I worked at the Stanley as my first job. I was a housekeeper when I was 15 years old. I guess it was 1989 or so and I worked for a summer. I’ve been in every room in there! I’m actually from Estes Park, so I’ve been there many times. The tunnel is actually where our break room was back in the day. Cool video, made for a lot of nostalgia.
I asked my daughter what she wanted to do for her 8th birthday. She said, “I want to stay at the haunted hotel”, so we stayed at the Stanley. We didn’t see any ghosts, but it was still really fun.
I lived in Estes Park 2001-2002, and worked at the Stanley. The hotel has changed drastically in 20 years! I actually did a massage for 2 sisters in room 217, very heavy energy in that room. I have some stories from that hotel, as my ex gf did tours there. F O Stanley's wife still enjoys playing the piano. That figure that you had mentioned, is said to be F O Stanley's wife standing at the top of the stairs greeting and watching guests. Word has it that Neil Young and Peter Gabriel stayed at the Stanley while playing Denver.
So happy you made it here! Went here in 2009 and took the ghost tour, touring the tunnels and the room 217…I caught a “ghost” on my digital camera moving down the staircase when nobody was on the stairs at the time, true story! Fantastically STUNNING hotel, Estes Park is the most beautiful city 🫶🏻
This is a place that I would love to visit in my lifetime. There aren't many, but this is one of them. Thank you so much for sharing some awesome visuals.
@@alexfonseca2063 Part of him is full but another part isn't. Just by the way he talks in some of his videos there is an empty part in his life. We all have it. In one of his birthday videos he says some very depressing things about how he feels like when his birthday or holidays come along. I can relate 100%
Dawn Higgins.. I totally agree with you. The place is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. I wouldn’t want to spoil the moment with a scary movie
That's so freaking cool they made the hedge maze..Fun Fact the exterior shots were filmed here in Oregon at Timberline Lodge! Great Jack impressions Woo 🤣🪓
The maze was filmed on the backlot of MGM Borehamwood Studios in England. The overhead shot of the maze was filmed in the parking lot of the Canterbury Building in Borehamwood, England, with a matte painting added. The maze at night was filmed on Stage 1 at Elstree Studios.
The only shots filmed at the Timberline Lodge were what they call second unit, where no actors were required to be there, but they actually filmed there in the winter where a heavy snowfall covered Mount Hood.
I happened to be there when they were filming the mini-series. While on vacation I was headed for the entrance of the Rocky Mountains National Park, and decided to stop to sightsee at the Stanley (being a fan of the novel). A guy stopped me at the bottom of the hill & made me shut off the car engine because they were shooting a scene outside in front of the hotel. It was the scene where Halloran talks with Danny at the swing set. After they finished the scene I was allowed to drive up, park, and walk around the whole property. I was able to take photos of various set pieces, including the mock section of roof that Jack is shown repairing.
Thanks for this, Adam! I never realized how close the Stanley is to the nearest town. I guess I just naively assumed it was truly remote, like in the movie. Very cool video!
This is so cool. You should see the clips of Ghost Hunters when they were there. I watched when they broadcasted live and Grant and Jason were in the Employee passageway and I heard a little girl say hello and laugh and it was LIVE. It was creepy. This place is 100% haunted. Have a great day, Mr. Adam. Stay safe and take care. Cool video as always.
I stayed at the Stanley in April 2007. One of my favorite vacations ever !!! Estes Park is such a great little town, bought my favorite necklace at one of the local artisan's shops, brings back great memories. Colorado overall is such a gorgeous state. I hope to get back there again soon. Again thank you so much for sharing Adam
Awesome video Adam! I got to stay there a couple yrs ago. Was a bucket list check off for me as The Shining is my favorite horror film. We stayed in 215 which was right next door to 217. So awesome!!
I kept hoping for a ghost to suddenly appear, standing down a hallway, turning toward you and quickly come flying at you with a wicked grin on its face!
Oh Wow! Absolutely love this video of the Stanley Hotel. Adam, you are the best in bringing the most interesting places to share. Thank you so much. You make your videos so much fun to watch! 👍
I'm so glad you got stay in the Stanley, a couple of years ago they were talking about turning it into a museum. I have been there several times and only got creeped out once in the room where the piano was. Really enjoying your Colorado videos as it is my stomping grounds Thanks Adam
I love that they made the hedge maze because when I found out the maze in the movie wasn't really on the property I was disappointed. I want to stay there someday , good video .
