I grew up visiting the Stanley but never staying the night, so I'm familiar with the "haunted" aspect. We stayed for a wedding with no expectations of the "haunted experience" most go for. However, we were placed on the fourth floor, one room down from the infamous "401" which I appreciated since this is what the hotel is known for. Something fun that I really enjoyed was at check-in, you are provided with a map of the grounds and a collection of stories of guests with spooky experiences and the rooms they were in when they stayed. The building is historic, so there are some things to be expected. There is no central A/C in the building. Also, the elevator was broken our entire stay. Not ideal, however, guest services offered to have our bags brought up for us. Though many complain the rooms are small, this building has been preserved and it's about the experience. There are plenty of grounds to walk around and many artifacts, almost like a museum. This was a very enjoyable experience!

Historic is the key word here, not luxury! We came for a concert at the concert hall and know it would be a late night with an after party for hotel guests till midnight, we decided to stay the night since we came from Denver. The show and venue were absolutely amazing and you can beat the views from the hotel- longs peak and front range are spectacular! On to the actual room- small, super creaky floors, not comfy mattress or pillows. No ac, tiny bathroom and shower that you can't reach in to turn on before you actually get in and super slippery tub lining! The worst part was after a late night Athena their concert hall, LOUD construction started at 7:30 am!!!!! For the price of the room, next time we will stay elsewhere- off to take a nap!

vent going to window with gap, and construction in the front of the building.

I was super excited to stay at the iconic stanley hotel, and arrived extremely disappointed. the construction on both the front and the rear of the building was not disclosed during booking. the property is a mess on both the inside and the outside. our room is very small as well, with the ac being a stand up window unit and a large gap where the vent goes outside, letting in all the bugs. for paying $350 for ONE night, i would never stay here again. stanley.. DO BETTER!

This place is a complete rip-off. Three hundred and fifty a night for a room with no air conditioning, no regular cleaning service, no place for more than one suitcase, tiny room, and to top it off an event being held during our visit took all of the guests parking at the hotel. Both front and back of the hotel are going through major construction taking up all of the outside guest areas. And you get to listen to large earthmoving equipment all day long. None of which was mentioned on the website. Instead of updating and maintaining the legacy and history of these grounds the management chose to tout the dubious distinction of being a location used in films Dumb and Dumber, and the Shining. The real horror here is to your senses and bank account. This place is blight on Estes Park.

If you are ever in Estes Park, go visit the Stanley. There are ghost tours and a few gift shops. They host several different events throughout the year as well. It's a beautiful property with walking paths around the area. Great views and beautiful garden areas. The restaurant is good. You can enjoy a nice meal, lunch , appetizers and cocktails. Don't forget the " REDRUM" beer!! It's 10.00 to park to go visit if you're not staying in one of the rooms but you get a coin back for I think 5.00 or maybe the whole 10... can't remember but it's worth it either way. Beautiful old historic hotel with lots of great history.

While visiting The Stanley Hotel for Valentine's Day, we also decided to take one of the tours. Overall, it was okay. The tour guide was fine and definitely had a lot of information to share, but at times it felt a little odd -- she kept directing comments toward the walls, which made it a bit awkward. We were shown three rooms on the main floor, then taken outside to see the maze and the house where the housekeepers used to live, which was actually pretty cool. I just wish the tour had been longer and included more of the hotel. It would have been nice to see one of the guest rooms and maybe hear more about booking a stay to encourage visitors to come back. It was interesting and I'm glad we did it once, but it's not something I would make a special trip for again. If we're ever back in the area, I might try a different tour, but I probably wouldn't choose this one again.

This is where we stayed!

