The Stanley Hotel

They are building and adding on parking was a disaster Maybe maintenance of the hotel would be better than adding on take better care of property

I would rate the hotel 4+ stars if it were not for the major construction, everywhere around the property. A beautiful hotel, once the additions are completed then I expect The Stanley to be an amazing stay. Just don't book a stay until the work is completed. To my understanding it will be sometime in 2028. My review is not a knock on the staff and management. My experience with them was positive.

The pool was at a different location for an additional fee per person. That was no where on the website. The room was mid for the price. The Stanley is a one and done. The bathroom was bigger than our room. No where to sit in the room to relax at the end of the day. I dont think we will ever stay again.

They give no water bottles in the room, room was small for a king size bed, a small closet, a bath in the way of the shower. No one at the desk at night or to check out early, have to go to main house Highly over priced, a tourist trap

The ghost tour could have been better. It was kinda boring to me, its pricey

Historic Hotel

There is a lot of construction going on August 2026.

The room was cute. Bed was clean and comfortable.

Did not realize we were not in the main hotel. Did not get the experience I thought I was paying for.

Other than that, there are FAR better places to stay in Estes Park. With the construction going on and that noise early in the morning, Forget about relaxing. The elevator broken, parking in dirt paking lots, The place is closer to an amusement park because they are playing up the movie and series as much as possible. Save your money...

No refrigerator in room. No coffee onsite. Great fitness center and real nice outside pool and hot tub.

Unpleasant Experience at The Stanley Hotel-Our stay at The Stanley Hotel was disappointing and did not meet our expectations. Upon arrival, we were booked at the Aspire Lodge located on the property but were unable to check in until 4:00 PM. Having a bad knee, I specifically requested handicap accessibility, but the assigned room, while on the first floor, had steps immediately inside the entrance leading down to the beds. This arrangement was far from ideal for someone needing accessible accommodation.The air conditioning in the room was not functioning, and staff advised us to simply open the window. This suggestion was problematic due to extensive construction taking place throughout the hotel grounds. Heavy equipment, such as rock haulers, frequently passed on the road directly outside our room, adding to the disturbance.After two hours of waiting on our original booked room, hotel management eventually relocated us to the main hotel. However, they informed us that we would be charged for the additional room since no queen beds were available. The pervasive noise, dust, and presence of cranes surrounding the property made for an uncomfortable environment, with construction activity beginning at 7:00 AM each day.The rooms were small and lacked chairs, further diminishing the comfort of our stay. The staff was not very friendly, and there was no handicap parking available onsite. The overall parking situation was difficult, with only an overflow lot provided which was dirt!

Never pass up an opportunity to stay at this property and experience all the amenities they offer!!! From coffee shop to tours to restaurants, all was worth it!! Staff were top notch also!!

Had a lot of fun lots to see

I paid over US400/per night and found the room was terrible. No complimentary water so the coffee machine won’t work. I reserved a king size bed room but only one chair so my wife had to sit on bed when we eat together. No fridge in the room, and the worst, the elevator was broken. We paid high price and found the room assigned has no views at all. New construction site right outside my windows so you had to wake up about 8am because of the noise on the construction site. Anyway, won’t recommend it to any friends.

The History and beauty of the Hotels took our breath away.

Great hotel!

That was a huge disappointment. All the views... destroyed.

We had a great time at the Stanley. Glorious old building and grounds with lots to do and really good food. Historical tour was fun and enjoyed watching the ghost tour groups go past. Our room could use some updating, but at least most everything was in keeping with the history of the hotel. The construction going on did not bother us and while parking can be a challenge, we always found a spot.

Lots of construction going on while we were there May 2026
