Park Row Lodge

We stayed in a two bedroom cabin. The cabin is away from the hotel a bit, which was nice and very quiet. We needed cheap accommodations for a long weekend trip and Park Row was great. It is out-dated; however, beds were clean and it served the purpose of a bed to rest our head. Now, the beds are not the best, but after hiking all day I still slept great. I wish there was a mirror in the master bedroom or in the kitchen area. I ended up using the counter in the kitchen for my make-up and hair products because there is nothing in the bedroom. The second bedroom has two double beds, a mirror and a dresser that provides quite a bit of space for personal things. Things to be aware of before you arrive: apparently you need to check-in before 10, but the owners live on site so after calling multiple times they did come to the door. Owners are super nice!! The floors in the cabin: tile mix-matched, spot in-between kitchen and living room is soft like the boards under tile need replaced, towels may be stained, but they are clean, chairs are ragged. It is about 2.5 miles from the down-town area and a few restaurants walking distance. Manitou is a pretty area. Overall this is a great find; it served its purpose for our four night stay in Manitou.

My girlfriend and I stayed here in September, 2020. When I made my reservation, my mom told me that it sounded like the same motel she and Dad had stayed at in 1958 during a trip there. After I showed her pictures of the motel, she confirmed that it was. "It wasn't very fancy, was it?" she asked. No, Mom, it's not. When you stay on the bottom floor (in the back of the motel, facing the stream - which is the best part of the whole property), you'll hear EVERY. SINGLE. FOOTSTEP. that your neighbors above you take. The ceiling - their floor - is thin. Very thin. Mighty thin. But not as thin as the walls. Oh, no. The walls are thin, and when your neighbor decides to play his radio at 3:00am, you will hear EVERY. SINGLE. DRUMBEAT. AND. EVERY. SINGLE. BASS LINE. So, if you decide to recover from your sleep deprived night with a wonderful hot shower, guess what - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA there's NO hot water, and VERY LITTLE water pressure! And, if you're female, and you decide to go up to the parking lot to make a call because the reception in your room is not great, and the owner of the motel yells at you asking you who you are and which room you're staying in - THAT is a real knee slapper, I tell ya!! We stayed two nights. We had pre-paid for our room. When we decided to stay a third night in the Springs area, we stayed in a hotel north of town. It's tempting to catch their specials on websites such as this because their prices are below average. But, your experience will also be below average. Take your chances, if you dare.
