We had such an amazing stay at this historic hotel in downtown Leadville. The staff was so kind and helpful. The hotel was exactly what we expected. If you are looking for charming and historical with a dash of a friendly staff, this is the perfect place!

Lovely historic property, but way too expensive (around $300/night) for the experience. Part of the charm is the squeaky floors, steep staircase and no elevator, but the King room was cramped, bathroom was tiny, sink was cracked, carpet was dirty, and parking was two blocks away. The staff was seemed kind of bothered about being there. I’d consider staying again but at maybe at a third of the price.

The hotel is charming and has a unique vibe, considering it is 140 yr old. I loved the details and the attempt to keep it vintage. My main source of discomfort was the bed. The floors are uneven, which I understand, but it doesn't mean that the bed shouldn't be level. It was hard to sleep with the inciine. We had to place some towels under the legs to make it level.

Great location if you’re staying in Leadville. Probably the lowest quality $300/night I’ve spent on a hotel outside of NYC. But prob worth it if you need to stay inside Leadville itself.

Everything was as advertised. The rooms and hallways are very historic. They told us they don't have an elevator so if you're not up for it rent second level rather than third. We were told parking might be a problem, but it wasn't for us. They have a parking lot which you can see from your room. The restaurant had great food for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. We would recommend this stay for those interested in the local history of Leadville.

We really enjoyed this historic hotel. Be prepared for some stairs as there is no elevator and you may be out of breath if you aren't accustomed to the elevation (we came from sea level!) But it is worth it! The hotel is right in the center of town and very convenient to shopping, restaurants, the train station, the mineral belt biking trail, etc. We parked our car and then just walked (or biked) everywhere! The staff was very helpful and the restaurant was great.

This is a great historic hotel, just keep that in mind during your stay. Much of the rooms doorframes and other hardware is kept as genuine as possible, sometimes to minor detriment. A prime example is that the main door to our room had a gap in it through which two people could easily see each other. It's not great, but that's how the original doorway was put in.

We absolutely loved our stay and the staff were amazing! All of the foibles added to the charm of staying at such a historic location for us.

We were in Leadville for the winter train and figured that if we stayed here we won’t have to get up so early. It’s very short distance from the train station. The hotel is nice and very historic. We love the old look and the bar downstairs is awesome. However, due to the preservation of the hotel, there is no elevator so don’t come with lots of stuff. Only bring what you need. Otherwise, you might have a hard time going up the stairs. Another thing is the hotel is known for its haunted stories if you do not like paranormal activities then don’t stay here. You may not be able to sleep. There are several rooms that are known to be haunted per the hotel staff. The hotel provided the list of rooms that are haunted to the guests. I think it would’ve been better if we didn’t know anything about any of these rooms because we were so paranoid about these rooms after knowing about them. Our room was right next to one of the rooms that it’s haunted. Nothing happened, but we were not able to sleep all night long because we were so worried and paranoid that something is gonna happen. Overall the cleanliness and the service were great. After all I love the hotel I would recommend to those who don’t mind paranormal activity but I feel like it is not for us and i am not sure if I will be staying here again. Might stop by the restaurant and the bar down stairs though.

Our stay was negatively impacted by repeated poor customer service from the bar hostess. On our first day, we specifically asked the receptionist whether we could bring our own drinks to the sitting area, and we were told that it was allowed. Based on that information, we felt comfortable doing so during our stay.

By our third day, she began putting up signs and continued to harass us, stating, “This is the last time I will tell you,” even though we had already explained that we were acting based on guidance from the front desk. What made this especially uncomfortable was that we felt singled out, and the repeated confrontations came across as targeted and discriminatory, raising serious concerns about possible racial bias.

Clear communication between staff and respectful treatment of guests are essential. Unfortunately, this ongoing behavior overshadowed our experience and reflects poorly on the hotel’s customer service standards. I hope management addresses both the inconsistency in policy communication and the lack of professionalism shown.

The overall impression is mixed. The staff is friendly. Our room was on the second floor. The floors are squeaky. When neighbors turn on the water, there’s a lot of noise and whistling. The room itself is small, but it’s okay if you’re tired. There’s no refrigerator or microwave. The mattress is comfortable, but the pillows are not — it would be better to have fewer pillows of higher quality.

There are also very few outlets near the bed, and they give a slight electric shock. The thermostat works strangely — no matter what temperature you set, nothing really changes. Parking is a separate issue — it’s almost impossible to find a spot.

The gentlemen that checked me in didn't hesitate to help me with my luggage to the 3rd floor (no elevators and very steep stairs). The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were even more awesome than the bed. Walls are thin, but didnt have any issues with other guests getting quiet at a reasonable time. The showers are really small so hard to maneuver in them and the water will got extremely hot multiple times out of now where, but goes back to norm pretty quickly each time. 4 outta 5

The shower has lots of really hot water and great water pressure. The rooms were quiet, the food was delicious. Walking distance to the Leadville train, shops, restaurants, and bars. What an unexpected treat! Ask the for a print out of all the haunted rooms! Cannot recommend this hotel enough. We loved everything about it. It was so clean and perfect. Be aware, there are no elevators. They do intend to add them next summer. I wouldn’t recommend for mobility limited guests.

The hotel’s restoration is beautiful and the touches in each room make it a much more special stay than you can find at a typical hotel.

This was the worst hotel stay we have ever had. We’re both in our 70’s and travel quite a bit around the country and average about 20 hotel/motel stays each year. This stay at the Delaware was a new low for us, especially for costing upwards of $200 for the night.

First we were not told that the room was on the 3rd floor with extremely steep stairs and no elevator. We did make it up with our luggage though. We flipped the light switch just inside the door and the ceiling light came on to a barely noticeable flicker. We stepped into the room and both nearly fell because the floor is sloped sideways like the side of a mountain. Fortunately there were some lamps that worked so we had enough light to get by.

The bathroom door would not close enough to latch and remained partly open. There is no sink in the bathroom. It’s in the big room about 2 feet away from the side of the bed.

Then we couldn’t watch TV because we couldn’t get it to turn on.

The shower is so small that it’s hard to turn around without pushing the shower curtain outside the threshold. I bumped into the liquid soap dispenser on the opposite wall of the shower while turning around and it fell off and lit on my toes. They’re sore but okay.

There were two good things about the room. It had a nice king-sized bed and the shower put out a good strong flow of instant hot water.

We mentioned to the desk clerk this
morning how awful our stay was. She said the manager may call but of course. No one did. Beware!
