Mel Haven Motel

This was such a clean and cozy place to stay. Upon our arrival, I signed in with Ted. He was very kind and showed us to our room to make sure everything was in order. I highly recommend staying here, if you're looking for a good value. The property was right by Manitou Springs, and close to Garden of the Gods. Don't judge the book by it's cover...the outside could use a bit of an update, but the rooms, although outdated, were super clean and comfy. We were more than satisfied to have clean, comfortable beds. Thank you, Ted!

Great location! Manager was very nice, good price. Great view of Garden of the Gods. Room decor and property was a little dated, but beds where comfortable. No issues!

Park right in front of the door, across the street from the garden of the gods and 1.5 miles from downtown manatou.

Can't really think of anything to bitch about?

Clean and attentive

Nestled conveniently in Colorado Springs, Mel-Haven Lodge is a breath of fresh air – literally! From the moment you step into your room, the clean, fresh scent makes you feel right at home. It's the kind of clean you can smell, not just see. Location, Location, Location! You can't beat the proximity to Garden of the Gods, making morning strolls among the stunning red rocks incredibly easy. And if you're up for a slightly longer adventure, the Royal Gorge Bridge is a picturesque 1.5-hour drive away. Comfort and Convenience Our two queen beds were comfy, ensuring a great night's sleep after a day of exploring. Plus, the Wi-Fi is strong, perfect for planning your next day's adventures (or just scrolling through photos of all the beauty you just saw). We felt perfectly safe throughout our stay, and the front desk service was excellent – just a quick ring of the bell, and someone was there to help without any fuss. Mel-Haven Lodge truly delivers on comfort, cleanliness, and convenience. 5/5, highly recommended!

A great retro motel! Quiet motel and friendly staff. Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. A diamond in the rough. The outside is very clean, but not fancy. Accommodating staff and offered help with bags. Checked on the room offering to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved the family suites. Plenty of room for our families.

The place is older but updated inside and clean which is surprising! The caretaker/ owner is very nice. Great location!...

Could use a brighter lighting inside as option.

We liked that the owner takes you to your room to see it before he gives you the key to the room. It was an older place , but very clean inside. It had a comfortable king bed, a sofa, a couple chairs, a desk area, tv & a fridge & microwave. I would stay here again. Didn't think to take pics of the room until we were packing up to leave.

A few rooms downstairs looked like they weren't rented, but maybe used for just storage because things were sitting outside too. Maybe a few rooms were used for permanent residents, but maybe not.
