My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and we will definitely be returning! We took the Amtrak from Denver (a beautiful 6 hr trip) and arrived in the afternoon. The hotel is steps away from the train station and SO many cute shops and places to eat. From the second we walked in we felt welcomed by the staff. Every person who was at the front desk was extremely helpful and gave us good tips! They told us about a ride service where you can travel anywhere within the city limits for $2. The only downside of it is that when you call a ride it isn't always guaranteed to arrive right away. But if you aren't in a rush, it's great! Using this service we visited Iron Mountain Hot Springs and Cavern Adventure Park. A couple days after coming home I realized I had left my AirPods at the hotel! I called them in a panic, but was quickly relieved when they told me they had found them and they were in the lost and found. I'm glad they were honest because some people would've just kept the air pods! All in all we had a great time! Tip 1- For those who complained about the noise in the rooms, that feels inevitable with most hotels these days. You can buy a cheap portable noise machine and that takes care of any noise from the hallway or nearby rooms. I take mine every time I travel. Tip 2- There aren't microwaves in the rooms but if you ask they will let you use the microwave in their staff room! read more

VERY strong pet smell in the room and hotel lobby area. Limited staff to provide housekeeping services - rooms cleaned every 3 days unless specifically requested and no housekeeping staff later in the day to easily bring items such as towels etc. Location is great though in the middle of town with views of the mountains, and an hour from Aspen. Coffee shop has great breakfast options - def try the empanadas! read more

Oh my gosh, we were looking for a last-minute getaway to Glenwood Springs on a Friday night. We were traveling with some good friends and we noticed they had a two bedroom suite which was super reasonable on the third floor... First of all booking was incredibly easy... The price was just right... Helpful tip....book on their site it's cheaper!!! right in hot spot.... right next to the train stop, there's a bridge right there over to the pool, and so many lounges and restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance... It was just perfect Now let me talk about the room. It was adorable... It suited us just fine. not only did we each have our own bedroom. We each had our own bathroom and there was a nice pocket door for privacy... It was perfect and the lobby oh my gosh we had coffee from the coffee shop and enjoyed it right next to the fire place in the lobby... We will totally be back. It was just a wonderful stay.... you can also get a special deal at the hotel for the Hot Springs pool and also for the others springs... Another helpful tip. Oh, and I forgot to mention the people at the front desk were wonderful.. so helpful... read more

Hotel Maxwell Anderson - Lobby from the 3rd floor - Hotels Near Me - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

We were placed in a room that did not have a view. Instead of looking out at the air conditioner, unit and ceiling on the second floor, they placed a "stained glass "window to mask that. That was appreciated and nice, but the room was small and felt claustrophobic. The sink had zero counter space to place your items such as makeup, toothpaste, etc. I would've liked to have more space for toiletries. The bed was not very comfortable as it creaked and the mattress was lumpy. We are not oversized people so that kind of surprised us for the price we paid. The walls and floors are thin. On the second floor we heard everything including someone's barking dog! Sometimes we thought we heard thunder but as we could not see outside of the window we didn't know for sure. The room felt like an interior cabin on a cruise ship - claustrophobic. We did appreciate the good air-conditioning, and the comfortable robes which were complementary to use while there. The room was decorated nicely and the decor was modern and updated. The building is conveniently located to all things you will need while there. I would stay here again, but I would like to have a room that was a little more comfortable. read more

Hotel Maxwell Anderson - Lobby - Hotels Near Me - Glenwood Springs, Colorado

We stayed here last night, just for one night. I called ahead about parking, and wondering where to park, and the front desk person told us to park out front and check in, and he would explain the parking to us when we arrived. When we checked in, there was a bit of back and forth on the room - he had us on the 4th floor, but the elevator only goes to the 3rd floor, and something or other about walking up stairs (hard pas with luggage at 9:30pm). Then he offered to put us in the third floor, but may not have had a room, so he offered us a room on the first floor. I know others have complained about noise in previous reviews, but we were tucked around the corner, and while next to the street, didn't hear any noise. Bed is reasonably comfortable, as are the pillows, but certainly nothing over the top. The room itself was pretty spacious, with a couch/table area that was nice. The lobby area is nice - they kept some of the old world charm, while updating it. I will say, we stayed here pre-renovation, and the room we stayed in had a bit of a funky bathroom, and a fun four poster bed. For me, I liked the four poster bed a lot better. As others have said, best thing about this hotel is the location, and the price for the night was really good/very affordable. read more

