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.

The hotel is 80 yrs old having said that the rooms are tiny, the wall paper is pealing off the walls. I got locked out of my room from the bathroom and had to walk in the hall in a towel to get back in my room. The fire alarm went off in my room while i was not in the room. When i came back it was loud and took 15 min to turn off...no fire btw. 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.

Great location. Quaint and historical. Hot tub cooler than bath water.Tacked on 20 bucks at check in for parking! Tout scones and coffee in the morning. No scones so far. We like the Bristol but think it’s a little over priced these days.

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!
