This was everyone's favorite hotel from our CO trip - a quiet, peaceful spot with a memorable view of the river. We booked the suite at the back of the property and really enjoyed our little patio, especially for morning coffee. Staff was very friendly. Room was comfortable with adequate wifi and a keurig. Breakfast was tasty with something for everyone.

When you stay at the Hand you're steeped in western history. It's a great old town with lots of shops for unique jewelry and works of art. There are no tv's, no phones in the rooms. A big plus in my opinion. And there's hiking, fishing, shopping all in a short walk from the hotel. Even a bear spotted while I was there. Go there for a relaxing stay among friendly staff.

Staff were amazing! Breakfast was so good! It’s a really cute place. Some things to know - it’s rustic. There is no elevator and all the rooms are upstairs. There is no air conditioning and windows open but don’t have screens. But such a nice location and we really enjoyed our stay.
