The Stanley Hotel

This was our first stay at The Stanley but have visited on a few occasions in the past. First and foremost the staff were fantastic. Check in was a little chaotic but once this was accomplished everyone was friendly & helpful. As others have mentioned the construction was understandable but the hotel should have notified guests prior to arrival or booking. We stayed on the 4th floor in room #415. Room is tight but had a lot of charm. The hotel has no air conditioning and the room was very warm, we slept with the window open and it never dropped below 70 degrees. I would imagine in the summer this floor is too warm to stay in. The view from the room was outstanding. Overall we were pleased with the accommodations. We also attended the comedy show with Tom Papa at the new theatre which is gorgeous! The show and facility were top notch. Lastly, we attended the illusionist show Aiden Sinclair. I am not much of a believer but this show was fantastic. Even if your not into magic/illusions he is a tremendous story teller and provided wonderful history of the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this show. It was well worth the $20 ticket. All in all our stay was fantastic, only reason it doesn’t get a 5/5 is the construction but more so the lack of communication regarding this. Once this is completed it will be even more beautiful. The Stanley has done a wonderful job of offering entertainment and making it even more of a destination.

Wow. I am so happy to have been able to visit and see the hotel where a few scenes from Dumb & Dumber was filmed. The hotel is currently undergoing renovation but looks beautiful either way. The hotel is massive and just has a presence of royalty and elegance. The keys are hard physical gold keys!

Had reservation for three people in a suite, didn't have the bedding for three nor the coffee nor the toiletries. Had to call the front desk, they did bring everything to the room in a timely manner. When I pay almost double for a room I shouldn't have had to call in the first place. At check-in they charge an additional $100 deposit. I was fine with that knowing no one in my group would destroy anything. but now it is over tens days since our stay and still waiting for the return of the deposit.

We visited the Stanley Hotel for a weekend for our first time in Estes Park. The hotel is undergoing extensive renovations and the weekend we were there they were laying carpet in the hallways and the elevator was broke. This did not stop us for enjoying our stay. Ruger, the bell man, was a very busy guy, but very, very nice. He lugged our 3 bags of luggage up and down three flights of stairs when we arrived and then when we left to. We also did the Spirit Tour, and Scary Mary was the best tour guide. I highly recommend this hotel. The historic significance of this hotel in the Estes Park area is very interesting.

Stayed at Stanley in conjunction with comedy show at their pavillion venue. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. However, hotel was undergoing substantial refurbishing. I would have liked a heads up on that before arriving. The elevator was not operating so we were originally happy we were on the second floor. However the rooms have no soundproofing ( part of the historic charm) and the carpets were removed for replacement. Up until 2 am due to noisy guests in hallway, and someone knocking over barrel in hall placed to prevent tripping on rough floor. Tried to come back for nap after beakfast but construction started at 8 am and was quite noisy. Would go back, but would ask about renovations in process before booking.