Just a tip you may already know. You can go into Rocky Mountain Nat Park at night and drive up to the pass. It’s the best view of the Galaxy I’ve ever had. You can see the Milky Way spread across the sky. Enjoying your tour of the west
Nice video and beautiful hotel. The miniseries is more faithful to the book, that's why King approved and promoted it..and even had his Hitchcockian cameo as the band leader. The mallet isn't a croquet mallet, it was a Roque mallet. Similar game but I believe a Roque mallet is larger. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
The Kubrick Shining is one of my fav thriller/horror films, while Dumb & Dumber one of my fav comedies. Great to see this location and all the extras. Thanks, Adam!
I always love your videos but this was exceptional. Your joy for the history of the hotel and the book, movie, miniseries really shone through. Such a beautiful place thanks for documenting in such an entertaining way.
I went to the Stanley Hotel once. We were sitting at the bar drinking and we heard what sounded like spooky ghost chanting. Turns out there was a Convention of Priests there singing! Sounded so creepy! Set the scene perfect.
@@filipohman7277 Cheers 🍻 from Denver, Colorado. In the mid 80’s we had a foreign exchange student from Helsinki that I became good friends with and he ate at Taco Bell 🔔 at least twice A day- saying it was the best thing he’s ever eaten lol. I’m sure he was the first person in line when Finland opened up Taco Bell’s

@@filipohman7277 Thanks bro! Still in shock about the Avalanche victory/ so happy!… Mark, the Helsinki guy approached me because I was a Punk Rocker and heard I was the guy to do hair, gave him a giant Mohawk and his guest family freaked out and called the school to get me in trouble! Should have never given him LSD because his life changed lol 😂
OK hear me out- would it be possible to get an Adam The Woo channel just going to alleged historic haunted locations??? Obsessed with this vlog. So awesome!!! Thank you Woo!!!
I live in Colorado. Estes park is about 45 minutes from me. We get up there in the summer and never leave without going through the Stanley! My girlfriend and I even road the elevator, we had a little tour from a girl that worked as a maid! Fun to watch you enjoy! Thank you Adam
Great experience watching this as you traverse around the areas where the "Ghosts" have been reported to frequent! Another awesome vlog! Thanks for bringing us along.
I just visited The Stanley Hotel today and did The Shining tour! Couldn’t help but think back to you doing this video a few months ago. I’m honored to say I’ve now stood in the same bathtub as Adam the Woo!
I read the book in 1978/79 and saw The Shining opening night in the theatres !! No one could scare me quite like Kubrick 😊Everyone talks about Hitchcock ( who was , of course , a genius ) but Kubrick was a master of slow moving scare and indelible images … which I love 😊❤️ This place is on my list of places to go and stay 😊
THANK YOU for this vlog Adam!! I am a huge Stephen King (and The Shining) fan!!! This was frickin’ incredible!! How awesome that you got to stay there!!!
My son and I just watched the 97 miniseries 2 nights ago after my sister returned my book with "Carrie", "'Salem's Lot" and "the Shining" after several years. It is very fresh in my mind. What a beautiful place.
Thanks Adam, one of the BEST tours of the Stanley I have seen to date. 🎬 I go to Estes Park frequently, and take my friends into the city itself to shop, eat, and see the mooses. I go to the Stanley at least twice per year, once in the spring and once in the fall/winter, snow providing. 👻You missed the Twin Owls (rock formation) that actually do look like twin owls. I do a lot of Christmas shopping in the city itself, they have cool shops. Estes Park is of my fav cities in Colorado, there's just a "vibe".
The Timberline Hotel by Mount Hood in Oregon is the exterior location for The Shining…..the book and the movie gave me some quality nightmares I do remember.
Really cool video Adam, hopefully tomorrow is the nighttime documentary, noticed there is a white speck on the far right side of frame wondering if lens is dirty. Thanks for all the great videos
The Stanley has the best porch seating with view. Love that place. We use to go to Estes Park a lot for vacation. Great video to wake up to. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Oh that’s awesome ! I took the tour when I was there last week and it was very interesting history of the hotel and the Stanley family ….I think Estes Park has been my favorite part of CO to visit ….hopefully Adam you visited the National Park as well while your in the area …FYI we ate at this place called I Need Pie next to Safeway in town and The Beef Stroganoff was awesome..my family had other things on the menu but my sister in law said it’s a must have when they visit …. The morning shake was also awesome it’s like a orange whip if anyone remembers those 😉 ❤️from TX
I’ve always wanted to stay at The Stanley Hotel. Estes Park in Colorado is just such a beautiful place. Besides being a Stephen King fan, I’m a Nicholson fan and I think Jack Torrence was one of his best performances. I remember when the Ghost Hunters went there to investigate. They got some great evidence in the employee tunnel in the basement. Very cool place, great video. Thanks Adam.
