The Stanley Hotel

The construction is a mess throughout the facility. The interior lobby, once you find it since you have to go in the basement entrance, is chaotic and then our room was absolutely terrible. Torn carpet, a portable room air conditioner that was loud and in the way, unprofessional service from overworked staff and all this for over $500 a night. Stay anyplace else. Maybe with all the construction, someday the Stanley will be back to a first rate hotel, but it’s not that now!

If u like a hotel in the middle of a 360 construction site, this place is for you You have to enter thru the basement, the rooms donot have air conditioning,

The Stanley Hotel was a beautiful and fun experience, from the original beautiful rooms and hallways to the closeness of the Rocky Mountain National Park. As you get to walk around the hotel you get to witness the history of the Stanley Hotel as well as the cool connection to Stephen King's inspiration for The Shining. On top of that, our ghost tour of the Stanley Hotel was an amazing experience especially thanks to our fun and educational tour guide, Jim. I HIGHLY suggest if you are staying the night at the Stanely, experience the ghost tour with Jim and you will not regret it!

So disappointing. We expected a beautiful old hotel with elegance. We got a cheap horror film cult experience and poor customer service. I guess because there is a good percentage of guests who are young and in cheap horror costumes looking for the fake paranormal entertainment. Our room had no hand soap, no hair dryer, who maybe don’t respect elegantl provision. The hotel is falling into disrepair; while they have lots of expansion construction going on. Skip this hotel this year. Maybe next year it’ll be a better ambiance.

We just stayed here over the memorial weekend. What should have been mentioned in the hotel webpage is the considerable construction going on around the hotel. The entire front meadow is a pile of dirt, likely to become a parking lot. The entire back of the hotel is torn up as well. They are also adding a large building on the property. I imagine the construction noise during the weekdays would be unpleasant. That said, our stay was pleasant. We had a room facing in inner courtyard ….would rather faced outwards to the mountains. They play up the fact that this hotel is haunted with ghost tours. Both of our stays here were on the fourth floor and booth times had paranormal experiences. All the improvements they are making will probably improve the hotel, but I’d rather not stay while under construction. Despite that, we had a nice family getaway. The food and service at Cascade restaurant was pricey but very good. Pedro did a good job keeping my coffee coming during breakfast. Everyone was friendly and helpful.
