The Bristol Hotel

The Bristol Hotel is centrally located, but not an “intimate boutique” hotel or 3 star hotel as outlined on Trip Advisor. It is an average older, two star inn with over priced rooms. The bed was comfortable, but the Gold Medal Suite was noisy and adjacent to the indoor hot tub and Main Street. The $439 per night price was exceptionally high based upon the room and services. Read the fine print and be aware of the addition processing fee, $28.72; daily LMD Fee, $7.36 and daily Resort Fee, $13.47. This small, older hotel is definitely not a resort and I am not sure what a “LMD” fee is. I would not recommend this hotel based upon over priced room rates and excessive fees.

The place was very clean. The rooms are small. We got the room with a living room. There are two toilets and two sinks and that was convenient, however, the layout is a little odd. You have to go through the bathrooms to get to the living room, or use the other door from the hallway.

Great location - can walk to food, shopping, easy drive to hiking. The rooms are quite small, but nice ambience. The bathrooms are even smaller. Comfortable common lobby for coffee, sitting, reading. We'd stay again. Mozzolo's is right next door. Pretty good pizza - half price for happy hour. And Backstreet Hamburgers a short walk - also very good hamburgers and salads.

What an experience! We had a chance to drive to SS to view the colors via SR 14. Staying at the Bristol was a special part of our getaway, with sufficient on-site parking and a superior downtown location on the main thoroughfare. A bonus --walking distance from well-reviewed restaurants! Tammy hosts you with playful banter! This is a hotel with historic mid-century quaintness-- i.e., snug dimensions. The central lounge was pleasant with self-serve hot/cold beverages/ morning pastries/ afternoon cookies/ local paper/ library. We'll be back!

The location of this hotel can't be beat if you are planning on staying downtown. An easy walk to all things downtown. The room that we had was fairly large, the bed was comfortable and the staff was wonderful. The downside...it was HOT!! They had a split unit in the room, but it did not cool the room down. We ended up getting a fan and opening the windows at night and that helped, however there are not screens on the windows and the bugs made themselves at home in the room. If you stay here be prepared to bake during the day in the summer, and if you need to open the windows you need to sleep in repellant.

The location in town is 5*! The hotel staff are so friendly and accommodating. The people you meet make this a cozy and warm experience. The light breakfast was a bonus. Coffee/ tea and water always there for you was so appreciated. This is a bare bone accommodation. They would have a gold mine with some major upgrading! But a place to hang your hat n good night's rest. This is it.

Quaint hotel, rooms small as is the bathroom … charming, walk to free shuttle, dinner, happy hours … loved the experience and would recommend. I stayed earlier in the week at condos near the slopes, actually found this more enjoyable and convenient.

Wonderful historic hotel conveniently located in downtown Steamboat Springs. Parking is provided adjacent to the hotel at no charge. Rooms are lovely and quiet with comfortable beds. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I loved staying at the Bristol because it was steps from everywhere you want to be in downtown Steamboat. It was also very clean and well-kept for an old hotel. They clearly added modern touches. Two more things: the coffee was fantastic for a hotel - strong and delicious! and, the daily home-made pastries were amazing. I drooled over the mini croissants. So why 4 stars out of 5? I suppose I could have given them 5, but my very little room came with a 3'x3' shower. And even I, who am tiny, was squished. But, overall, it was a great experience.
