Possibly our 20th visit!!

We have visited this hotel many times over the last twenty years and love the very special atmosphere. In the past two or three years there has been a great deal of renovation work carried out and the suite we occupied was a real treat. Warm and comfortable, very fresh...

Beautiful Hotel and amazing experience

Everything at this hotel was just perfection. Our stay was in December so the decor was exceptional. All the little extras were great, from the free shuttle in town to the robes we could use at the hot springs. Shout out to Thomas & Dane for going above and beyond....

Historic but Mostly Just Feels Old

This hotel is definitely has an interesting history but it really just feels old. Our room was an average size and the bed was comfortable and it felt clean but as many have said the bathroom is very small. We did not have any issues with hot water and the...

Hotel Colorado

The hotel is old and it needs to be renovated but at the same time it has a nostalgic vibe . The rooms are very big but the bathrooms very small and outdated. The garden with the outside restaurant is truly nice . There is plenty of space around the...

Cool Hotel!

This was a fun hotel with a great deal of history. I would stay again. It is purported to be haunted, but we did not experience anything of the sort. We ordered beer and onion rings at the seating areo outside. They arrived in a very timely manner, and they...

Extremely Dated Hotel

Stayed at Hotel Colorado during the Rocky Mountaineer Red Rock to Rockies train ride from Moab to Denver. This hotel is a dump and in desperate need of an up grade. There is no gym. The rooms are dated. The bathrooms old. The price to stay here is an overcharge...

Go somewhere else

Only giving one star ‘cause zero wasn’t an option. This historic hotel is crying out for a major renovation. For the insane room rates they charge, guests deserve better than a pathetically out of date bathroom (light switch behind the door, NO vanity space or other horizontal surface to set...

A Comfortable Night

We stayed here while on our Rockies to the Red Rocks Rocky Mountaineer trip. This is an historic old hotel, which opened in 1892. It was an extremely interesting hotel with comfortable rooms. We would definitely stay here again if we visit Glenwood Springs.


Cold water, hot room, very poor value

I expect 3 things from a hotel stay: A clean room, a hot shower and an environment that allows for a good night’s sleep. The room appeared to be clean but the shower was cold every single day, regardless of timing and the room was stiflingly warm. We paid $500/night...

Another Historic Hotel on Our Travels

We occasionally like to stay in these older historic places just for the ambience. This is the third Teddy Roosevelt stayed here hotel (Menger, Copper Queen) , so we are used to the drawbacks. There is nothing wrong with this place that several million dollars of restoration wouldn't fix. It...

Not what we expected!

Check-in: we arrived early and were hoping to get a early check-in, unfortunately, the hotel was sold out the night before and we could only check-in 30 minutes early. We completely understood. Check-in was fast and efficient. We received hotel history information which was very interesting. In the lobby there...

1893 historic Hotel Colorado

We stayed here only one night, but made the most of the town. This historic hotel gives you all of the feels. This stately 1893 luxurious hotel is a stunner. We had a king bed suite with a large sitting room. Delicious coffee selections in room, but no fridge. It...

STAY AWAY

Horrible Customer Service - Stay Away! If I could give zero stars, I would. Our stay at Hotel Colorado has been a complete nightmare. We've had to deal with kids stomping above us all day and night it sounds like they are just jumping off their beds into the floors...
