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.

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.

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

Loved it! So affordable, fantastic views, spotted a moose, walked the streets with a coffee in hand taking in the glory of the old west, parking was a breeze, fantastic thrift store shopping, a nearby hike along beaver creek that IS appropriately named (you’ll spot a beaver), don’t bother eating at Otto’s (over priced, music’s too loud), will say the coffee could be stronger at the Hand BUT the rest of breakfast was tasty and well attended to. The charm of the building alone takes you back to grandma’s house. But seriously, The Hand Bed and Breakfast was magical. Book it if you can.

The hotel was quaint and not particularly updated and that was its charm. It sits in a one road down town area with a few cute shops and a couple places to eat and drink. The proprietor, Kat, was lovely and remembered my name through the evening and was very accommodating. If you are looking for a rustic mountain hotel, this is your place.

My husband, daughter, and I stayed in suite 3 with a full sized bed and a bunkbed. It was great for the 3 of us. A nice sitting area right outside the room. Breakfast was great. Shower was great. Didn’t have time to shop in their stores, definitely will be back.

My one reason for not giving my stay a five star is that the breakfast (for a bed and breakfast) was not up to what I expected.
