The Delaware Hotel

The bed was very nice quality and very comfortable--which is huge for me. I had asked ahead of time for extra pillows, and there were 4 extra waiting on the bed for me. I was already aware that there is no elevator or a/c. We didn't account for the altitude difference from Pueblo and climbing those stairs to the 3rd floor. Got us the first time, but good after that. Since it was mid June, I did NOT expect the room to be that hot without a/c, but it was very uncomfortable. Thank goodness for the small fan left in the room. The afternoon sun pouring into the room is what made it so hot. We closed up the curtains the next day and that helped. I had fun exploring this historic hotel, and staff was extremely friendly. I would definitely stay there again!

I was looking forward to my stay in the Delaware hotel and that it was in a historic building. The staff was very friendly when they were at the front desk, however, had to look for them when I had questions. The room was much smaller than I had anticipated and difficult to navigate with two of us in the room. The bathroom was extremely small with a shower the size of a phone booth. My main complaint about the room was how hot it was. The heater was turned off, yet the room had to be about 80 degrees, even though it was in the 40’s outside that night . When I expressed my concerns regarding how dissatisfied I was and wanted to cancel my 2nd night, I was told I would still be responsible for the 2nd night. Not wanting to spend another uncomfortable night at the hotel, I checked out that morning, a day early.

The Delaware is great!! My girlfriend and I have stayed there many times. Cool historic hotel with great staff and a great bar and restaurant. The only thing that was an issue was the shower in room 203. There was no drain cover so things could just fall down the drain if you accidentally dropped them and the water temperature was extremely erratic. Temp went from hot to cold many times while in the shower. Other than that the place is great!!

So much character in this historic hotel with such a wonderful atmosphere and friendly front desk attendant. We’ll be back one day for our next mountain trip.

All around great

Pros- Grand old hotel with some modern touches. Nice restaurant in lobby. Coms- No elevators and steep, old stairs made bringing bags up and down tough. Not a good choice for anyone with accessibility issues. Shortage of staff at times.