I've always wanted to stay at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. And so we did for our wedding anniversary April 2026. And I was disappointed. We booked online and made a few notes for the staff. First, it was our anniversary getaway. Second, we prefer feather pillows. We were surprised that the hotel was/is under significant construction. No mention of this on the website. A main dining area was not available, and the parking was considerably smaller. No big deal. The hotel is spattered with memorabilia from the movie. Which I didn't mind one bit. It made this hotel re-famous in spite of the fact it was a beauty built in 1907 by late, great F.O. Stanley. We opted for a queen junior suite. The size and shape of the room was wonderful. Beautiful windows that fully open allowing a nice breeze in. The bed? Average at best. It was bouncy and squeaky. The linen was good. Soft and seemed like very good quality fibers. The pillows? Well, if you like hard, lumpy, tubes for pillows, you're all set. We asked for feather pillows again. We're told they just switched over to another company (presumably the lumpy pillow factory) and would try and find some of the old pillows. We were delivered smaller lumpy pillows. This wouldn't have been so bad if we were told by email that they didn't have feather pillows. We could have brought our own pillows. But they do have feather pillows! They just needed to go over to one of the other buildings (The Aspire hotel/building) and get them. If you want to be a great hotel, you must have a good bed and pillows. Without that, nothing else matters. The layout of the room was awkward. First, two enormous TV's that were way too big for the spaces. And that's coming from someone who loves televisions. The remotes worked just as awkward. They worked, but you had to use two remoted for the main TV. The furniture was not functional. I expected maybe a desk in a junior suite. But instead, we got a sofa-sleeper. Which wasn't bad, but it was not comfortable as a couch. Two enormous dressers that sat next to each other and one prevented the other's drawers from opening. The thermostat seemed broken to me. We tried to just turn it off because it was so warm even though the outside temperature was 50, the room temperature was 75.... The entire night! We called the front desk, but they told us to do what we had already been doing. We could feel the baseboard heat on. We just opened the windows and slept without covers giving our floormates within view a show, albeit, boring. The coffee maker was a Keurig type set up and worked great. The bathroom was small but wonderful. It felt fully updated with the old charm as well. I wish it would have include a shower cap, Q-tips, and facial wipes for make-up. That's common at hotels in this price range. Other than that, the room was awesome. I'm kidding. It was not. It has potential, but it needs an interior designer who cares about the function of a room and management that understand the importance of excellent beds and pillows. And maybe read the notes guests put in the reservation. Or, if you did for us, mention it when we arrive. Like, I don't know, "Happy Anniversary! We're so happy you decided to spend it here with us. Thank you. And your feather pillows are already in your room." For the price we paid, yeah, I expect at least the feather pillows. I felt like the entire hotel had an identity crisis. Is it a luxury hotel or an attraction? In practice, they do neither very well. A couple great things. The gift shop. This shop is well appointed and stands out compared to the rest of the property. This shop is on par with the Broadmoor shops. Really nice. The Stanley Chocolate Factory in town was what I was expecting from the hotel. An excellent chocolate shop with exquisite candies that rival competitive chocolatiers. It's worth a visit. And something the hotel should model in its décor and quality. It just felt like an upscale shop. The hotel misses some of the most common conveniences. First, billing things on property to your room. I can give a pass to the Colorado Cherry Store, but I'd work on that one too. But the main restaurant? Why couldn't we charge our evening (anniversary dinner) to our room? Come to find out, our server, for whatever reason, was unaware of that. I find this baffling. The next morning, our breakfast server said, we certainly can charge it to our room. Baffling. The gift store should be billable to the room as well. I'm sorry, it's convenient for guests and should be a requirement for all on property vendors. As we sat for dinner we mentioned our anniversary to the hostess, which meant something to us at least, but she did not inform our server, so we were not offered a desert or even a "congratulations." Our hostess did say, in passing as we left, "By the way, happy birthday!" How 'bout them apples! We got a laugh out of it at least! Enough for now.

My wife and I like to do the ghost tours and adventures so when we were in Estes park we signed up for the night time tour. The Stanley is the setting for the shining. The movie was not filmed here though some of the tv series was. We arrived for the tour and after everyone gathered we started. They took us into some of the dark recesses of the hotel as well as several out buildings. At one point we all piled into one room with out the lights to see if anything happened. We were also given some time to wander around and take pics or see what we could find. Nothing showed in our pics nor did we see anything. Very cool place. We did not stay there though.

We stayed in room 217 for three nights. It was clean and beautiful. The views are amazing. Everything worked, bed comfy, slightly haunted Boo! and had the best time scaring the people who came to our door for pictures. We ate dinner at Cascades and our food was delicious. Every worker there was beyond kind and generous and fun. We didn't mind walking three minutes to our parked car in whatever spots were available. The Shining tour was great fun! We loved everything about The Stanley and can't wait to go back. Beautiful!!!