Probably one of my favorite videos on this channel! The Stanley Hotel is definitely on my bucket list as the shining is one of my all time favorite movies. If you ever catch yourself in Portland, Oregon check out the benson! Stayed there a few times and gives similar haunted/old school vibes. There are some ghost stories connected with that place too.
The light came on yet AGAIN at the very end lol...yes I remember watching the original "Shining" when I was a little boy...in my grandma's house...I was a Stephen King fan at an early age...but man does that mountain range in the back drop look AWESOME!...Would LOVE to visit in person one day! Bucket list!
Recently found your channel via baseball videos and I can’t say enough how much I love your energy. You make me so happy. You feel like a long time friend even though I just watch your videos.
Thanks for coming to our great state of Calirado! Your experience at Sewers field was unfortunate but do come back when the Rays are in town we can share a pint on the rooftop:)
Jeez, looking down that hallway is creepy... Whenever I hand out money I always do the Jim Carrey "There ya go" line. The staircase is pretty iconic from D&D too since that's where he raced Mary up the stairs and tackled her to win. Love that movie!
Adam, I must say, I was watching your food reviews from the beginning of the pandemic and you look so much more tone, epic work man. Keep it up :) I'm from orange county, ca and I worked in estes park for a summer job in 2017 down the street from The Stanley and this video was extremely nostalgic for me 🙂
Hey Adam, I'm guessing you're not going down to the southern part of the state like Colorado springs. But here's an idea since you are also a last crusade fan. The house that Indiana and his dad lived in when they were young and seen at the beginning of the film is now a bed and breakfast. There is also a really cool train you can take there. The town is called Antonito and it's on the Colorado New Mexico border. So something to think about for one day. Also if you want to have a good history lesson, I can share some fun information about places down here in Colorado springs. Hope you got to tour Estes park, and see the huge elk that hang around the area.
That's cool I didn't know that easier but did you know the intro scene where young indy finds treasure in a cave was filmed at Double Arch in Arches National Park?
I'm partial to the Kubrick version myself. The ax going through the door is way more scarier than a croquet mallet. Besides Shelly Duvall's portrayal was actually real. She was traumatized for years. And the ending was so fitting. Seeing Nicholson getting frozen in the snow, I wanted to tell him to "Just Chill!!"
On a whim a few years back me and a friend called and was able to book room 217 for the following weekend. Great stay! Been back to Estes Park many times since. Love it there.
I read The Shining before I saw the Kubrick version. It was a "Roque" mallet that Jack attacked Wendy with. Roque is a variation of Croquet. Great vid! I wish I could stay at the Stanley and the Timberline. I am not sure I would stay in any of the haunted rooms at the Stanley. LOL!👻👻
Awesome! I’ve stayed there probably over 30 times and only one night was terrifying, sounded like little kids playing in the hallway starting at around 1 am and continued all night. Just as I was falling asleep the blankets were pulled off of me. Didn’t get any sleep it had me so freaked out. There’s definitely an energy there even if you don’t have an experience
@TheDailyWoo Awesome day for you 🙏👍💖 Now welcome to Colorado. I'm so happy you left Denver. Estes park and Rky Mtn National Park is gorgeous. . God Bless !! You're the best! Corado as a whole is fabulous. When going through the mtns there were many really cool things you drove by and never mentioned. You stopped at Silver Plume but not Georgetown which had tons more mining history as well as movie history. While in Glenwood, just down the road a ways was Aspen absolutely gorgeous you left it out. Denver is a shadow of it's former self but you missed some really cool new areas they are developing. Old candy factory made into lofts with original mural on the side of building. The iron bridges were put in in the late 1980s and they relocated/reused the original old bridges but they aren't in original locations. The huge original Ice House advertisement on building down by Union Station. The old old Saddle Company ad on side of building going into downtown in 15th Street. I could go on for hours of what you missed. While at Red Rocks you didn't mention all of the rattle snakes up there as well as Dinosaur Ridge with real dinasuar tracks all over the side of the mountain. You short changed Colorado compared to other states attractions you have shown. I'm passionate about my state!! 6flags was originally Elitches but was relocated in the 1990s from 38th and Tennyson it's original location in the 1880s. The original Merry Go round house was left as part of a housing development. Old town North Denver. Colorado natives are trying to change the blueness of the state back to red. People downtown and surrounding areas are extremely RUDE! It didn't used to be this way. I'm so sorry. I love your channel Adam.
