Had a great time in...

Liked: Great atmosphere, clean friendly staff
Disliked: Breakfast buffet was just ok

Superb

Cliff House is beautiful, however,...

Liked: We liked the old charm of the hotel. It has such an interesting history. It is old but very well kept. We will definitely try to stay there again.
Disliked: Unfortunately we did not have a great experience at the bar and grill. There was a mistake with our order but the waitress kindly took it off. We have been visiting Manitou for many years. This time was a first to see some business's gone/closed up. We had an encounter with a vagrant on our way to dinner that was not pleasant. He was overly persistent and would not leave us alone after we asked him to kindly leave us alone. We love Manitou, but I think they are having some issues.

Excellent time, being right in...

Liked: Beautiful building and decor. Cozy winter stay
Disliked: Parking was confusing

Exceptional

Liked: My husband and I stayed here for our 2nd Anniversary. We were immediately greeted by Matt, who was very friendly, welcoming, and had such a pleasant attitude. The front desk ladies were also friendly One (forgot her name. Very pretty, young, brunette) helped us with finding the Shuttle 33. YOU GUYS ARE GOLDEN! We were upgraded to the Roosevelt Suite which was, hands down, the best! Bed was comfortable. The bathroom was a dream with a huge tub, heated toilet seats and towel rack, etc. The fireplace and sitting area was much needed for us to relax and unwind as we did several mountain tours in Manitou. The room also offered a nice size fridge. No microwave, but that was fine as there are several eateries in the area. (We stored water and soda in the fridge. It's needed for altitude). Room was always cleaned thoroughly and smelled very good each day. Valid drivers are exceptional too! I loved that we didn't have to wait long for our vehicle each time. They were prompt and friendly, even letting us know of places to visit within the area. The breakfast is very good as well. Make sure to try the biscuit and gravy and the lemon tarts. Sooo good! $15 is not bad for breakfast here! Valid is also $15 per day which is not bad at all! If you're in the Manitou area, this is a must stay. It's in the midst of all attractions, restaurants, and friendly people! Oh, and the spring fountains too! We're from Louisiana and this little town made us really considering moving here. It felt peaceful and Heavenly.
Disliked: Everything was awesome. No complaints here.

Glad we stayed at this...

Liked: History and pictures of the hotels different times. Room was nice with a gas fireplace. Furniture was suited to the room (historic looking) Bed was very firm which I thought would be an issue, but it was actually comfortable. Great location for exploring Manitou Springs.
Disliked: Jets in tub didn’t work. Had a view of the air units on the roof, tub facet handle was loose and hard to control. Over scented smell of cloves and something in the main lobby.

Passable

Loved it.

Liked: Classic old style but very comfortable. Very good restaurant.
Disliked: Our only criticism was the very ordinary pre-mix scrambled eggs and no fried or poached eggs at breakfast. This was out of keeping with the otherwise good standards.