Ashley offered wonderful customer service and brought a genuine warmth to the experience. She took the time to explain the paranormal show, walked me through the different tarot decks they carry, and answered questions with enthusiasm and knowledge. Visiting today (Nov 1st, 2025) felt meaningful--it's Day of the Dead, and I was honoring my parents, who absolutely loved The Shining. Since The Stanley Hotel played such an iconic role in the film, this stop made for a fitting and heartfelt capstone to the day. Thank you, Ashley, for adding a personal and memorable touch to the visit. .

We took a historical tour on a Monday afternoon at 3:40. Our guide was very friendly and animated. He was full of interesting knowledge and facts about the building and its history. We got to go behind the scenes into many places that the general public isn't allowed, which was cool. We all learned a lot and agreed that the hour flew by. We'd love to come back and take all of the other tours available too.

Tucked away in the stunning Rocky Mountain town of Estes Park is the iconic Stanley Hotel--a grand Georgian Colonial Revival beauty built in 1909 by Freelan Oscar Stanley. Best known as the eerie inspiration for Stephen King's The Shining, this historic gem is just as captivating in real life as it is on the page. We rolled in just before noon and kicked things off with lunch at Cascades Restaurant, located inside the main building. For starters, we had the pork belly and it was absolutely unreal. So good, in fact, we came back after our hotel tour and ordered it again. So nice, we had it twice. For the main course, the wife and I both had the flat iron steak--cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Service was top-notch, and honestly, you couldn't ask for a better dining vibe than inside this haunted, historic hotel. While my wife and oldest son went on The Shining tour, I chilled with the twins in the lounge and soaked in the ambiance. Afterward, we headed back to the restaurant for dessert. We couldn't resist another order of pork belly (yes, really), and then dove into the Blueberry Bread Pudding and it was next-level good. My son went with the tiramisu and gave it two thumbs up. Even if you're not staying overnight, this place is 100% worth a visit. The hotel is packed with history, mystery, and allegedly--ghosts. We did some snooping of our own after dessert, sneaking through a few off-limits areas and snapping some pics. Definitely one for the books. #StanleyHotel #EstesPark #HauntedHotels #TheShining #StephenKingInspired #ColoradoTravel #HistoricHotels #FoodieAdventure #PorkBelly #TravelEats #BucketListTravel #CascadesRestaurant #RockyMountains #Wanderlust #HauntedPlaces #TravelVibes #FamilyTravel #HiddenGems #MountainGetaway #GhostTour Follow me on IG @hungry_dude_usa

So let me start by saying, this whole place was cool, I kinda wish we took the ghost tour instead of the history tour, BUT it was very cool to hear how this hotel was built and also how it influenced the shining. I will see as someone from sea level and also being a bigger guy, this was a lot of altitude. Also some of the areas you tour are a bit dusty. I couldn't get the frog in my throat out and I felt like I was disrupting the tour but as soon as we left the dusty building it was all good. Our tour guide eren? (From turkey) Was great and answered lots of questions. I couldn't believe he was new, with his skill it seemed like he had been doing this forever. What a natural! Anyway, next time we will have to stay the night, but for now I was glad to get to a lower level where it was easier to breathe

Ask the Community - The Stanley Hotel

What is the most haunted room?

Room 217

Are there coffee pots in the rooms?

They have Kuerig's in the rooms.

The suites in the main hotel -- is there a separation partition or a separate room between the main bed and the sofa bed? None of the pictures show this. I have e-mailed the Stanley 2x and have no answer.

Our room in the main building did not and was far too small for that to be possible. Too small for a sofa at all, in truth.… Read more

Is there Room service?

No, there is not.

What's the attire for the restaurant? We're staying in Denver but plan to make a day trip to the Stanley and Estes park. Should we bring a nice change of clothes or is casual ok?

We wore resort casual and that was perfect. You will see some others in more date night attire (dresses, suits) but will also see others in casual clothes. It's a hiking destination so they don't turn away jeans.

Do they really charge you just to park and walk around the hotel?

