    It was just what I needed as a solo traveler!

    I loved the location! I was off the main road but faced the small town so you could see everything going on. It was very easy to access without having to deal with going in to "check in". They just text you with your room number and code to the door. There was a laundry facility a block away on the same side of the street which was so simple. I just popped my clothes in and set a timer to come back so I was able to walk around town. In the early morning hours, before the sun comes up, I went outside and couldn't BELIEVE I was in a small town with other people there because of how quiet and still everything was. I went the first week in September and missed the summer crowds. It was fabulous.

    The stairs to get up were challenging for us and even younger people struggled getting luggage up. Parking was tough, The restaurant let us park our car and trailer in their parking lot.

    For Silverton it is decent and great location. We had 2 queen beds but room is very small.

    There is no breakfast in the hotel. During the winter season, think about the breakfast before arrival because all of the restaurants around are not open every day, so better be prepared.

    Nicely located historical building.

    Really bummed that only the two front rooms have the balcony. Had I known that I would have gotten on of these specifically.

    We loved the location and the restaurant downstairs is hands down the best Mexican restaurant we have ever been too.

    Nothing wrong with this place, but Silverton is a bit of a ghost town this time of year so there wasn't much around.

    We were breaking up the trip between Montrose and Purgatory, so Silverton was the right spot. Self check-in and a block off the main street made this easy.

    Walls let some noise through--this wasn't a big deal though because there was no noise after 10:30pm

    Walls are a bit thin--I could hear neighbors, luckily everyone went to bed on time.

    Great spot and a nice little room. A great place to stay if coming back from the wilderness. Efficient check-in was great. Shower is glorious--I might stay here again after hiking the CT solely because of the shower.

    I was in Room #6 that overlooked the restaurant outdoor seating area. This made for some loud evenings and hard to get to bed early before people finally called it a night.

    I loved the location and the El Bandito restaurant below the rooms.

    The price was too high for the room and amenities. The room would benefit from some basics like hooks, surface space and a chair or two. Despite calling before our trip, parking instructions were a little vague for an oversized vehicle.

    The room was basic but comfortable and very clean. The aromatherapy bath products were a nice touch. We received text instructions with a door code prior to arrival so we never interacted with any staff. We were in a side room so there was a mountain view over the parking lot. The front room had a balcony on the street side which would be nice. The town is a step back in time and the surrounding area beautiful.

    So, just a couple of things. There was a coffee maker but no sugar at all (except sweet n low) and only two half and half containers (I take 3 just for one cup of coffee) so my partner and I could only have one each. No other creamers either (the dry kind). Only one face towel for two persons. Most of the time you had to enter the door code at least twice and sometimes more than that to get the door to open. I realize the building must be very old but still, the creaking of the floor when somebody walked in the room adjacent to ours or when we were walking in our room was very disturbing. The other room got up around 6 a.m. and the loud creaking woke us up much earlier than we wanted.

    The room itself was very nice and comfortable. The value was very reasonable. The location was excellent. Loved the balcony!

    No individual control of heat in the room. You should tell people that the door does not automatically lock. Most hotel doors do. Rooms small but fine for just me.

    Rooms nice and clean. Nice decorations and bathroom nice. Like the Starbucks coffee.
