotel for my one night stay. Yet, when I showed up to check in at 2:06 PM, they told me it would cost me $30 because check check-in time was 3 PM. In other words, whomever owns this property has the absurd policy of charging its patrons $30 to put their bags in their room prior to 3 PM. You show up 54 minutes early and they want an extra $30 for you to take your bags to the room instead of handing them the bags for them store for you for 54 minutes. Whoever owns this restaurant needs to get half a brain, and better business sense. I cannot blame the staff. The staff was very apologetic, but told me they had no choice because that was the policy of the owner of the hotel. They did not have the authority to change their boss’s ridiculous policy. Other than that, the hotel was excellent. They just need new ownership, and hopefully it’s purchased by someone who has business sense, as well as a little common sense!

Well...it IS a very old, historic hotel which is what makes it fun and enjoyable. However, you can tell that they have not been able to invest any money into this gem in a long time. The room was super outdated and needed lots of TLC but it was clean and the bed was super comfy. The lights worked. The gas fireplace worked. The A/C worked. The main thoroughfares look pretty nice and well maintained but once you get off the beaten path the place is in shambles. Super nice staff!! Too bad they don't make enough to keep it up to standard! Price is high for what you get.

Normally a wonderful stay and would have been again but they failed to tell us they had major construction going on. The whole reason we booked a night there was to get away from the construction noise at our place. So yeah it was a major let down. I will say that the lovely staff did accommodate my room request and breakfast in bed was delightful.

Beautiful historical place to stay and so convenient to walk and do everything. Our only issue (and really it wasn’t an issue,was just an inconvenience) was that they are working on the front entrance so my husband had to drop me off so I could go in and ask where to park.

Beautiful room. We had and upgrade with one of the suites. The staff were all incredibly helpful. The restaurant food was very good and the servers were great. Parking is a challenge in the area, but the valet service was awesome. We picked this place as we were able to walk, about 20 min, to the Cog Railway, which is a plus given parking is a challenge there as well.

Parking is Valet only, with the staff being very careful and efficient with our vehicle.

The Cliff House was very charming and the staff was wonderful. Unfortunately, one of the elevators was out of order. The options were the stairs or a walk to the other end of the bldg for the working elevator. The stone work for the front drive was being replaced along with other repairs made for a very noisy visit. I’m sure that once all the repairs are complete, it will be back to normal.

The room was comfortable and quiet and they accommodated our request for no fragrance in the room. The tv didnt fit the armoire and was at a weird angle for viewing and the charging block actually drained batteries rather than charging. There was also an unfortunate artificial vanilla smell in the lobby. Overall, it was a decent hotel. The biggest win being quiet and close to walk everywhere. For the price, Id like to see nicer amenities like the tv and charging block.

The property is currently under construction and under new management. The staff was friendly however the rooms are extremely old with wonky showers and tubs. When I checked in the room was not the cleanest with the previous occupant's hair left behind as well as crumbs and dust. The water temp was either scalding or lukewarm and I was never able to adjust it. Maintenance was very prompt and did manage to fix the water pressure somewhat as it was barely trickling the first day. The location of the hotel was excellent and within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
This is a historic hotel with much potential but for the rate I paid it was not up to my standards.

This beautiful old hotel is hopefully getting the makeover it needs. We were upgraded to a suite, but the bathroom was falling apart and the shower wouldn't adjust--all hot water.

It was a beautiful location but it was under construction and the valet was a mess. We couldn’t figure out where to park. After the hassle of getting our car checked into valet, when we went to leave for our dinner reservation and were again left waiting for valet to figure out their process. They ended up switching our key with someone else’s and instead of coming to tell us they were about to park another car until we approached them. We ended up missing our dinner reservation luckily the restaurant made it work for us but it was so inconvenient for a service that we paid extra for.

We loved the location of this site. It is so close to so many parts of manitiou Springs. We also really loved the staff. There was construction going on while we were there, but the staff worked really hard to help us work around that. The only complaint I would’ve had is that the HVAC system seem to turn on quite a bit during the night, and I was unable to turn it off. Otherwise, I would stay here again.

According to the desk clerk, because we booked through Expedia, they didn't have the king bed suite we reserved, so we were given a queen bed room overlooking the construction going on on the lawn and front of the house. We we're given breakfast buffet vouchers for our trouble, but there was no buffet available either morning. There was a mini fridge in the bathroom holding up the left side of the vanity. The only bright spot we're the valet. Definitely not 4 stars. Very disappointing especially for the price.