We stayed in room 428 (Cowboy Room) and the cowboy woke my sister up in the middle of the night to give her a kiss!!!! Also if you would’ve looked up the stairway to the “5th” floor it says REDRUM on the ceiling. We did the middle of the night ghost tour and I got my hair pulled and felt fingers wrap around my leg to the point where I screamed and ran by the maintenance man in the basement of the ballroom. We also saw Mrs Stanley’s spirit on the balcony of the ballroom.
I'm so happy you went to Estes Park. It is our favorite spots and the Stanley is definitely a must see and the views...aMAzing! Poppy's grill and pizza is highly recommended if you're still in town today.
Once again great vlog! Glad you had a good day after the not so great day yesterday. I am watching the Rays. They are playing the Yankees so fingers crossed they have a good night.
That was awesome. It must be a "funny" feeling standing in those corridors, in particular. I really enjoyed this, and your photo matches. terrific, Adam ❄️👏❄️🤠❄️👏❄️
As a Denver native that is one place I have not been and really need to go. My Mom retired to Salida and my in laws are in Buena Vista so we’re just constantly going up there. It’s in Florence?
ADAM!!! I'm so glad you made it to Estes Park. If you're still there, the museum is a good place to visit in Estes Park. I'll be there at the end of July. I always stay a night at the Stanley. Hope you enjoy your visit!
NICE 👍 Stanley Hotel vlog, Adam! Great job on grabbing the last room inside the main house! 😎 It’s such a stately, elegant place with an interesting history. Enjoyed your experience here. 36:32 you are the 👻 ghost!
I was a kid in the 70s and my parents would often drive to the Stanley from Colorado Springs for our "Sunday drives." We would have lunch in the restaurant and I was always thrilled when my parents ordered drinks, and I got to order a Shirley Temple and felt so grown up. Best Shirley Temples in the state lol
Great video Adam! Love seeing all historical scenes and locations. When we stayed at the Disney World Boardwalk Inn, our room was at the end of the very very long hallway which reminded us of the Shining. We created a quick little VLOG to capture the long hallway eeriness but nothing captures it like you did here in actual hallways. Thanks for such a great video and keep up all the good work! I doubt those ghost stay in one room... LOL.
The Shining is absolutely my favorite movie too! So very well written and acted! BTW Lamborghini does not have Gullwing doors. They're "scissor" doors. 😉
I worked at the Stanley as my first job. I was a housekeeper when I was 15 years old. I guess it was 1989 or so and I worked for a summer. I’ve been in every room in there! I’m actually from Estes Park, so I’ve been there many times. The tunnel is actually where our break room was back in the day. Cool video, made for a lot of nostalgia.
Did you know my best friend Julie Eckridge? She worked as a hostess in 88, 89
@@justenoughblooms Not that I remember, though it was 33 years ago now. It's starting to get hard to remember people's names from that long ago.
@@mattalki true. Good memories though. I was born and raised in Loveland
@@justenoughblooms I lived in Loveland for 16 years. We moved to Orlando in 2009, but my family is all still in Colorado. Small world!
Any sppokie stories?
I asked my daughter what she wanted to do for her 8th birthday. She said, “I want to stay at the haunted hotel”, so we stayed at the Stanley. We didn’t see any ghosts, but it was still really fun.
Happy fathers day to papa WOOO! and wow that opening shot of todays video, amazing! looks like a painting

Stephen King used this Hotal in his mini series for NBC.
Room was actually at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood in Oregon.
The room 217 was changed to 237 per the Lodge.

Did you watch Justin Scarred’s video on Timberline lodge that almost mirrors this one 😆

That view from the stanley is amazing. Such a nostalgic place
The music in the movie is what did it for me. It brought out the terror and that sense of being isolated.
This is a place that I would love to visit in my lifetime. There aren't many, but this is one of them. Thank you so much for sharing some awesome visuals.
I visited there in 2015, it was a dream come true for me.. looking forward to going back in the future.
For me, this is one of the best road trips I’ve seen on your channel. It has a bit of everything. Really enjoying it. Safe travels Adam.
Definitely. This trip gave me the spark to see the west. Utah was stunning
Thank you Adam for taking me there. I bet Daphne would have liked this place. I hope you had a great stay! ☮💛
This has been an epic road trip Adam! Thanks for bringing us along. I look forward to each days video.

