Fairplay Hotels

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice the hotel was during our recent stay.

The Fairplay-Valiton was built in 1879 and is a great example of historic hotels in the West. The character of the old beauty -squeaky wooden floors, dark wood paneling, and period architectural features - was a treat. It is also officially haunted! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms clean. It's situated in the central part of town, so you can walk to South Park City (a restored 1880s town), numerous shops and restaurants. The hotel itself has a very good restaurant. There were things that I think should have been addressed: duct tape to hold a towel in the front door so it doesn't bang when closed, used soap left in our bathroom, mineral deposits on faucet/shower head, and mismatched towels. Kinda like being at home, but not what you expect in a hotel! None of these issues marred our stay, and we'd recommend it to those who appreciate the often quirky charms of old hotels.
