I was extremely impressed by the great hospitality and historic nature of the St. Nicholas. Susan is a great hostess and shared many great stories about the B&B and its former life as a Hospital during the gold mining heyday. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and I was in easy walking distance (two blocks) from the downtown area. I'll definitely be returning and recommend the St. Nicholas to anyone!

I wish I could linger longer at this enchanting hotel in the mountains. The hotel is situated above and overlooking most of the rest of town, so one is afforded an almost bird's eye view of this venerable mining/gambling/saloon town of the Old West. The Hotel St. Nicholas provides clean and elegant rooms that capture some of the spirit of more exciting times. Rooms are comfortable and tastefully appointed. The owner and employees are always friendly and helpful. There is a cozy western bar in the hotel. The steam heat is comforting in many ways and I feel very much at home here. Sometimes I think I may be somewhat of a time traveler.

My husband and I wanted to get away from the Hot Texas heat so we picked Colorado and the St. Nicholas as our destinatiion. The hotel was more than we expected. We loved the charm and the little touches we sometimes forget about. Susan was very nice and we never had to ask for a thing, the room was clean and fresh and we so enjoyed the view from the sunroom. Did we encounter the ghost? Maybe who knows! The floors did squeak but that was part of the charm of the aged building.. Loved the hotel and would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a break from the usual chain hotels.

I called last minute hoping they had anything available for Labor Day weekend and it turned out they did. I was told over the phone that they had a small queen room left with a private bath. My husband and I didn't care how small the room is, we just wanted a weekend away, and after all, I'm calling hotels in Cripple Creek. These are more like Inns, not hotels. We were thrilled when we arrived, turns out the hotel is an old hospital from the 1800's that has been refurbished into this beautiful Inn. Creaky floors, original vents, gorgeous crown molding. The staff was great, exactly what I would have expected. Personable and homey. And our room was comfortable and quite cozy, just like what I was told. We will be back, and I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone that isn't expecting a Hilton. I would also recommend a stay at this place for anyone interested in ghost hunting...
