RE: Stanley STEEMers: visiting the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park

in #colorado7 years ago

Looks spooky and fun. Do they still let people stay in room 217? Not sure I would...but then I'm a real chicken.
Thanks for sharing a really nice view of the inside of the hotel. Love the old decor on the stairs and lobby. Photographer's paradise.

Yes, you can stay in 217 but thanks to marketing and tourism they have divided the origional room into 2 suites! The hedgerow out front will grow to about 6 feet but they won't let it get taller because kids will get scared...lame. But understandable I guess.

Cash-based 'progress' and safety sure seem to push the world these days. Suppose a sometimes sad reality of whenst we live. Though some of the safety things HAVE come about to lead to a lot of good. "Seat belts, nah, I don't need 'em." Suppose there's always a balance to everything.