The good thing about this hotel is the location. It's near so many restaurants that you can walk to easily. If you're into coffee there is a coffee shop connected to the lobby. Plus a brew pub called Glenwood Canyon Brew Pub that is also connected to the hotel lobby. If you're in town for the Glenwood adventure park or Iron mountain Hot springs they have discounted tickets available at the hotel front desk and online when you are booking a reservation. The parking is somewhat difficult but not impossible to find a spot to stay overnight. Most spots are 2 hour 9am-6pm spots. After 6 they're free for all for overnight parking. We came on a Friday and we were able to find parking everytime for our 2 night stay. If you're unlucky the hotel does offer paid parking. The walls are fairly thin and yes its true, you can hear mighty footsteps and rolling carts fly by through the door. My boyfriend once thought it was so loud he thought someone was about to come into the room. We stayed in the King bed suite. It was a decent size had a small closet to hang clothes, lots of drawers and very minimal space in the bathroom! You get your complimentary sample size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, a bar soap, 2 makeup wipes and lotion. *BONUS* you get two very nice robes to use (for no extra charge) hiding in the closet during your stay. Which we chose to use at the Hot springs! The bed- it was decently comfortable I would give it a 5/10. The pillows a 1/10. The pillows are extremely thin and poofy. If you live in colorado and coming to visit I'd suggest to bring your own pillow if you can! Others mentioned that the AC was extremely loud and I did not experience this at all in our room. It was easy to adjust the temp to our liking and no loud sounds. In conclusion, my partner and I stayed for 2 nights and thats the max that I would stay at this hotel. It was a cool historical experience but next time I will be staying at a different hotel. Staff was nice and friendly and helpful. Although renovated, the space in the bathroom lacked and the beds and pillows weren't up to my expectations, especially for what was paid. read more

Wonderful feels like new in a perfect location boutique hotel! I have been visiting Glenwood Springs my entire life and always stayed the Hotel Colorado as my great great grandfather's company were the carpenters contracted to build the hotel. This time, with a family of my own we wanted something with more space, newer and closer to restaurants, etc. We made an excellent choice! One of the best hotels we've ever stayed in through our travels worldwide! Great amenities, easy parking, amazing space. We will return!!! read more

A few months ago, we decided to do a little staycation to celebrate my other half's birthday -- and after going back and forth between a few options in the area, I'm SO glad we chose Hotel Maxwell Anderson for our getaway! This was our first time staying here, and honestly? From the moment we walked in, I was obsessed with the interior design and decor. It's stylish, cozy, and gives off that boutique mountain town charm -- but with a modern twist. Prices in this area can be very steep (hello, mountain town tourism), but this hotel felt fairly priced for what you get. There are a few little stores inside, plus a coffee shop -- which was perfect for grabbing a latte before heading out. Location-wise? 10/10. You're walking distance to basically everything: great restaurants, bars, local shops, and even the water. No need to Uber around. Oh, and yes -- there's a parking garage, which is a huge bonus if you're driving in. If you're planning a weekend escape, birthday surprise, or just want to explore the area without sacrificing style and convenience, this place is 100% worth checking out. read more

The staff were kind and the hotel was perfectly central to everything. It looks cute unfortunately there are some major flaws to staying here and seems the cut some ends on making it a great stay. The tub is small, had no water pressure and you had to stand against the wall to get under the water. The walls are paper thin. We could here the people next to us talking on the phone, not yelling just talking. You can hear the hall ways and the TVs. You hear people in their rooms as you walk the halls too. There is zero privacy. The A/C and heat were LOUD. Like turn up the TV to 90 volume and still can't hear it over the A/C, this was the only thing drowning out the neighbors. It also made sleeping hard as it was loud enough to wake me up every hour or so when it kicked on at night. Last, we were there for three nights and maid service did not come in once. We had to get our own fresh towels the third day after finding maid service on another floor. While staff were kind and location is convenient, I would look somewhere else next time I'm in town. read more

Absolutely love this hotel! So welcoming and beautiful when you enter and the rooms are super spacious and comfy! Perfect location right downtown--walking distance to everything including Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. I love that they have a restaurant and coffee shop attached to the hotel! Parking isn't great and should be offered in the booking vs a $20 separate fee. read more