The hotel is a great location, with in walking distance of downtown manitou. The staff is friendly and helpful. We loved the historic feel of the hotel. The hotel is currently under construction until 2027 so be aware of that. It’s not super disruptive but something to be aware of. Would love to come back and stay again!

The hotel is a cool historic spot in a great walkable part of town. The downside is that it’s currently going under major renovation and that fact was not disclosed on their website or the third parties website. We would have booked it if we’d known that fact. The renovation will be a welcome upgrade as it’s in need of some TLC and replacements for things like carpet and paint etc. I’m sure it will be awesome when finished however this should be noted prior to booking so guests have a choice. Instead I received an email 45 minutes after booking that renovation was occuri g and the reservation was non refundable. The staff was the bright spot.

I was disappointed with my stay at the Cliff House. There was construction happening all around the front of the hotel and throughout the inside as well, and I was never made aware of it when booking. When paying a higher rate for a stay, guests should at least have the option to know about major construction beforehand. It really affected the overall experience. On top of that, the staff was not the friendliest or most welcoming. Overall, not the experience I expected.

This hotel is under construction. Our rooms windows were covered outside (no view whatsoever) as they were actively jack hammering out front of the hotel by 8am. Down the hall a crew was active daily, so if you want to book a stay, be ready for some construction activity all around you. It's a beautiful old hotel in need of renovation, but unless you enjoy being in the middle, I'd book elsewhere in Manitou Springs until they finish the job.

Great heritage hotel in a beautiful location.
The staff was great, the room was clean.

The exterior of the hotel looked like it had seen some better days, but that's kind of the charm.

You definitely feel like you've been transported to the west. The last restoration of the property seems a little tired I have a feeling this place will get a very hip overhaul in the future.

About all I liked about the room was the heated toilet seat.
The view was of the dirt cut out of the hill behind the hotel when they built it. A cliff about 10' from the windows.
The furnishings were bad. On one of the chairs the arms would pull off when you moved it.
The service at the restaurant was terrible. The sausage was cold but the plate was warm not hot, I had to get up twice to get more coffee. Wouldn't eat there again.

The Cliff House hotel is a unique treasure, with individually appointed suites that reflect the elegance of \"yesteryear\". The staff is amazing, very friendly and accommodating, always with a ready smile, focused on the customers' needs! Absolutely love the special touches in our E. E. Nichols suite: the toilet seat warmer, the blue light in the toilet, the towel warmer, the steam shower, the Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom, the marble floors, the turn-down service with chocolates and an informative newsletter, highlighting a different famous historical figure each evening, the cloths laid on the floor on each side of the bed (an old tradition), and the fireplace is another nice touch! Oh, did I mention the robes that are provided?!
The restaurant makes beautiful & delicious food, the room service is very nice, love the \"bags\" of ice either delivered or available at the front desk for our ice buckets, as well as complimentary bottles of water. Especially love the French onion soup - magnifique!
We frequented the bar one evening and Kelly (Kelli/Kellie/Kelley?) was super fun to have as a server. The sangria drink was very tasty and my husband enjoyed his beer!
Utilized the fitness center, and really appreciated the variety of machines & equipment available.
The view from our suite is amazing, with a large bay window around 10' to 12' wide allowing us to view the mountains, with a peak at Pikes Peak on occasion.
Overall, we would HIGHLY recommend this establishment!!!

I’ve loved The Cliff House at Pikes Peak for many years. My grandmother helped save it from demolition in the 1990s, so it holds deep personal and family significance. The staff remains professional and welcoming, but the hotel’s upkeep no longer reflects its four-star rates. The décor screams “late‑90s luxury,” yet the everyday furnishings show visible wear and tear, starting to look shabby, not chic.

This last trip was for my grandmother’s funeral, and we couldn’t even hold our traditional family brunch at the hotel. The buffet is gone, and with à la carte pricing over $20 per entrée, it became cost-prohibitive. It was painful to see a place that has been central to our family and the community in such decline.

The Cliff House is more than a hotel — it’s part of Manitou Springs’ heritage. Given its history and role in the community, it deserves reinvestment so it can continue to welcome families and honor its legacy for generations.
