    Main Room of our Suite
    Eric E.

    Wonderful feels like new in a perfect location boutique hotel! I have been visiting Glenwood Springs my entire life and always stayed the Hotel Colorado as my great great grandfather's company were the carpenters contracted to build the hotel. This time, with a family of my own we wanted something with more space, newer and closer to restaurants, etc. We made an excellent choice! One of the best hotels we've ever stayed in through our travels worldwide! Great amenities, easy parking, amazing space. We will return!!!

    The Hotel Maxwell Anderson used to be known as the Hotel Denver. I don't know the history of the name change, but there's still signage on the building that declares the old name. This building is historic and absolutely stunning. The decor in the lobby area is 1920's glam and makes me wish I was dressed in a fancy cocktail dress rather than my tourist wardrobe of sneakers and shorts. I half expect a scene from a movie to unfold in front of me at any time-it's that glamorous. The room I stayed in was very comfortable and spacious. The bed was cozy and we had all the basic necessities with the exception of tissues or a microwave. It's weird that there was a fridge, but no microwave. The location is perfect for those arriving by train, like we did. They are pretty strict with their check-in time, we were not able to get into our room early and noticed that other people were turned away too. They must stay pretty busy and need all that time to get rooms turned over between guests. There are a couple restaurant/coffee shops onsite, but no free breakfast. There are also lots of options nearby within walking distance.

    Our room - large chest of drawers

    Great location, tastefully renovated hotel, friendly staff. No housekeeping over three night stay. No closet or bar for coat-hangers. 3 coat hooks by the front door. We were continually stumbling over open suitcases on the floor. Huge chest of drawers, though.

    Chandelier much too low. The only two pictures were oddly placed and too small for the space.

    Conveniently located, comfortable, and quiet. Service was good. Price was very reasonable. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. All the expected hotel comforts and conveniences were there, so no points off for the following: The decor. It was not offensive, but it was not cohesive. Our room had a chandelier (hanging between the bed and the desk) which is hung in an awkward spot and so low that my husband hit his head on it anytime he walked next to the bed. Okay, so that's actually inconvenient. The pictures on the wall in our room are not scaled for the room and one is hung too low and one is hung too high. Whoever designed the room missed some opportunities for using the wall space to enhance the room. The bathroom sink design was a poor attempt at modern industrial. The plumbing, including plumber's tape, should not be the thing one has to look at when sitting on the toilet. The real oddball design is the mix of small framed art on the multi story lobby walls. One cannot see the higher level art looking up from the lobby floor, but can see most of it if you climb the stairs. It's a disjointed mix of western, art deco, modern, and botanical art. It would be pretty cool if they stuck to one theme, but this missed the mark. It's rather like being a mouse looking up at a random collection of refrigerator magnets found at a flea market. And yet, the actual hotel qualities were so fine, I will still rate it 5 stars.

We booked two nights here when we were in Glenwood Springs, and it was a pleasant surprise. The motel is impeccably clean, both the grounds as well as the room. The bed was large, cozy, and comfortable. We asked for extra pillows and towels, and the staff happily obliged within minutes. The only downside was that our room did not have a mini-fridge, but we used ice to keep our drinks cold. The TVs here have more channels than any other hotel or motel I have stayed in, including nice properties. You have the full cable channel lineup as well as several premium channels like HBO. Our room was upstairs and we enjoyed sitting on the "porch" outside in the chairs and having drinks and talking. Others staying here occasionally sit outside as well. Despite being so close to the highway, the room was extremely quiet at night. A few restaurants are within walking distance, including an authentic taco truck, El Taco Express. I would happily stay here again and will recommend it to any friend traveling in the area.

Bonus: It's so close to downtown Glenwood Springs and the hot springs! Just a five minute drive to downtown.

I mean, you're in gorgeous Glenwood Springs- why would you stay in your hotel all day?!

This hotel is a bit dated, we checked in the front and circled around the back to park. I noticed one of the elevator was down, so we had to use the back elevator to go upstairs to our room. The hot pool is a walk down the hill. There's a trail to get down there. The locker room is available to use for all guests. I believe they offer daily access as well, if you don't decide to stay at the resort. 2 Olympic size pools, one of them over 100 degrees and the other below 100. We hungout there until we got hungry. It was so cold out, I was running and shivering. Hotel was clean and convenient, free breakfast in the morning before check out.

They have their own lodge opposite the pools. Modern accommodations. I got a regular double queen room for $229/night + tax & fees. That includes breakfast in the main pool building at The Grill, complimentary resort robes you can wear while walking over to the pool building, unlimited access to the pools, unlimited towels, men's & women's locker rooms with showers. The lockers are free using 4 digit codes. No keys. If you entered the wrong code like I did twice, an housekeeping attendant will unlock it. The main football field sized pool opened in 1888 and except for a short period during WW II it has been available to everyone. I didn'task about racial issues, but no restrictions now. Current hours are 9am-9pm. The main pool is 95F and the Therapy pool is 104F. Two years ago they opened 5 new smaller pools including a cold plunge at 50F and a slightly warmer 75F. The Therapy pool has jacuzzi couches and water jet positions. The pool building includes a full fitness center for $19/day open to all.