The Hotel Maxwell Anderson used to be known as the Hotel Denver. I don't know the history of the name change, but there's still signage on the building that declares the old name. This building is historic and absolutely stunning. The decor in the lobby area is 1920's glam and makes me wish I was dressed in a fancy cocktail dress rather than my tourist wardrobe of sneakers and shorts. I half expect a scene from a movie to unfold in front of me at any time-it's that glamorous. The room I stayed in was very comfortable and spacious. The bed was cozy and we had all the basic necessities with the exception of tissues or a microwave. It's weird that there was a fridge, but no microwave. The location is perfect for those arriving by train, like we did. They are pretty strict with their check-in time, we were not able to get into our room early and noticed that other people were turned away too. They must stay pretty busy and need all that time to get rooms turned over between guests. There are a couple restaurant/coffee shops onsite, but no free breakfast. There are also lots of options nearby within walking distance. read more

Hands down the nicest, classiest, cleanest hotel in Glenwood Springs, and perfectly located. Parking is available next to the hotel, in two gate controlled lots, and you can walk to all the restaurants, for both breakfast and dinner. It's also a short drive to both hot springs: Iron Mountain and the classic Glenwood pool, across the highway. I will say I'm biased, as I grew up coming to the hotel when it was called Hotel Denver, until recently, and they've continuously renovated and improved it. read more

Great location, tastefully renovated hotel, friendly staff. No housekeeping over three night stay. No closet or bar for coat-hangers. 3 coat hooks by the front door. We were continually stumbling over open suitcases on the floor. Huge chest of drawers, though. read more

Hmmmmm...I got a little caught off guard with this one. TripAdvisor has this hotel as a 4.5 star. Very different on Yelp. Needless to say - I agree with Yelp. Why you ask? 1) Check in. First, it took 40 min. Only one of the terminal was working. Then when the system came up - the dude that checked us in was super high. Kept repeating himself, laughing. Great. 2) When we got to our room we were transferred to the hotel "annex" - specifically room 101. That room sits right on the corner of a busy intersection with windows all around. With a bar 20 feet from the window. 3) So - back to the lobby to ask for a new room. Front desk says no. I ask for the manager. It's about to get good - same high desk guy is over the managers shoulder. He says "you can't move that room". Manager says "I'm the boss. I'm in charge here." Kinda respect the manager here. But not cool. 4) Get a new room. Cool. Smaller and older than old one - but quiet(er). Until the A/C turns on and it's like a damn generator coming on. 5) 3 nights - no house keeping. I'm not being fancy. We just asked for trash to be removed and few more towels. Nope. Here's the bottom line - boutique doesn't have to mean old / chaotic/ lacking service. Wouldn't stay here again. read more

Reservations got screwed up with Expedia but got us in anyway. Helped get us going with local attractions. Room was nice and roomy.

It is a pretty good place with some flaws. The staff was super nice but when we first checked in the room had not been cleaned yet. When we told the front desk about this they said they would have that taken care of, cool.....except there was another guest standing there as we were talking and informed us that our room was originally their room and it was their trash and dirty towels but had changed rooms because the AC wasn't working. At first it didn't seem like the staff was going to do anything for us but we came up with a compromise. The hotel agreed to allow us to keep our stuff in the defective room and we would go explore the town and get lunch and wait until check out time and then the staff could see what they had to work with. In the end we got a slight upgrade and it wasn't an issue. Every thing else went well and was an overall good experience. I would come back again and try for a flawless stay. read more

Conveniently located, comfortable, and quiet. Service was good. Price was very reasonable. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. All the expected hotel comforts and conveniences were there, so no points off for the following: The decor. It was not offensive, but it was not cohesive. Our room had a chandelier (hanging between the bed and the desk) which is hung in an awkward spot and so low that my husband hit his head on it anytime he walked next to the bed. Okay, so that's actually inconvenient. The pictures on the wall in our room are not scaled for the room and one is hung too low and one is hung too high. Whoever designed the room missed some opportunities for using the wall space to enhance the room. The bathroom sink design was a poor attempt at modern industrial. The plumbing, including plumber's tape, should not be the thing one has to look at when sitting on the toilet. The real oddball design is the mix of small framed art on the multi story lobby walls. One cannot see the higher level art looking up from the lobby floor, but can see most of it if you climb the stairs. It's a disjointed mix of western, art deco, modern, and botanical art. It would be pretty cool if they stuck to one theme, but this missed the mark. It's rather like being a mouse looking up at a random collection of refrigerator magnets found at a flea market. And yet, the actual hotel qualities were so fine, I will still rate it 5 stars. read more

this is a reasonably priced, extremely well located hotel in Glenwood springs. stayed one night in September 2024. free street parking readily available. paid up for the room with the mountain view (totally worth it). Beds/showers, etc all comfortable (bathroom a bit small). walls a bit thin, so have to cross fingers you aren't near noisy guests. would definitely stay at this place again. hard to find nice lodging in Glenwood springs. read more

