The wife and I went to the Stanley after many years of her asking to make a getaway there. It was fabulous! The facilities are amazing in character and in accommodations. The staff were always pleasant, helpful and attentive. Overall, a great weekend away. More

If you have the chance to stay in the Stanley, do. We live only 1.5 hrs from Estes and sometimes just go up for lunch or dinner, but staying overnight is so wonderful. Old world charm, amazing views, top-notch service and, of course, many stories of those that have stayed there. Jack Nicholson filmed The Shining here. Halloween is a... More

To fully understand how EstesPark came to be, thanks to the Stanleys. An informative and entertaining History Tour can't be beat. For a Different kind of entertainmennt get on the Ghost Tour also. Many people are aware of the Stephen King connection but many other interesting stories are included. We had extra guests in our room every night, so much... More

My husband and I chose the Stanley hotel as a quick one night getaway from Denver to enjoy our 7-year anniversary. First, we were very pleased to get a discounted rate online. We arrived on a Friday at 3pm and were able to check in right away. We had dinner reservations at the Cascades Restaurant at 6pm so we spent... More

Huge closet, generous bathroom, two windows and king size bed. The mattress was very comfortable. There were plenty of pillows and an extra blanket. If you want a room with ghosts be sure... More

The Stanley is a wonderfully restored mansion of a hotel. The rooms are small, but warm, comfortable and clean. Good coffee shop and really outstanding food and service in the restaurant. Wednesday night local's dinner is good fun. The mid-winter visit had few guests, so the hotel was quiet and restful. Whatever ghosts were there were enjoying the peaceful winter... More

I confess, I’ve never seen the movie “The Shining” nor have I read the book from which it was adapted. I’m just not that big of a Stephen King fan. So the fact that the Stanley Hotel was the inspiration for “The Shining” wasn’t a factor in my decision to stay there. Nor was the Stanley’s reputation as one of... More

I booked this room a while in advance but not enough in advance to secure a room that wasn't directly above a wedding party. Ah, the lovely sounds of thumping and grinding that went on deep into the evening. This was further decorated by the inability for me to obtain any ice whatsoever throughout the evening...you'd think the hotel's catering... More