He should do it with Josh and Carpetbagger for Halloween.

Probably one of my favorite videos on this channel! The Stanley Hotel is definitely on my bucket list as the shining is one of my all time favorite movies. If you ever catch yourself in Portland, Oregon check out the benson! Stayed there a few times and gives similar haunted/old school vibes. There are some ghost stories connected with that place too.
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
The light came on yet AGAIN at the very end lol...yes I remember watching the original "Shining" when I was a little boy...in my grandma's house...I was a Stephen King fan at an early age...but man does that mountain range in the back drop look AWESOME!...Would LOVE to visit in person one day! Bucket list!
So cool you got the room upgrade. Much deserved! Loved this and not even necessarily a Shining fan. Thanks!
Recently found your channel via baseball videos and I can’t say enough how much I love your energy. You make me so happy. You feel like a long time friend even though I just watch your videos.
Thanks for coming to our great state of Calirado! Your experience at Sewers field was unfortunate but do come back when the Rays are in town we can share a pint on the rooftop:)
For us who can’t travel I thank you for sharing these amazing places!!! You capture such detail and don’t rush through which is awesome!!
Jeez, looking down that hallway is creepy... Whenever I hand out money I always do the Jim Carrey "There ya go" line. The staircase is pretty iconic from D&D too since that's where he raced Mary up the stairs and tackled her to win. Love that movie!
Cool video you did. I love old hotels and buildings. I need to see this in person! The history of it wow. I am glad they were able to save it.
I left a comment on yesterdays video, saying you should check out the Stanley. So happy you had the same idea. Stay safe on your travels.
Adam, I must say, I was watching your food reviews from the beginning of the pandemic and you look so much more tone, epic work man. Keep it up :)
I'm from orange county, ca and I worked in estes park for a summer job in 2017 down the street from The Stanley and this video was extremely nostalgic for me 🙂
I always get that wendy darling quote said to me on my birthday lol 😆 loved this video it's one of my favourites 🖤
What an awesome experience. I am SUPER jealous! Thanks for sharing 💕
Hey Adam, I'm guessing you're not going down to the southern part of the state like Colorado springs. But here's an idea since you are also a last crusade fan. The house that Indiana and his dad lived in when they were young and seen at the beginning of the film is now a bed and breakfast. There is also a really cool train you can take there. The town is called Antonito and it's on the Colorado New Mexico border. So something to think about for one day.
Also if you want to have a good history lesson, I can share some fun information about places down here in Colorado springs.
Hope you got to tour Estes park, and see the huge elk that hang around the area.
Really….I didn’t know that.
That's cool I didn't know that easier but did you know the intro scene where young indy finds treasure in a cave was filmed at Double Arch in Arches National Park?
I'm partial to the Kubrick version myself. The ax going through the door is way more scarier than a croquet mallet. Besides Shelly Duvall's portrayal was actually real. She was traumatized for years. And the ending was so fitting. Seeing Nicholson getting frozen in the snow, I wanted to tell him to "Just Chill!!"
Agreed. It’s not even close , the Kubrick version is superior from a film standpoint
On a whim a few years back me and a friend called and was able to book room 217 for the following weekend. Great stay! Been back to Estes Park many times since. Love it there.
A very cool video with a lot of interesting history and of course movie history. Thanx for sharing Adam! cheers from Sweden!
So cool Adam! Hubby and I were there in September just touring the grounds. To spooky for me to even think about spending a night.
Love that you stood in the tub! Thanks for sharing!!🙂
It’s one of my favourite Stephen King movies and books. I love the recreation of the carpet in the lodge 😲
I read The Shining before I saw the Kubrick version. It was a "Roque" mallet that Jack attacked Wendy with. Roque is a variation of Croquet. Great vid! I wish I could stay at the Stanley and the Timberline. I am not sure I would stay in any of the haunted rooms at the Stanley. LOL!👻👻
Adam that mountain range looks awesome hotel looks spooky 👻❤️
Awesome! I’ve stayed there probably over 30 times and only one night was terrifying, sounded like little kids playing in the hallway starting at around 1 am and continued all night. Just as I was falling asleep the blankets were pulled off of me. Didn’t get any sleep it had me so freaked out. There’s definitely an energy there even if you don’t have an experience
Wow!
@TheDailyWoo Awesome day for you 🙏👍💖 Now welcome to Colorado. I'm so happy you left Denver. Estes park and Rky Mtn National Park is gorgeous. . God Bless !! You're the best!
