The staff is excellent and the decor is perfect for the historic house. The breakfast was not included. The first bed and breakfast I’ve been to where there was a charge for breakfast. The mattress was very uncomfortable and old.

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.

Best EVER

Hotel Hand is by far the best little hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff are friendly, kind, and accommodating. I feel like these types of places are a dying breed, which is too bad. I want to plan another trip just so I can stay here again!

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.

I am obsessed, this place is so gorgeous. It's gonna be my new spot for a peaceful getaway from the city, I love the town too, it's tiny and walkable and everyone is so knowledgeable and walking along or just chilling by the river is gorgeous, the sunroom at this place is just a dream, the rooms are unique, all the staff I met are super sweet, the breakfast is bomb, dog friendly AF and the history of the hotel and the whole town is just so cool 👻 i'm so blessed to have found this place it's magical

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.
