Thiis is a historic hotel in a National Historic District that generally preserves the physical appearance of an old mining town. This building has a plaque that indicates that it was built in 1882, and appears to have been upgraded the last time in about 1955. It is authentic but really shabby, and way over-priced considering that there are numerous... More

We were hesitant to try the Forest Queen because we thought it had a bar downstairs. But, the bar has been converted to a restaurant. Our hosts, Vic and Elke, treated us like royalty -- custom breakfast every morning, fresh flowers, a surprise dessert and pot of tea delivered to our room one night. They are the friendliest, most attentive... More

Honestly, if you're looking for a decent place to stay and a great experience to boot you can't beat The Forest Queen. The rooms here have been updated but the place retains an authentic Old West charm. My wife and I felt like we walked right into Deadwood. I assume if you're looking to be left alone you will be...

This hotel is historic, but has been updated. The rooms are exceptionally clean with great bedding and pillows! Small rooms, but fine if you'll be out during the day hiking or biking. Ask for ROOM #6! It is right on the river so you hear the sound of the creek all night long. Breakfast is delicious with crepes, omelets, and... More

Back away from the Forest Queen. Their website and associate on the phone tout its remodeled/updated rooms, with a quaint feel of the 1800's. True story~~ we made our reservations one month in advance. When we arrived, the bartender checked us in, couldn't find the keys and although cordial, was less than welcoming. We gathered our luggage, walked upstairs (the... More

The Forest Queen is a very old place, one of the first structures in Crested Butte dating back to the 1880's. It is the only hotel that is on that end of Elk ave., where all the action happens in town which gives somebody access to many bars, restaurants and places to shop. Down stairs to the hotel is a...
