The Forest Queen Hotel

A last minute over-night stay in CB. Couldn't have been an easier process with a great staff located at a sweet bar & grill directly downstairs. Old-school awesome! Keep in mind... it's SUPER OLD. So dont expect new and flashy.

Close to town, but shared bathroom was not cleaned. No mattress pad, fitted sheets too small and came off.

This hotel is situated in the heart of Crested Butte and is a wonderful piece of history. My room was over the bar and restaurant, but I was never bothered by any loud noises. My room was clean and the bedding and towels looked new. The furnishings and decor were a bit dated, but over all the room was comfortable. With the nights, being cold - the radiant heat was nice, but during the day it was hot and the control for the heat was in another room... making the afternoons uncomfortable. If you like vintage and historic, this is your place.

only suggestion is COFFEE served in their little alcove. that was brutal to wake up and no coffee.

Enjoy it for the experience. Don't over critic it or you won't enjoy it. Great restaurant on site with wonderful patio next to creek and overwhelming views.

Lol, where to begin. The Forest Queen Hotel is located on Elk Aveenus, the main thoroughfare of old Crested Butte. The hotel dates from 1881 and is above a saloon & restaurant. There is no front desk, you check in with the staff at the bar. The stairs to the rooms are a bit tilted, old buildings in Colorado shift over time, and the carpet is, well, dirty. Once upstairs your room is one of seven or so that share a single bathroom, just like 1881. My first two-night stay I got a room with two small single beds. The second stay I got a nicer room (for less) with a queen bed. I had no issues with the shared bath, which might put some folks off, however, the shower is one that won;t stay regulated and may shift from perfect to ice cold or scalding hot in an instant. There is no dedicated parking area for the hotel, you just find a spot on a side street nearby. This is not for you if you have security concerns about your vehicle. You can unload your things in front. Once you're checked in, you're set to enjoy all that old Crested Butte has to offer. The place may be a bit run down and "worn in like an old pair of boots", but I got three of the best nights sleep I've enjoyed in ages. Recommend to "seasoned, flexible and adventurous" travellers. If you need squeaky clean, sparkling new, look elsewhere.

You will share a bathroom with everyone staying at the hotel. A one room toilet and shower right next to each other. They managed to not even keep it stocked with paper towels for drying hands. The room is tiny and smelled like clothes that were left in the washer for a week. The staff is nice. The internet constantly interrupts your connection and asks you to enter information and take surveys. Overall a cruddy value. It is better to camp and bathe in the river.

Very nice setting in the heart of down town but very small and rustic

Small and a bit dated but reasonably priced rooms, right in the middle of town, walking distance to everywhere, great breakfast buffet, sweet patio right by the creek, comfy bed, and views of Mount Crested Butte from our room. Dave, the owner, is a great guy, loved sitting at the hotel bar until late night chatting with him and the other patrons. Would definitely stay there again.

Killed it. Great price, great rooms.