It's not the most upscale option in town, but for the price, the location at the base of the adventure park, and a few key amenities, it has worked well for our family--until this visit. Three hours before check-in, we received a call informing us that the pool had to be drained, cleaned, and refilled due to an accident. Completely understandable--things happen that are out of everyone's control. What was disappointing, however, was the way the situation was handled from there. When I spoke with Mia (who I later learned is the GM or Assistant GM), I was met with an unnecessarily rude and dismissive tone while being told there would be no compensation due to the unexpected closure. To be clear, I would have accepted that answer had it been communicated professionally. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Instead, the conversation felt condescending, and the fact that we were "notified in advance" was repeatedly emphasized--as if a three-hour notice is a generous heads-up. Given that the pool is a major draw for families (and a big reason we choose this hotel), more proactive communication would have gone a long way. Even a day's notice could have allowed guests to make alternative plans. When we arrived, the pool was already nearly full, so it's reasonable to assume this issue wasn't discovered at the last possible moment. It's also worth noting that there appeared to be ample downtime among staff, including management, to reach out to guests staying that day or the next. A quick call ahead would have shown consideration and basic customer service. At the end of the day, situations like this are less about the inconvenience itself and more about how they're handled. Unfortunately, this interaction set the tone for our entire stay. It's disappointing that one conversation can outweigh multiple prior visits, but in this case, it did. Because of the unprofessional handling of this situation, we won't be returning.

The pool is poorly lit at night and the pool bathroom smells like mold. And breakfast is nothing but pastries. The rooms are clean and the staff are friendly, but it's I expect more for paying for that kind of money to stay. The pool area is amazing. I don't even know why the stairs were closed because they're open today. It is convenient for the ride to the top but I'd rather just pay for parking than pay that kind of money for a hotel that doesn't wow me.

Carbdondale is 14 miles away and 20-25 minutes. It is a beautiful drive between the two and was great exploring another mountain town. The Distillery Inn is a breath of fresh air. They offer five rooms. One is downstairs adjacent to the distillery and tasting room. It is handicap accessible. The other four are just up a few sets of stairs and have their own balconies. The room we stayed in Ginger is gorgeous. It is modern and offers a ton of space. The bathroom is large with a closet with safe, large counter with oversized sink, bathroom with sliding door and walk in shower with rain and handheld heads. The bed was very comfortable with high quality sheets. There is a gas fireplace and coffee machine and mini fridge. They do offer a minibar and their own spirits to buy. The room had a couch and desk as well as a patio with two chairs to relax in. On the second floor is an outdoor patio with several tables to sit at. We took advantage of unseasonably warm weather in November to eat meals at. The patio has a beautiful view of Carbondale. They provide daily newspapers and in the hallway for the rooms are additional coffee pods, plates and silverware for eating in your room. The owner Connie was extremely helpful going above and beyond to surprise my wife with flowers. She gave me different options and the vase and flowers were in the room when we checked in. She answered questions we had and helped us troubleshoot a small problem with some of the technology. The tasting room is gorgeous. We didn't spend much time there but enjoued live music from the patio (with fireplace) just outside. They have reserved parking for Inn guests behind the building in the alley. They do have free charging for electric vehicles which is very uncommon. We did buy a few bottles of their Moonlight Espresso and Whiskey and they are both delicious and oh so drinkable. The downtown of Carbondale was quiet but filled with lots of restaurants, shops and mountain hospitality. Looking forward to returning to the Distillery Inn on future visits.

Walking distance to everything, including Main St shops and restaurants, hiking trails and a working farm w/ animals to visit. Five rooms total were perfect for gathering family while each having our own rooms. A rooftop area extended shared areas. Best of all, they distill their own brand of vodka and whisky and serve creative mixed drinks downstairs. You could never find this at a name brand chain hotel. GREAT mattress, a gas fireplace, high end bathroom finishes, stocked mini fridge and in case you need them, snacks for purchase. Bags of ice are steps from each door, along with a little coffee/tea/newspaper area for the floor. No front desk. No office. But the ladies who run the Inn are friendly and efficient, communicating via email and phone. You get a keyed entry code prior to arrival. Small town hospitality without the awkward B&B interactions. We all loved it and will be back again.

It's not your uber modern hipster type of place, but more like staying with a good friend. There are just 2 guest rooms, so not a lot of noise like hotels.

This B&B has a comfortable king bed with buttery soft sheets, massive bathroom stocked with all the essentials, breakfast and snacks readily available, and a wonderful hot tub which is a must-have amenity in our book. Nothing like hot tubbing while it's snowing. PROS: -We arrive early and were able to check-in right away -Derek is the consummate host, friendly and welcoming -Can walk to all bars, restaurants and shops downtown -Street parking available any time of the day or night -King bed, good pillows, soft blankets for great sleep -TV with Netflix and Hulu, though we didn't watch -Body wash, shampoo, lotion, blow dryer, fluffy towels -Properly cleaned room, bathroom and even hot tub -Keurig machine for coffee, hot chocolate, tea, etc. -Fridge with creamer, milk, OJ and room for our beer -Breakfast/snack options, great to grab and go -Keyless locks on doors plus Ring cam for security -Derek can arrange for you to have a massage on-site -Outdoor spaces are also 420 and smoker friendly Considerations - not cons - be sure you're ok with your partner's bodily functions. The sliding door to the bathroom is beautiful but does not offer much privacy or sound barrier. The cast iron tub is great in theory but stepping up into it (and out again) for showers is an adventure. Also, the overflow cutout is low, so you don't get a completely full tub to soak in. There are hooks for coats and other places to unpack clothing, but it would've been great to have access to the closet to fully get our stuff and bag out of the way. Also, this is an old home with creaky floors and stairs which I personally love. However, if you're a light sleeper, you're gonna hear squeaks and the murmur of voices. Bottom line, we had a wonderful time and will be back!

And it runs until midnight. So, all this to say, I really enjoyed my stay here, and absolutely will be staying here again. They offered free breakfast, and the views of the red rock mountains right behind the hotel are stunning. And you can walk to some shops, Natural Grocers, Target, even the recreation center.
