What guests think

Hotel St. Nicholas is a restored historic inn with friendly owners and a lively on-site tavern, offering comfortable, uniquely decorated rooms, while recurring notes mention creaky floors, a basic continental breakfast, and a steep uphill walk to downtown.

Reviews frequently highlight cleanliness, careful preservation, and some rooms with standout views. Drawbacks mentioned include the absence of an elevator, occasional temperature control issues or lack of air conditioning, and sporadically limited parking. Expect a characterful, low-frills stay focused on history and warmth rather than modern hotel conveniences.

You could describe this hotel as "quaint," but I can't think of any other positive adjectives. It is old, outdated, and in a bit of disrepair. Breakfast is unspectacular at best. Floors everywhere creak loudly. No elevator. Significantly over-priced.

This place was fantastic! The service was Excellent! The room was amazing! The bar was great! Even the other guests were fun to be around! The room was very clean and so cute. The area rug could be updated, but that’s no big deal. The room was cool, as it was very cold outside, and the thermostat for all rooms are controlled in one central location, but they provided a space heater, which worked great and made the room just right. We were very excited to try this place out, and we are so happy we did. Will most definitely stay here again! Pictures we’ve share are Room 16, on 3rd floor.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were very comfortable. The owners and staff are very nice and helpful. We enjoyed the tavern on sight where we mingled with the locals heard the ghost stories about the hotel. Sat on the porch with our coffee in the morning. Just a great place to stay. Will definitely go back.

It seemed like a great idea to stay in this unique property until they proceeded to have karaoke until late hours directly under our room. We got zero sleep even after fighting with the drunk employee about turning the karaoke off. If you like to sleep in bars, go ahead. Otherwise, I’d avoid.

This B&B was the area hospital back in the late 1800s to early 1900s. I enjoyed the history and decor. The bar was enjoyable and also the parlour. Sunny breakfast room. The onsite caretaker, Bill, is very friendly. It’s a very pleasant stay here.

We were wowed the second we walked through the door! The building that houses this hotel is over a 120 years old. Yes, there may be some creaks and groans with everyone wandering around, but it adds to the charm and really helps you live through its history! Each room is unique and has its own flair. We were in the "smallest," room but it was more than adequate to sleep in. There are plenty of other places to lounge and you are free to explore the building. We didn't take advantage of the spa but it seems like it is really nice! The staff was fantastic and was super attentive. We enjoyed some beverages at the on site tavern which were very high quality and delicious! We also loved that it's a short walk from the casinos. We could gamble and come back to a laid back and quiet atmosphere. TL;DR great rooms, great drinks, great staff. Stay here you won't regret it! Definitely will be back!

Stayed one night after a day of hiking. Hotel has a rich history dating back to the late 1800’s, so I could really appreciate the efforts taken to preserve the authenticity of the building. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and enjoyed the stay. Owner was very nice and accommodating, and really enjoyed our conversation about the hotel. It is within walking distance to Main Street to access casinos and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is a historic building- an old hospital so it was fun to stay here and see all the cool details. However, it was pretty cold inside- partly due to it being an old building, but I’m also pretty sure that they didn’t turn the heat on. Breakfast is super basic. The room that we thought we booked was not what we got. But it worked for us. Staff was very friendly and informative about the history of the area.

Loved the hotel. It is charming and staff was super friendly. However it was pretty noisy (traffic noise), the shades didn’t begin to block outside lights, the bed sagged toward the middle, and the shower didn’t have much power. In spite of that I would stay there again and would recommend it to others.

We were seriously misled about this place. It is placed up a steep hill from the main part of town, which makes it extremely tough on seniors to walk anywhere, no small store nearby for a soft drink or more, no air conditioning, no elevators (we were stuck on the third floor!) and the "free?" breakfast is a joke!

This is a very special place in my home state of Colorado. It doesn't take much imagination to feel like you are 150 years removed from the present day in this spot which is 2 block walk (uphill but just one way) to center of town. So very fun and a well kept secret so I apologize to the staff if I'm giving it away. But too good and fun not to comment. Thanks Bill and we hope to see you soon!