Corado as a whole is fabulous. When going through the mtns there were many really cool things you drove by and never mentioned. You stopped at Silver Plume but not Georgetown which had tons more mining history as well as movie history. While in Glenwood, just down the road a ways was Aspen absolutely gorgeous you left it out.
Denver is a shadow of it's former self but you missed some really cool new areas they are developing. Old candy factory made into lofts with original mural on the side of building.
The iron bridges were put in in the late 1980s and they relocated/reused the original old bridges but they aren't in original locations. The huge original Ice House advertisement on building down by Union Station. The old old Saddle Company ad on side of building going into downtown in 15th Street. I could go on for hours of what you missed. While at Red Rocks you didn't mention all of the rattle snakes up there as well as Dinosaur Ridge with real dinasuar tracks all over the side of the mountain. You short changed Colorado compared to other states attractions you have shown. I'm passionate about my state!! 6flags was originally Elitches but was relocated in the 1990s from 38th and Tennyson it's original location in the 1880s. The original Merry Go round house was left as part of a housing development. Old town North Denver. Colorado natives are trying to change the blueness of the state back to red. People downtown and surrounding areas are extremely RUDE! It didn't used to be this way. I'm so sorry. I love your channel Adam.
Adam, really enjoyed your totally awesome and cool video! Thank you for taking me along with you! Beautiful Stanley hotel!
We stayed in room 428 (Cowboy Room) and the cowboy woke my sister up in the middle of the night to give her a kiss!!!! Also if you would’ve looked up the stairway to the “5th” floor it says REDRUM on the ceiling. We did the middle of the night ghost tour and I got my hair pulled and felt fingers wrap around my leg to the point where I screamed and ran by the maintenance man in the basement of the ballroom. We also saw Mrs Stanley’s spirit on the balcony of the ballroom.
I'm so happy you went to Estes Park. It is our favorite spots and the Stanley is definitely a must see and the views...aMAzing! Poppy's grill and pizza is highly recommended if you're still in town today.
Wow!! Super cool Vlog!
I was a huge King fan since I was a kid!
So great to see where this classic started! Thanks 😊👻
What a beautiful place! Great video! Book was the best! Kubrick’s was my favorite too.
Such a cool hotel! Loved the book, loved the Kubrick and TV versions. Very creepy hallways.
I vacationed at Estes Park in 2006 and 2009. Love the area! Ready to go back! We walked thru the Stanley Hotel. Beautiful hotel!
I can't believe they charge that much for a room with no AC and windows that don't open. Must suck in the height of summer.
How much was it? I missed it
Once again great vlog! Glad you had a good day after the not so great day yesterday. I am watching the Rays. They are playing the Yankees so fingers crossed they have a good night.
That was awesome. It must be a "funny" feeling standing in those corridors, in particular. I really enjoyed this, and your photo matches. terrific, Adam
❄️👏❄️🤠❄️👏❄️
I am so excited you are in Colorado! You should visit Bishop Castle. Right up your alley.
As a Denver native that is one place I have not been and really need to go. My Mom retired to Salida and my in laws are in Buena Vista so we’re just constantly going up there. It’s in Florence?
ADAM!!! I'm so glad you made it to Estes Park. If you're still there, the museum is a good place to visit in Estes Park. I'll be there at the end of July. I always stay a night at the Stanley. Hope you enjoy your visit!
NICE 👍 Stanley Hotel vlog, Adam! Great job on grabbing the last room inside the main house! 😎 It’s such a stately, elegant place with an interesting history. Enjoyed your experience here. 36:32 you are the 👻 ghost!
I was a kid in the 70s and my parents would often drive to the Stanley from Colorado Springs for our "Sunday drives." We would have lunch in the restaurant and I was always thrilled when my parents ordered drinks, and I got to order a Shirley Temple and felt so grown up. Best Shirley Temples in the state lol
How fun and exciting, really enjoyed this one!!! Thank you for taking us along😃
Great video Adam! Love seeing all historical scenes and locations. When we stayed at the Disney World Boardwalk Inn, our room was at the end of the very very long hallway which reminded us of the Shining. We created a quick little VLOG to capture the long hallway eeriness but nothing captures it like you did here in actual hallways. Thanks for such a great video and keep up all the good work! I doubt those ghost stay in one room... LOL.
The Stanley hotel has been on my bucket list and your video was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Wow! That they really embraced the Stephen King novel is awesome.
The Shining is absolutely my favorite movie too! So very well written and acted! BTW Lamborghini does not have Gullwing doors. They're "scissor" doors. 😉
