No real criticism toward the lodge. Spots of the area it’s in are a bit sketchy feeling, but that’s not on the lodge, it’s just the neighborhood.

Clean, simple, no fuss room. Pretty quiet property. I had a mountain view from the bench in front of my room. Very nice owners, and you’re right between Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City, and close to Colorado Springs, so the location is quite nice. It’s not brand new, so it isn’t immaculate, but it’s well tended to, and it gives it a touch of careworn charm. Super reasonably priced. It really gives you the experience of an old school motel, rather than the sterile, bland experience of a new chain hotel.

Would like to have had a larger TV. Hard to hear without turning up loud because the AC was loud.

Easy parking good location. Clean. Cold AV

The space was old-school but spacious and clean. Ted, the proprietor, was very kind and helpful. The location is good, sitting just off Hwy 24, between Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. No pool or restaurant, but wifi worked great for the 3 of us using it, and the water heat and pressure was just fine. If you're not fussy about updated styles, this is a great place to stay.

My main focus was a clean room in a safe area. Mel Haven Motel exceeded my expectations on all accounts. The rooms were impeccably clean, very quiet and in a safe area. The bathroom was updated, the larger size dorm fridge was a huge plus and the fact that we had two rooms was amazing (one bedroom with queen bed and the main area with queen bed, small table with chairs, fridge and microwave). There were also bbq grills outside to use if we wanted. The closeness to all my planned activities in Manitou Springs were a bonus. The owner was very attentive and often asked if there was anything we needed done.

The areas behind the units were used for storage. Kids wanted to go out and play frisbee, but there are no nice grassy areas. However, this is the only small reason why this place isn't perfect for a family!

Very clean, comfortable, no frills facility. Would recommend, especially for those traveling with kids!

Nothing!

They went over the top with the amenities! They had--- toaster, microwave, coffee pot, silverware, real plates, cups, saucers! Stove top! Sink with running water in kitchen! Large bathroom with tub and shower included makeup remover pads, shampoo, soaps, blowdryer, plenty of towels, washcloths, etc.

The beds were a little less firm than we would prefer, but that's a small complaint in comparison to the great value of this property.

The hotel was in a great location, it was very clean and well kept given the age of the property. The staff was very nice and helpful, and it was great to wake up each day and get to look out and see Garden of the Gods in the distance.

Older/original Rt 66 mom and pop motel. Yes older but you will not find anywhere cleaner Was very happy

When you drive up, the outside is no reflection on what is inside the room. It looks a little run down on the outside. There were no paper towels or ice, so bring your own.

The room was very clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable with high quality linens. The kitchenette was fully stocked with everything you need to cook a light meal. The bathroom was large and had a jetted tub. The location cannot be beat for access to all of the major Colorado Springs attractions. Felt very safe and was a relatively quiet location.

Mountain View and location to Manatu springs.

Did not have breakfast but that was a minor problem

Super clean and spacious and the location was very close to all the attractions we went to.

It was better than I expected for the price, so I have no complaints.

They don't serve breakfast however there is a coffee maker, refrigerator, and coffee supplies. The location is at the entry to Manitou Springs. From the balcony we could see the mountains and Garden Of The Gods. This older hotel has updated rooms, comfortable beds and quality linens! Staff is helpful and friendly.

I really can't think of anything. This motel met our expectations, was super clean, and in a great location. We'd stay here again.

Great location. It's not a new motel, but none of the motels on the street were. It's an older part of town maybe but the owner was super friendly and attentive, the room was spotlessly clean, great parking, good location, comfy bed, loved the shower, bench next to bed, couch, desk, nice size closet with plenty of hangers, not full sized but a good sized fridge, outdoor couch and chair to sit on outside the room, plus 2 cats that we would see on occasion when leaving.

Me and my wife absolutely loved staying here. It’s a family owned place and we got to meet the owners and their son. They have 4 cats and they let them roam around pretty much every day and we got to pet them! The family is super nice and they told us a bit about Colorado. Highly recommend staying here.

The beds were far too soft for us, probably from overuse. Extra portable bed (about $10 a night) also cheap and uncomfortable. Everything is old: the furniture, decor, carpet, lighting, everything. You won't want to spend time inside this room if you care about the vibe of a place. Carpet felt like your typical budget motel carpet, vacuumed properly but clearly not steam-cleaned often. Towels were small. Wifi was slow if you're downloading/uploading large files or trying to stream HD.

Management was very welcoming and helped us move our bags. Bathroom and beds were clean. There's a small fridge, coffee maker with tea/coffee supplies, good A/C system, small TV with remote. Outside the room there's a convertible table/bench with room for two or three people to sit or eat.

Clean room with updated bathroom and shower. Even though located on the main strip it was relatively quiet. The young man who checked us in helped get our bags to our 2nd-floor room. Would stay again ...

No ice machine on property but the little freezer would freeze two trays while we were out.

It’s an older motel, they are trying very hard to keep it up to date!

Squeaky beds! Everything else was great!

Quite small motel. Older but very clean and breathtaking views. Right near all tourist attractions.
