The Hand Hotel was a wonderful place to spend the night. My boyfriend and I did some geocaching in the area and the only bummer to this experience is that we did not encounter a ghost.

Stayed 2 nights. The first night was not good, my room was very very hot(they do not have AC) and I barely slept. Maxine put me in a different room the next morning and it was so much better! All the staff was very pleasant and super accommodating.

The breakfast was very good and the staff were so inviting and friendly! This hotel has so much charm I would recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay in FairPlay. I’ve stayed here 3 times and every single time was enjoyable! Lots of books to read by the fire place on cold winter nights

We like older hotels with eccentric nostalgia . The bed was comfortable, we liked no TV, the old pictures, the stairs and creaking hall way. The view from the restaurant was outstanding as the breakfast sandwich. We enjoyed our stay and will stay again. If you want a pool and weight room etc go to Denver.

The room was great. Staff was great. Super quiet when we were there. What was the lobby was a fun spot to hang out in with games, couches, and a fire place - plus it was in a small store with fun clothes and other stuff for sale.