Very boutique hotel with that you expect some quirkiness. The hotel very much fits that vibe. The lobby was cool and was very much what one looks for in the boutique hotel. The rooms were smallish which in the boutique model is not unexpected. One side of the bed offered no power options at all which which is expected now regardless of hotel style. The bathroom was hard to maneuver as the toilet was small an very low and fairly compact room. The main thing I would share is DON'T waste your money on upgrading to a river view. We had 3 people saying in different rooms and the river view was very very minimal. We all had a primary view of the train station and if you looked out way to the right a sliver of a river view. Staff restaurant recommendations for dinner left a lot to be desired. I would say do your own research on that front as well. Overall a mostly pleasant experience as long as you understand the nature of boutique hotels. read more

We have stayed in this hotel quite a few times in the last 15 years and enjoyed it until this year. The Hotel Denver as it used to be called is now Maxwell Anderson. We got a king rm. which was very small and in the back of the hotel. Did we get a river view or mountain view you ask? No, we got a view of the hotel dumpsters and HVAC equipment. The room smelled like a wet dog. Also, for the first time, we were whacked for parking $20 a day! Nice lobby but we will be back at the Hotel Colorado again from now on. read more

For nearly $500 a night--having a functional and private bathroom door should be expected. The photo shows the large gap at the top after we finally got it closed. Cute decor and room set up--but we could hear literally everything through walls ceilings and the windows. Dogs running and barking above us regularly. Pretty disappointed. read more

We chose this hotel because it was close to the train station and walkable for downtown. We stayed 4 nights and the cost was substantial. It is a pretty, historic hotel but we had some issues. Noise was our greatest problem. This hotel allows dogs of all sizes. When I talked to the clerk about being awakened several time by a loud barking dog she just smiled and said ok. Nothing changed for 3 nights I was woken by that dog. The other issue is they must have had a plumbing or other type of problem above us so we heard all kinds of racket all day Christmas Day. It was disappointing since we came on this getaway to relax. :( read more

Cool place but I think the front desk guy might be a ghost. He only whispers and seems to do everything in slow motion. Marginally friendly ghost. read more

Rooms are dingy. Bed is cheap and very hard. NOISY. You won't sleep well here. Strong dog smell.

We love the tasteful, elegant, yet comfortable accommodation with the most helpful and welcoming staff! The lobby, the rooms, and the amenities were so fabulous that we stayed an extra day to enjoy all this hotel and cute, adjacent Main Street had to offer. read more

What a fantastic hotel. Really cute. Love the ambiance. Staff was super helpful. Front desk has discounted rates for glenwood hot springs, they directed us to the short hike to doc hollidays gravesite and to all the shops downtown. So happy we stopped here for the night. Wish we were able to open windows in room. read more

the people working at the hotel was very rude the room was not worth 2k tired asking for room service for the trash no one knew what i meant got removed because i didn't want to pay 300 dollars more for smoking in the room when i respectfully did not do i would never come back to this place worst hotel experience i've ever had read more

Very disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have been a faithful customer of Hotel Denver for years. This last week we stayed at Hotel Maxwell Anderson. It is not the same, customer service has dropped significantly. We stayed 4 nights in a King room. We came in on the train and our rooms were not ready. This was a first. We were given 2 towels per room and no one ever came to change them out. We had zero housekeeping, Monday- Friday. We were given only one tiny shampoo and one tiny conditioner and one tiny soap. We were given only 2 k-cup regular coffee pods for 4 mornings! When we checked in on Monday, there were 2 glass drinking glasses, and one of them had about an inch of water/ liquid in the glass. Disgusting! The throw blanket on the foot of our bed smelled like piss! I do enjoy the new King size beds, but it made the room super tight. We could barely move around the room, especially at night in the dark. On our last evening, the elevator was broke! Not even an apology from staff. The final straw was at checkout...I asked for a receipt and was told they couldn't give me one because it was a new system. So, you can take my credit card at check in but you can't give me a receipt? I was told to leave my email address and they could email me a receipt. 4 days later... still no receipt. I raved about this hotel and we brought family with this time in a second room. It was very disappointing to have all of this happen! I guess this will be our last visit. The cost has jumped and the service and quality has declined bigtime! read more
