This was a very interesting tour of a beautiful hotel ! I really enjoyed the stories and pictures from the Mini Series "The Shining" I would recommend this tour to people who want to see if they can spot a ghost - and those who just want to tour a beautiful turn of the century hotel that is still used... more

Kevin (I think) was our guide. He had a fun, dry, sarcastic type of humor that made us all laugh. My mom, being of the gullible type, provided him much material on the tour. We didn't really know much about the Stanley hotel or the Stanley's, for that matter, before the tour. The history of the famous family (Stanley steam... more

every thing they talked about was in the brochure! long boring and you didnt get to see anything. just standing around the hallways listening to the guide talk. we kept expecting them to open a door and let us see something... NOPE! save yourself the money and time and just get the brochure! NEVER AGAIN! this hotel should be ashamed... more

The tour is interesting, learning about the history and some of the stories about the Stanley Hotel. The tour was reasonable in price but to stay at the Stanley Hotel does not live up to what it charges for everything. The waiting time at the restaurant was unreasonable, the food is not special, service was bad, and the prices are... more

Great tour

Booked a spot for a 1:30 time slot for the ghost tour of the Stanley Hotel. We arrived 15 minutes early when told to arrive 10 minutes early. The tour director told us they had lost our appointment or there was a miscommunication and told us she would have to put us on the 2:00 tour instead and told us... more

Did the $10 Stanley Hotel Ghost/ History tour during the offseason. This was a fun/ good little tour. Mostly history of the hotel and the grounds but we actually got to go into some of the rooms (since no one was staying there). Room 408 the most haunted room in the building and 217 the "presidential suitte" (where Stephen King... more

I'm a "tour" junkie and have been wanting to do this tour for a long time now. So when a friend came into town we planned to do this - though I did not plan ahead and all the tours were full for 2 days. However once inside my friend inquired if there was any way possible for us to... more

My husband and I did not stay at the Stanley Hotel. We were told by friends to make sure to take the "ghost tour." So we did. It was not at all what I was expecting. The hotel really, I think, abuses The Shining connection. And some of the "stories" the tour guide told were completely unbelievable, I thought. Especially... more

This hour and a half tour was a fun way to see a historic hotel in a beautiful location. Our tour guide was entertaining and personable and kept our kids ages 9 to 15 involved. Although it was a 'history' tour, the tidbits and ghost legends included made for a fun outing. To add to the fun, rent "The Shining"... more
