WOW! Just wow! This place is one of the best boutique hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Great price. Great communication with the hosts, we were arriving late and they made getting in and of our room seamless. Super comfy beds and pillows, and whoever designed these rooms should win an award. Our room had a Marshall amp that had been converted into a fridge! 20 ft ceilings made it it feel more like a loft apartment than a hotel room. And easy walking distance from multiple coffee shops and restaurants, on a very cool Main Street. Don’t waste your time on chain hotels on I-25. Drive the extra 2 minutes, you’ll be really glad you did. Already looking forward to our next stay. Thank you!

I LOVED this place. First off, we came in towards the end of the night and received the best and nicest service. The appearance of the place itself was awesome as well and perfectly decorated for Halloween. The self serve tap was so cool and, my partner and I watched football in the lobby while enjoying our free drink and delicious wings. The room was perfect and you get water and the coolest fridge that looks like a marshall amp. The bed was soft and cozy as well. Highly recommend staying here over any of the chains in town! This place has character, nice staff, and the self pour tap is super great.

A friend and I visited for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay. I had the queen room, which was a nice size, but not much maneuvering space on either side of the bed. Friend's room had ample space everywhere. The young lady who checked us in and ran the taproom was friendly and witty. As this place gets more popular, I'm sure the amenities will increase. Be prepared to have walk stairs to and from your room; and ensure all toiletries are packed, as their are none available in the rooms. We'd stay again due to it's convenient location and awesome staff.

We stayed Sunday night. It was quiet & very comfortable. Clean & safe. Lovely renovated old hotel..they maintained its character, but added an eclectic, artsy feel. Food in taproom was also great.

I absolutely loved this hotel! It still has so much incredible charm, and the renovations beautifully preserved the character of the building. You can really appreciate the history while enjoying updated comforts. I noticed some previous reviews mentioned the stairs, but honestly, they weren’t an issue at all. The beds were incredibly comfortable with high-quality pillows that made for a great night’s sleep. When our entry code stopped working, we texted the number provided and within minutes someone was on the way to fix it — such quick and helpful service! They offer an alcoholic beverage during your stay but we are alcohol free and did not take advantage of this. I’m honestly shocked at how reasonably they’re pricing the rooms for the quality, charm, and service you receive. It felt like an incredible value for such a unique and comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this stay for families as well. And don’t forget — there’s a book in the room you have to open!

This place is a total gem. If you're tired of cookie-cutter hotels, this spot is a breath of fresh air. The room offered a unique boutique feel right in the heart of downtown, but the kind and helpful staff really made the stay special. Don't skip the restaurant! The lamb gyro and green chili sandwiches were phenomenal, and the pour-your-own beer & cocktail station is such a fun touch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a stay with character and great eats!

This place is worth the stop in Trinidad and a far better and more interesting experience than staying at a chain hotel (and no real difference in price). Front desk actually knows things about this historic property. They've kept it historic while investing in useful things to your experience (like coded keypads rather than cards or apps; like beer you can pour yourself; like tastefully lit rooms included lighted mirrors). Staff are pleasant and helpful, including with recommendations around town. Glad I found The Well and next time I pass through, I'll stay here again!

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The room was comfortable, the vibe was great, and we had fun spending the evening downstairs in The Taproom. Highly recommended. A couple of notes for future guests: there are a fair number of stairs, and the space stays lively until the Taproom closes. Neither of these affected our experience, but they may matter for some travelers. Overall, we’d happily stay again.
