Great location close to Glenwood Springs

New Castle is a place we’ve never been to. A quiet place to escape after spending time in Glenwood Springs. We liked the Ore House Inn. Very unique with the themes to all the rooms. Plenty of things for the kids to do and appreciated having the Laundry facilities in house to catch up on laundry.

Great place!

Our stay really exceeded our expectations. John and Cori were both great and all of the staff at Elk Creek Mining. We were greeted with a smile, late at night for our check in by Johnny, who showed us around and made sure we were comfortable. Everything we could have needed was provided and extremely clean. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!

We had anouther very enjoyable stay the Oar house. The host John was easy to contact and very accommodating. We chose the Tombstone since it is one of the larger units, large kitchen & family room giving us plenty of room to relax. This is our go to when visting New Castle.Jeff & Barb

Lots of space

There were three of us-parents and an adult "child," so it was really nice to have the privacy of a bedroom, which we gave to him, while we slept in the comfortable pull-out sofa in the living room. As we get up earlier than he does, we could make mild noise and he never heard us. There's a full kitchen too, and room for more people. We took a nice early morning walk on the backstreets, which we enjoyed.

dissapointed

steep stairs for carrying luggage up, sleeping arrangements were fair at best
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018
Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr, 2020
We were in constant contact with the guest about sleeping arrangements. There are 2 rollaway beds and 2 queen sleepers as well as the queen bed in the bedroom; we provided linens for the sleepers. Instead the guest decided to pull mattresses off of rollaway beds and sleep on the floor. While we are sorry sleeping arrangements were not as comfortable as they would have liked, we understand why, and the guest never contacted us with any questions after check in.

Photos are not accurate.

First, there is no restaurant/bar below the units. It is now a hair salon. Second, the photos f the Tombstone suite are not accurate. Main bedroom is different. This entire boutique rooms hotel is for sale. There is no hotel style security lock on any of the doors. We found the hallway door to the bedroom door unlocked.
Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 30 Sept, 2024
1. Our photos are ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE! The only thing different in the bedroom is the paint color on the wall! That unit was completely reappointed less than 1 year ago! 2. We are happy that you read our reviews (some of which mentioned our restaurant that we closed 2 years ago when we expanded our hotel); We are unhappy that you neglected to read our property description which does not mention a restaurant downstairs. 3. The (2)133 year old doors in our Tombstone Suite have both a key lock and A deadbolt! And the exterior doors to the upstairs portion of our hotel have electronic locks with a keypad! We again apologize that we left your bedroom door unlocked after my wife went in to inspect your room to make sure it was perfect! 4. We bought our building in 1999, completely renovated the downstairs and opened a very busy restaurant! in 2017 we took on the painstaking task of transforming the upstairs of our 125 year old building into a hotel and finished in December of 2022 after closing the restaurant we had operated for 23 years and transforming the downstairs portion into an 1100 sq foot suite and commercial space where our tenant Salon West operates. After a combined 70 years in the restaurant business and 5 years of converting our building into a hotel, we have decided it is time for us to transition out of this aspect of our lives. My wife and I still operate our hotel on a daily basis and plan to until the day perhaps comes when someone else would like to take over a project that has been 25 years in the making!

smell

the entire room smelled like bleach, we waited 45 minutes and ended up having to leave and book else where. the building was a lot more outdated than we anticipated and what the photos had shown. very unsettling experience.
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 9 Mar, 2023
We do use bleach in the bathroom and on the floors to disinfect them! The reason your room may have smelled a little strong is that you kept requesting an early check in and we had to scurry to accommodate your request having 7 rooms to clean at our property that day. The previous guest checked out at 11 and you requested a 1 p.m. check in! Our pictures and the "theme" of the room is "Tombstone" and is reflected throughout! The pictures taken are all of the room itself.

Not as advertised

The Tombstone suite was not as we had expected- the kitchen was vastly incomplete for basic cooking/eating, the 2 queen pull-out couches were hardly twin size and very uncomfortable, the whole place was not very clean/dusted/streak-free. Also to note, the property is very close to the railroad; the night we stayed a train went through at midnight and 6 am blowing it's horn. On the bright side John and his son were very quick to respond to needs/issues, and our kids thoroughly enjoyed playing hungry, hungry hippos. The building has fun historic character.

Having been in the hospitality business for 30 years, sometimes you can already tell when there is going be an issue with a customer that you can't seem to successfully manage no matter how well you prepare their stay. The fact that a queen bed, 2 rollaway beds and 2 sofa sleepers; As well as 12 towels 4 blankets and 8 pillows were used when they checked in at 6:30 p.m. after finishing their days activities and there were only 2 adults and 3 children booked tells us that they obviously had more people than were paid for. We are sorry they were unhappy with there stay and we called and explained how we were going to arrange sleeping arrangement earlier in the day and they didn't have a problem until they checked in and realized that there wasn't additional bedding for there additional guests.

Communication Lacking

Four people, one washcloth in the room. Text the owner who told me to find a housekeeper to ask for more ( I’m already undressed to shower) or he could leave some hanging on the door. Got home after a late evening and still no washcloths. Text again the next morning and finally got a knock on the door and got handed two, stiff what looked to be dishcloths. Ok for the price.

I sorry, you felt way, but I did text the housekeeper and asked her to hang them on your door; I did not ask you to find the housekeeper, I apologize that I did not follow up to make sure they were delivered, the washcloths I handed to you were brand new and that is why they were a bit stiff.
