    There was no air conditioning unfortunately due to the time of year. The rooms are very small. The view is of a parking lot. And its more expensive then if we stayed on mountain at a modern resort.

    No ventilation in bathrooms which led to overnight soggy towels. Curtain rack is not affixed properly with anchors, tiles cracking. Curtain rod in bathroom hanging low on one side due to lack of anchors. shower control faucet not caulked into tiling, makes it shakey and heavens knows where the excess water is going inside the building. No curtain rods in the room, had to hang on door hangers, of which several arms were broken. Magazine rack hanging to one side due to once again, being drilled into concrete walls without anchors. Bristol's rooms are very much worth over 100$. However If you get them in peak season at over 300$~ be expected to be disappointed for the cost.

    The staff was friendly and helpful and location is nice. The rooms are in disrepair and not worth the price they are charging . There is mildew in showers. Shower curtains need to be replaced. Walls are dirty, carpets dingy. This place needs a complete overhaul. Would not recommend . Complete overpriced disappointment.

    The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The location is great. Due to this being a historical building, the bathroom was tiny and had no storage and barely any place to hang a towel. Also, the hot tub wasn't hot (just warm) and the jets didn't work.

    Initially, the room we were assigned was extremely tight for a King size bed room. Had we known, we would have paid less for a double room suite. When we got to our room we found that our sink was not draining. We told the front desk and they moved us to another room right away. We got moved across the hall to a double room suite which was much more spacious. It was an odd setup since it is an older hotel - you had to go through the bathroom to reach the 2nd room/living room area. The hotel is under new management so they're still working through the kinks and figuring out what needs fixing. Appreciated their quick action. We only stayed 1 night, but it was a comfortable stay and bedroom. We were on the 1st floor so only view was the parking lot. They do have a hot tub but hours were 10a-10p so we didn't get a chance to try it based on our plans.

    If you're into small, Europen-type hotels in the heart of town, the Bristol is for you. It's a 1940s-era building with all the quirks you might anticipate--smallish rooms, limited counter space, etc. However, it also has all the ambience of an inn you might find in Austria--library-like lobby, fireplace, sounds coming in from the street, etc. A handfull of larger rooms are available for familes. If you've had it with Hampton Inns, Holidan Inn Expresses, etc., then the Bristol just might be your cup of tea.

    Cool funky old hotel nicely done up. We had two beds (for some reason it was cheaper than a king) so the layout was quirky but worked out fine. Very nice and friendly staff, in a great location with easy access parking. A little spendy but it is in Steamboat so that should be expected.

    There is no alarm clock in the room. There is one kureg for the whole hotel. The coffee lone in the morning is not worth the wait. my unit was the only one with out cable tv. I was not i formed of this till i asked about it. Hotel staff is not on site past 8pm so if yiu need anything you have to call a security company. Kind if a weird ask for extra towels. It was hard to stay here.

    This hotel is an absolute gem! Not only is it lovely, quaint, and beautifully maintained, but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The customer service was truly above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced – every staff member went out of their way to make sure my stay was perfect. The breakfast snacks were outstanding and a wonderful touch that made the mornings even better. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I will absolutely recommend this hotel to others. I look forward to staying here again the next time I’m in town!

    Adorable hotel right in the center of downtown. The rooms are small but for my husband and I for 3 days it was just fine. The staff is very nice and helpful. They had free bikes available to borrow and a water cooler in the lobby. The water was an unexpected bonus. We were able to easily fill up water bottles and bladders before hikes without having to go buy water. Great hotel, I'd absolutely stay again!

    Very unique old property, my room was actually 2 rooms? Because of a shared shower/bath. One room older but fine, bed good and AC worked great, the other room had a missing tall mirror with all the glue showing the room was warmer. The shared bath shower wasn't very clean! Property in great area for shopping and dining, right next to Harwigs, a great restaurant when open. Some staff great another seemed rude to myself and others. Fees payable at checkin were higher than app had said, they were going to let their manager know. Convenient parking.

    This hotel was dingy and poorly maintained. We were very disappointed. Our room was tiny, with a tiny tv and a tiny bathroom which hadn’t been thorough cleaned in what seemed like years. For more than $300 per night, this is a complete rip off.

    Perfect location. Walking distance to shops, cafes, bookstores, restaurants and the rodeo. Even though it's on a main street, we were facing the parking lot, so we didn't hear the traffic noise. The younger staff member was very eager to be helpful, lending us an iron for our stay. We opted out of housekeeping for our stay which may have been a mistake because my allergies got progressively worse. A daily vaccuuming may have been helpful. I also noticed the hallway carpet seemed like it wasn't vaccuumed daily. There was an older staff member from whom we asked for extra wash cloths and pillowcases. I could tell she was reluctant to get the items for us.

    Nice location. Easy convenient parking along side the building. Short walk to restaurants and shopping as well as to the park and the trail by the river. The room was clean and had all the amenities you would need, but this is an old building and the room was very small. My wife and I and our two full-size dogs were a little squished, but we were only there for one night so it was managable.

    The hotel location was amazing; very central. Additionally, the staff was very friendly and the bed was comfy. The bathroom didn't look like the photos. The shower was tiny and plastic and felt like it was from a cheap hotel. I know Steamboat is expensive but for $300/night I expected more. The bed was also elevated very high, with storage underneath. This made it difficult to get in and out. We didn't use the TV but many cables were hanging from the TV. Didn't look the most presentable.

    The AC in our room wasn’t working & the heat was blasting when we got there. We were able to turn the heat off but it took a while for the room to cool down. We also tried opening the window but it appeared the lock had been broken off, so it took us about 30 min to eventually open the window using the strength of 4 people. We tried calling the after hours telephone number but they said they couldn’t help us, which wasn’t a great experience. If we hadn’t eventually gotten the window open, it would’ve been way too hot to sleep in there. The walls were also super thin so it was quite noisy.

    Location was great because you can walk everywhere in downtown. It didn’t look anything like the pictures. I get it’s an old hotel but pictures threw us off. Small room with no room to move around or set stuff on. Tiny shower. I’m 6’1 and my head was level with shower head. Curtain didn’t work good so water leaked on floor. No vent in bathroom so probably mold in walls.

    In the middle of downtown. Close proximity, walking distance, to many shops, restaurants and Howelsen Hill Ski area. Fresh scones every morning at 8:30. Very outdated. No air conditioning. I’m pregnant and had to open the window every night due to no A/C and how hot it got in the room. Because the hotel is downtown, it stays very loud at all hours of the night making it difficult to sleep with the window open. Hot tub very green the first couple nights.
