Disappointing Stay at Old Tale Inn in Leadville
This is one “inn” that doesn’t live up to its name—or its price. As an experienced traveler (over 20 countries) I don’t often write hotel reviews, but my stay at the Old Tale Inn was so underwhelming that I feel compelled to share my experience to help others make an informed decision. Unfortunately, this so-called "Inn" fell far short of expectations and came across as both misleading and overpriced for what you get.
Misleading Advertising
First and foremost, this is not an inn or a hotel in any meaningful sense of the word. Calling it such borders on fraudulent. There was no staff presence during my stay—no front desk, no resident manager, no one to assist with even basic needs. The lack of human contact made the entire experience feel eerie and unwelcoming.
Poor Directions and Uninviting Exterior
The address provided was inaccurate, leading me to a dark, side street marked only by an old, defaced mailbox. The building’s exterior was painted a drab battleship grey, with no trim or signage to indicate it was a place of lodging. The parking lot, accessible via the main highway, was deserted, unlit, and added to the sense of abandonment. Arriving at night felt less like checking into an inn and more like stumbling upon an empty warehouse.
The room itself was stark and uninviting, reminiscent of a prison cell. Everything was grey, with minimal decoration to create any sense of warmth or comfort. The amenities were sad: a coffee pot with no coffee or mugs.
