The Stanley Hotel

The Stanley is a beautiful, historic hotel! The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Great restaurants and coffee shop.

Hoyel was nice but very expensive for what you get. Our room was near main hallway so was very loud due to.locatuon.

The room was nice and clean

Every information for the hotel doesn’t tell you how badly you will be disappointed. The room was hot and wouldn’t cool down, the shower drain wasn’t attached, they charge you to stay in the main building then stick you in a different one that is lower qual then a motel 6. Go see the place but I don’t recommend staying when rooms less then a like away are better and a fraction on the cost. I’ll be requesting compensation.

The property is under construction for the next several years. Parking is a joke. Constitution starts at 7:00am. Be prepared to be waken up at that time.

Hotel is dated not in an historic way. Parking was difficult and major construction happening. Waking to Jack hammers at dawn. TV never worked and ordered maintenance ticket was ignored. Hotel Guests were outnumbered by nosey tourists clogging up porch and what few facilities were offered. Hotel staff were friendly if you could find them. The bartender informed us that the movie Shining wasn’t filmed in the hotel and the outside side movie images were of a different hotel. Steven King only stayed there and was inspired by his bad experiences at the Stanley. Bottom line… be a nosey tourist and save your money.

Great location and outside of the hotel is pretty. Rooms / bathrooms should be updated.

This was a terrible experience. There is nothing in the description that alludes to the fact that you won’t necessarily be staying in the historic building. When we checked in, they told us the elevator wasn’t working and since we booked 3rd party, there was nothing they could do. When we got to our room, we discovered that the only air conditioning was a portable unit with an exhaust hose that wasn’t properly attached to the window. The hose kept falling out and the room got horribly hot. 85ish degrees. The finally agreed to move us to another room at 3:00 am. They couldn’t give us keys, and had to use an emergency key to let us into the new room. Told us to make sure that one of us always stayed in the room until we checked out. Fully recommend visiting and touring, but don’t stay here.

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!