Pretty much. You get a coin and the coin can be used for a drink at the bar. We went and ended up booking a later tour when we left and came back there was no guard on duty to collect payment.. can't speak to if this is the norm or a fluke but… Read more

He mentioned that the owner doesn't like kids playing and there is a sign. While there is a sign posted behind the wall and not clearly marked, it has been completely ignored by staff and other families for the years we've been coming here, and certainly wasn't mentioned during our other visits this week. Even today, it seemed to be selectively enforced. If a family is respectful, knows how to use the equipment properly, and has been welcomed all week, there should be some common sense and hospitality applied--especially for repeat customers. To allow it for days and then suddenly change the rules on our 5th visit is just poor hospitality and frankly feels slightly discriminatory.

Today (June 2024), that's obviously is not an issue, but it meant a lot that they would work so hard to stay open during such a challenging time for community recreation centers. I have only spent time at the leisure pool, so I can't speak directly to the rest of the facilities. The leisure pool is excellent. Both the water and the pool deck are warm, which is a great feature for young ones. The family locker rooms are clean and there are 3 private shower rooms for young children. The leisure pool has a small slide for children under 4, water cannons, waterfall buckets, a lazy river, a water slide, and a hot tub. We have been able to visit both as guests of a local resident and as non-residents. Obviously the non-resident day pass is more expensive, but I would say it's reasonable, especially for a place where kids can easily spend 2-4 hours and get a nice warm shower.

After PAYING and given directions to the men's locker room, the following brief exchange occurred. M = me; RBF = "resting bitch face" front-desk person M: "Do you have family showers as well?" RBF: "Ugh... There are shower stalls with curtains in there [the men's locker room] for privacy. Family showers are only for our guests." (replied with an annoyance and attitude; the built-in "resting bitch face" didn't help) M: "So you do have them [family showers]?" RBF: "Yes..." (a reluctant response, again with attitude) OK, a few points on that, and I'm about to apply some "logic" so it may not be comprehendible to these numbskulls: 1. Apparently, the policy here is that a single person entering the facility is strictly forbidden from inquiring about any family-related offerings, because the individual is automatically assumed to not have a family who can be brought in the next time. Kind of judgy, no? I thought Colorado fervently supported a little something called "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion"--in which no one should be at first classified or treated based on how they looked. 2. It was probably just an unfortunate/unintentional slip that RBF affirmed the family showers for true "guests" (implying I wasn't one). However, the following rebuttal would be to teach RBF that she should really learn to STFU first and think carefully, then speaking. So, if it was acceptable for you to degrade people paying for showers not as guests, then correspondingly it would also be acceptable for me to personally consider you, RBF, as deserving to be harshly slapped every time you blurbed out something idiotic. With MY BELIEF in mind, everyone, you could come in and confront this moron on early Monday mornings. 3. I didn't pay $1, $2 (like at the Windsor Community Recreation Center) or even $4. I paid 6 damn dollars just to take a shower, so I'd be choosing whichever fucking shower I wanted, as long as I didn't start using any other features of the facility. Also, no families were there at that time (and, in fact, at many other centers around the country I'd visited, even when families were present I could just use the family rooms without the staff getting their panties in a bunch like RBF here). And what if somebody actually needed even more privacy? It could be that guest was inflicted with some kind of extreme "social anxiety disorder" (or something similar as how those lazy, victim-mindset bullshitters claimed nowadays). 4. Who kept hiring these entitled, disrespectful turds and never training them on proper customer service? Remember that I, A PAYING CUSTOMER, was THE REASON YOU HAD A JOB. In this case, it also meant I was a "guest," stupid. It wasn't like I randomly walked in off of the street and begged to use your showers for free. 5. And a final point: did these pompous Estes Valley Community Center retards think that theirs was the only, unique one in all of America? Because if that was the case, you could be standing right there, hurling insults and making fun of my penis while I showered, and I'd simply accept it. But you're not--I know because it's not like (as stated) I haven't taken showed at numerous community centers across the country or anything. Now, all that gracious smart knowledge and reasoning wouldn't have needed if the brief exchange had gone like this: FF = friendly face front desk person M: "Do you have family showers as well?" FF: "Yes, and those are reserved for arriving families only. But thank you for choosing to use our facility today." (normal, friendly response) M: "Sounds good."
