The Fountain Creek Inn | The Queen Suite | #204 | Hotel in Manitou Springs
Hotel in Manitou Springs Historic District, Manitou Springs
Summary:
Climb the Incline in the morning; by evening you'll be glad you booked the Suite. A real living room to collapse into, a kitchenette for slow breakfasts in the corner nook, and a queen bedroom behind its own wall so someone can sleep in while the coffee brews. Kids take the futon; trail maps take the table. Downtown Manitou is a short walk for dinner, the creek runs past your quiet corner, and the inn's highest-rated room does the rest.
The Space:
The Suite is the one room at the inn built for spreading out, and it holds the highest rating on the property.
You get a real layout, not just a room: a queen bedroom behind its own wall, a separate living room with a full-size futon (a true futon that folds flat, not a pull-out sofa), and a kitchenette with a sink, microwave, mini fridge with freezer, dishes and silverware, and a Keurig. The corner breakfast nook gets named in reviews; it's where trail maps get argued over and second coffees happen. A 43-inch TV with Chromecast and Roku, extra pillows and blankets, room-darkening shades, and fast WiFi round it out. Sleeps 4.
The Suite sits upstairs at the inn, reached by exterior stairs, tucked toward the quiet corner of the property near the creek. The room is turned over by a professional cleaning crew and all linens are commercially laundered between stays.
Hikers love this one: kitchenette breakfast before the Incline, downtown dinner on the walk home, and space to actually unpack. Families fit comfortably with kids on the futon. If two people want room to breathe, this is the upgrade that's worth it.
Guest Access:
Here's how the inn works, and it's our favorite part: there is no front desk. Your door code arrives before check-in, and whether you pull in at 4 PM or 1 AM, it works exactly the same. No office hours, no key pickup, no waiting behind anyone. When you do need something, a real person answers messages fast; quick, helpful communication is the thing our hosting record is built on.
A few specifics so arrival is effortless:
Parking is free and on site. Park below, then take the exterior stairs up to your room; there's no elevator.
Your room has its own electronic deadbolt with a keypad. The code is unique to your stay and arrives with your check-in details.
One note so you head to the right door: the Garden House at
the front of the property is a separate private vacation rental, not a check-in office. There's no office anywhere at the inn. Your door code is your check-in, so go straight to your room number.
The side yard and the creekside grounds are open to all inn guests.
There's no guest laundry at the inn, but a laundromat is nearby in town. Dumpsters for trash are in the parking lot.
The Neighborhood:
Manitou Springs is a small mountain town that still feels like one: a walkable main street of cafes, galleries, breweries, and patios, with free mineral springs scattered through downtown for anyone carrying a cup. The inn sits at the quiet end of Manitou Avenue, far enough from the center that nights stay calm, close enough that dinner is a few minutes' walk along the creek. Evenings here are simple: stroll in for green chile and a local beer, taste a spring or two on the way back, and let the town empty out behind you.
Days reach far without much driving. The Manitou Incline and Barr Trail, the two big climbs toward Pikes Peak, start about 5 minutes away by car, and the Cog Railway leaves from the same side of town for the summit. Garden of the Gods is about 6 minutes, Cave of the Winds about 5, and the historic Cliff Dwellings about 4. Morning on a mountain, evening on the avenue, and the car barely has to work for any of it.
Getting Around:
Getting here is easy and getting around is easier. Parking is free at the property, and from your door, downtown Manitou is about a 5-minute walk along the avenue.
For the big days: the Manitou Incline, Barr Trail, and the Cog Railway are about 5 minutes away by car, the historic Cliff Dwellings about 4, Cave of the Winds about 5, and Garden of the Gods about 6.
Two local tips worth knowing. The Incline requires a free timed reservation, and slots open weeks in advance, so book your climb before your trip. And Manitou runs a free shuttle (Route 33) along Manitou Avenue daily, year-round, linking downtown with the Incline, Barr Trail, and the Cog Railway; parking near the trailheads is limited and paid, so the shuttle is the move on busy mornings.
Other Things to Note:
A few things worth knowing before you book.
Sleeping for guests three and four is a full-size futon in the living room: a real futon that folds flat, comfortable for kids and easygoing adults. If everyone in your group wants a bedroom door, the Garden House is the better fit.
The Suite is reached by exterior stairs; there's no elevator.
This is an older building near the heart of a lively little town, so you'll catch some town and creek sounds, especially in summer.
We're a self-serve inn, so there's no breakfast service; your
kitchenette has a Keurig, and downtown's cafes are a few minutes' walk.
No pets in the Suite; our pet-friendly rooms are #103 and #105.
