The Stanley Hotel has stunning grounds and a rich history, making it a captivating place to stay. While the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the unique ghost tour was a highlight, our overall experience was marred by uncomfortable beds and some disappointing service issues. Additionally, the noise from other guests and the lack of attention to room assignments detracted from our stay, especially given the premium price we paid.
