The Stanley Hotel

Beautiful views of the mountains. Convenient walk to downtown Estes Park.

Limited bathroom counter space, poor wifi, uninformed concierge, unaddressed maintenance issues .

Most of staff was excellent and hotel is over 100 years old and a very interesting place to stay.

Heating is very poor when cold and windy and also found out they do not have air conditioning for summer months.

The outside is very stately.

There are alot of people wandering around who are not guests. There was always something going on.

Old time ambiance.

Bed was uncomfortable. Bathroom small and dingy.

Historical perspective.

I stayed during a weekend where there were two weddings. Lots of people and lots of noise. Parties going into the night. Giggling girls next door. No card in room detailing the times of the opening and closing of restaurant, bar, and the downstairs snack and coffee area. My nephew was traveling with me, he fell on mountain and twisted his ankle. I asked for a wheelchair that was provided. I asked if there was a doctor in the house. He said no. Never asked if I needed any assistance. Just walked away upon giving me the wheelchair. When placed reservation asked for a mountain view, did not get.

I loved the history and ambience at The Stanley Hotel. It has such a great story behind it and you just can't help but love the Stanley's for their kindness and devotion to this place.

Only that they did not have any type of room service or drink machines on any of the floors.
