This is not your steel and plastic holiday inn. It is a step back in time! It is clean, quaint, western inn. Paul, the owner, is a native Antonnian, is very nice, doing whatever he can to make tor stay enjoyable. A nice, small deck area is available. Paul will make a recommendation about restaurants. I would definitely stay there again!!

The Steam Train Hotel is a unique, period hotel which is commiserate with the vibe of Antonito CO. The Four Seasons this is not, but it was clean. All of the fixtures and features of the room worked just fine and security was decent for this small town America location. If you're in town to ride or watch trains, this hotel is a great way to get into the spirit of things.

The breakfast area only had one table seating for three people only. Otherwise, you had to sit on a sofa. There were various options for breakfast in the shared refrigerator/freezer; all was self-catering including making your own coffee maker. The room was too small for a king-size bed and the bathroom floor could have been cleaner (dirt on floor behind the door). The owner was only available via text or phone call (lived off the premises).

The host was very pleasant and nice but the building has seen better days. Electric outlet next to sink broken. Whoever painted the walls got most of the paint on the ceiling. Bad water stains on one ceiling, paint in other areas peeling. I stayed at numerous hotels on a cross country trip and paid more than half as much for much better conditions. I would not go there again.

It was quaint, but only 8 rooms, all on the 2nd floor with no elevator so we needed to climb relatively steep stairs outside to get to the 2nd floor. If anyone is expecting a typicaly motel room , this does not fit the bill.

Decorations are unique and interesting. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast variety was great. Large bathtub was a challenge to get in and out for senior people. Didn't know all rooms required going upstairs with no elevator available.

Old facility that needs some renovation tyat they probably cannot afford. They are waging a lot of water in the toilet with a flapper valve that does not c;ose properly and significant water is leaking dangerously onto the floor as a result of a torn bottom seal on the shower door

Very small hotel, rooms were up stairs. Very limited choices in Antonito but this worked well for our Steam Train plans. The rooms were above the old bank and were formally a brothel to suppler the train workers according to the pizza shop guy. We would stay there again but there are some limitations

Had a really nice time here. There is a lot of character in this small hotel in this really small town. If you are wanting to be in the area for outdoorsing (most likely, I'd guess) it is a nice alternative to camping.

We arrived early and we greeted well. The only thing was there dirty dishes in the sink as this was a suite and could cook. The jetted tub is huge with really no safe way to get in unless you are very young and spry. There needs to be a little step so you can get safely in and out. Other than those 2 things it was marvelous. So cute and comfortable.

Funky Place, Not Bad!

The Steam Train is a funky old place--1911 vintage building rooms with old furniture. Our room had a nice bathroom with a great big old claw foot tub. Perfectly fine place to stay on a budget. Their breakfast room has a generous supply of food in general, and a nice pool table. Access is not good if you have mobility problems, as you must climb a steep outdoor stairway to get to the rooms. We (71 yrs old) had no problem. If you aren't looking for luxury and like funky, you will enjou your stay.

Overall we were happy with our stay. Paul was very nice and made sure he showed us everything pertinent. 2 minor complaints...the air conditioner was noisy, and the shower head, which is huge! And had plenty of water pressure, did not work for my height ( 5'). Like i said...minor
