Not what they sell on their website

I have never been so dissapointed in a hotel experience. The Hotel Colorado sells luxury on their website and the reality is that they are not doing this property justice, it could be something special like the Broadmoor or Brown Palace. We spent one summer night in this hotel and found out the hard way that they did not have air conditioning. Room service trays littered int eh hallway and not removed for 24 hours. They charged us $150.00 for a room that we couldn't sleep in (the bed and pillows were horrible)! Complaints to the hotel have gone unanswered. If you go, don't go in the Summer or you will regret it!
- Pros: Historical , Hot Springs, Location
- Cons: , Overpriced
Not a lot for what you spend by Marie A. at InsiderPages

This Hotel is beautiful, historic and luxurious, but it is also very expensive, and not very family friendly. I took my aging mother and three kids there for a weekend to relive my childhood memories of staying ot the Hotel, and like the old adage says, you can never go back. I found the hotel in the 21st century to be like any other hotel - they move you in and move you out just to make a dollar, and if you have little kids you're more of an inconvenience for the hotel staff. I'm not saying you'll be disappointed like I was, just don't plan on a family trip.
Don't stay at this hotel.

We stayed for 2 nights in Nov. 2007. We rented 2 rooms and they both were not worth the over priced cost. As we were leaving, after we had checked out, I turned to take a picture of our friends on the main floor. I was slammed in my back by one of their doors. I ended up in emergency when I got home with a back injury. A picture was actually taken at the exact moment that I was injured. The Hotel will not respond to any of my complaints. Not even an apology. All they care about is getting money in their pockets and then in the welfare of their customers. I warn everyone do NOT waste your money at this hotel. BEWARE
Colorado Hotel is the best thing in Glenwood Springs

We spent 4th July weekend at the Colorado Hotel. Before we went I read all the reviews on this website and to be honest I did not know what to expect. I called the hotel early on July 4 and requested a early check in and when we arrived at 11:00 am the hotel staff was friendly and ready to accomodate us. Our room was clean, cool and comfortable. I was also concerned about the lack of air conditioning but it was not uncomfortable in the least. I did notice that the Bible was displayed and opened to the 35 Palms and a crystal hanging from the ceiling fan this sent up a red flag due to ghostly experiences in my past. I would also like to add that we took our english bulldog with us and she had the time of her life and was warmly welcomed by the staff and other guests. But getting back to the ghost story on our last night there about 2:00 am I was suddenly awaken by something touching my leg and it wasnt my husband or my dog..... I will add that the Hot Spring pool is overpriced and the rafting trip we took via Big Sky Adventure was more like a float down the river. The Hotel Colorado was worth the expereince.

I have not stayed at the Hotel of Colorado but when my friend told me about it, she said that when you go to the floor where it is meant to be haunted, the temperature dropped dramatically. She said that it did not feel like an evil spirit but you felt like someone was watching you and it was eerie and like a spirit was wandering around there somewhere. I want a few friends to stay there but they won't. My advice, you never know what an experience like this is going to be like until you try it. So, take a chance and stay a night or two!!!
- Pros: A great experience.
- Cons: Totally Haunted!!!

this hotel is out of the early 1900s and is a magnificent place to stay next to the natural springs. the hotel is grand by every standard and is reasonable in price. the deco is nice and the rooms are very big and very clean. a must.

i recently stayed here for a three day business meeting in glenwood. i had not heard that it was haunted nor had i ever been to a haunted hotel before. i and my entire family immediately felt it. do not stay in a few rooms, including 241. two out of four mornings around 7 am i smelled cigar smoke in the lobby. after i returned to my home town i looked up the hotel online to see if anyone else thought it was haunted. apparently it is famous for being haunted and many people mention smelling cigar smoke from the lobby when noone was around! there are other stories online as well. many of which, we had witnessed ourselves. it was an interesting experience but i will never stay there again. they really need to put in an air conditioning system in as well. after i am home safe though, i am glad i experienced it.
- Pros: near hot springs and historic
- Cons: haunted

The Scene
This impressive National Historic Landmark was modeled after the 16th-century Italian Renaissance castle, Villa de Medici. It is ideal for ski buffs that want an alternative to the area's typical mountain style lodges. Along with Italian flair, it offers the ambiance of the grand hotels of yesteryear.
The Details
The 126 spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated with imported Italian wallpaper, carefully selected artwork and period antiques. Penthouse suites include wet bars, refrigerators and mountain views, and the two bell tower suites feature double Jacuzzis and private dining balconies. There is one on-site restaurant, the elegant Grand Lobby Cafe. With meeting spaces and professional planning services, the hotel can accommodate events up to 750.
