What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 457 guest reviews
The Cliff House at Pikes Peak earns strong sentiment overall, with guests consistently praising its warm, attentive staff, distinctive historic character, and prime Manitou Springs location. The most significant and recurring concern is the ongoing renovation work (expected through April 2027), which brings construction noise, a disrupted entrance, and parking complications — and guests frequently note they weren't warned in advance. Those who look past the building works tend to leave very satisfied, particularly highlighting the restaurant and themed rooms.
