The Stanley Hotel
In the depths of Colorado’s Estes Valley, sits a grand hotel with a history greater than the eye can see from first look. Freelan Oscar Stanley stumbled upon this magnificent site when suffering from consumption. Even though Freelan and his wife Flora were from an East Coast society, they were willing to try and live a life in the valley. They had a private home, but agreed it was too small if they wished to have parties or guests, so they compromised to build a hotel.

The now restored Stanley hotel has one-hundred and forty rooms, and a lodge next to it which is newer and less haunted but haunted nonetheless. Of these rooms, rooms 217, 401, 407, 418, and 428 are the most haunted rooms in the main hotel. The only room in the lodge that seems to be haunted is room 1302.
The costs of the room can vary from $119-$469 per night per person depending on which room and the season in which you are staying.
The hotel is known to be quite haunted though nobody knows exactly why. Some people think that guests enjoyed their stay so much that they decided to stay. Others say that the Stanley is built on quartz therefore the hotel holds a lot of energy from the past.
