About the Hotel
With a storied past, famous guests, and a beautiful landscape by which it is all surrounded, The Stanley Hotel is truly a piece of American history. Perhaps most well known for its part in Stephen King's notorious novel, "The Shining," The Stanley hotel is widely recognized as one of the country's most haunted hotels. In the small town of Estes Park, Colorado - the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park - this mysterious and magical retreat first opened its doors just after the turn of the 20th century. Today, it stands as a cultural novelty, complete with luxury accommodations, fine dining, and access to glorious wilderness and mountain adventure. Guest rooms are housed in either the main building, The Lodge at The Stanley, or Overlook Condos, and every space includes flat-panel television, pillow-top mattress, and complimentary wireless Internet access. Whether your room features scenic views, whirlpool tub, or even a haunted past, you are assured to be comfortable and well entertained at every moment.

Reviews for The Stanley Hotel
No parking for hotel guests
Would not stay again. Too crazy busy. And with all the construction there is no plan for hotel guest parking.

Old, tired, dirty and poorly maintained
The Stanley hotel is beautiful on the outside and very rundown on the inside. They are taking advantage of their history and Shining fame to charge premium prices for very poorly kept rooms. I would never stay here again. The pictures are from the second room we were given after I complained about the condition of the first room. This was an “upgrade”. The windows are open to accommodate the A/C so they don’t lock. Our room was on the ground floor. The baseboard heating units look like they have been beaten with a baseball bat.

Definite must stay at least one night.
Great historic hotel. Comfortable bed, nice shower and bathroom. Loved all the historic artifacts. The restaurants were all amazing. Best desert I’ve ever had in the steakhouse. Skip the ghost tour. Extremely disappointing. Hard to understand the guide, lame stories, complete waste of time and money.

Horrible experience at Stanley!
This was a huge miss! The place is filthy, the rugs worn to threads. Everything was just a mess. Front steps loose, very dangerous. The room, the bathroom was dirty, no hot water, the wall bubbling above the shower. The tours they offer at all hours of the day, have people everywhere including in the areas specifically for the PAYING guests. No parking, steps on steps, no ramps for suitcases. Everything was worn down, construction everywhere! I spent good money to experience the Stanley Hotel and it was a complete disaster!

Way overpriced for current conditions
Don’t understand why there is so much construction going on when existing property needs SO MUCH work. Service was non existent. Parking is a mess. They should make what they have better before expanding. Wouldn’t recommend
