Nice stay
Stayed one night after a day of hiking. Hotel has a rich history dating back to the late 1800’s, so I could really appreciate the efforts taken to preserve the authenticity of the building. Room was clean, beds were comfortable and enjoyed the stay. Owner was very nice and accommodating, and really enjoyed our conversation about the hotel. It is within walking distance to Main Street to access casinos and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

Quiet Gem Perched Above Cripple Creek
Loved Room 16! Quiet and a great view! Staff was friendly and engaging. They answered all of our questions and made our stay super easy and comfortable. Hotel is 125 + years old so has the usual creaks and bumping of pipes and still absolutely delightful. All we needed was a ghost appearance for perfection. Will stay again!

This was our second year staying at this property for NYE, check in was smooth, the rooms are so charming and the staff super friendly. They had snacks in the bar on NYE and the continental breakfast has a fair number of options.

Exquisite comfort
We had such a lovely and memorable vacation weekend in Cripple Creek, and it was all thanks to the incredible hospitality of the owners and staff at Hotel St. Nicholas. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The hotel is a beautiful blend of history and comfort—each room thoughtfully renovated to reflect the charm of its past while offering all the modern touches you need for a relaxing stay.
The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, which made it the perfect place for us to unwind, read, and truly relax. The owners were not only gracious hosts but genuinely kind people who went out of their way to make sure our stay was special. Their warmth and attention to detail created an experience we won’t forget.
Thank you for giving us such a peaceful, restorative weekend. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
