Axel's take on Manitou Springs: #3 of 7 in Colorado Springs, 6.1/10

Stay in Manitou for mountain-town evenings and easy access to outdoor adventures. Manitou Springs pairs distinctive mountain-town character with useful attraction connections, but doorstep convenience varies sharply by address and value trails Old Colorado City.

Manitou is the choice when the trip should feel like a mountain getaway rather than a city break. Manitou Avenue has colorful independent shops, mineral springs, cafés and bars, with Fountain Creek and small parks breaking up the storefronts. The Cog Railway and Incline are reached by the local shuttle, not by assuming everything is a flat walk away.

Location matters: prioritize the historic shopping streets if walking to dinner is the point. Hills, busy visitor periods and parking logistics are the trade-offs, and locals describe tourist-season traffic as a nuisance. Skip it for downtown business or a broad late-night scene.

  • Best for: couples, travelers without a car, first-time visitors, families
  • Skip it if: Hills and parking logistics would frustrate you; Your plans revolve around downtown offices
  • Getting around: Walk historic Manitou Avenue; free Routes 3 and 33 link Downtown, Old Colorado City, the Cog and Incline; from COS take a taxi/car, and from DEN drive or use a shuttle plus a local transfer.
  • After dark: Wine bars, breweries and occasional live music support a relaxed evening, rather than downtown-style club hopping.
  • Rates: Typical Axel rate $138 a night

How to choose

What paying more buys

Compared with cheaper Days Inn, Cliff House buys a central walking location and Victorian character, though renovations compromise the experience. Pricier INNhale adds an adults-only, cannabis-friendly atmosphere and included brunch. Neither premium makes much sense for families or travelers who mainly need a bed before hiking. Typical rates with Axel here run from $91 a night at Quality Inn & Suites Manitou Springs at Pikes Peak to $274 at INNhale Resort and Spa (last 30 days).
