Reading other reviews I’m not sure what folks expect or if they realize the effects of altitude.
The Delaware is a quirky old hotel with loads of charm in an historic mining town. It is clearly getting a lot of love and attention from its current owners/caretakers.
We walked everywhere and loved being right on the Main Street. We did not find our room or date of stay to be loud at all.
But yes, the floors are wonky in places, our bathroom was small (but in the room!), and the room would probably be quite warm in the summer.
We tossed and turned all night - that wasn’t the bed - it was the altitude.
Staff was wonderful - the hotel bar perfection!
I needed an iron, asked, and received.
Things to be aware of:
1. No elevator. 10,000 altitude. Steeper than modern stairs.
2. No coffee/microwave in the room - coffee in the hall and it was very good!
3. Read the list of amenities - bring a hair dryer!
4. Ghosts.
5. This is Leadville, Colorado - not an urban center. I wouldn’t compare it to a boutique hotel in downtown Seattle or a renovated historic property like the Empress in Victoria.
