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
Awful
Absolutely awful. There is nothing charming about this hotel. Staff were unhelpful and appeared overwhelmed at all times. No daily servicing of the room. An overpriced tourist trap
Lara R
Yuck! Stay away!
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!

Wait two years after construction is completed
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,

Our Spooky, Perfect Stay
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!

Yuck
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.
