Dont
I was surprised, given the positive reviews on Google, Just how shabby and worn out. This place is I was also expecting just a little more overall, but it is obviously a very old and historic hotel. That doesn't look like it's gone through much modern upkeep. The rooms are freezing and do not have a thermostat in them. And the beds are very old and hard, and there's not much privacy to the rooms overall, really.

Loved the old time ambiance that the hotel provides due to its history from the 1800s. Very well maintained without losing the old classic feel. Great homemade breakfast.

Fun little place. History all around you.
Very cute vintage hotel in a small Colorado town. Reasonable price as well
This place was so fun! All the rooms have a theme and the service was very attentive upon check in. You do need to get there by 7pm because they lock the lobby after that, but it was cute as a button and very relaxing. Any time we come to Fairplay, we will stay here.

The hotel was quaint and not particularly updated and that was its charm. It sits in a one road down town area with a few cute shops and a couple places to eat and drink. The proprietor, Kat, was lovely and remembered my name through the evening and was very accommodating. If you are looking for a rustic mountain hotel, this is your place.

We had a very pleasant stay. The room is in antique setup, but met our expectation. The breakfast was really good, really enjoy there. If are looking for TV etc. , this is not for you.

What a wonderful b&b. The staff, the breakfast spread, the bed…. So good! The hotel is old and with that comes history, ghosts, old things as decorations. It was a great stay.
