FIRST- if you are thinking of this as a traditional “hotel,” you may be disappointed. This is more of a VRBO / AirBnB type rental place made up of several units. That is not to say it is a bad thing- the name hotel in the title is just a misnomer, in my opinion, regardless of it maybe being a “hotel” in the past. I stayed in the Buffalo Roam room.

Check in was easy, host was nice and responsive, and room was pretty clean with the exception of an item I brought to the host’s attention. I guess being an older building, the walls are fairly thin and I heard talking (to the point I honestly understood the conversation) coming from an adjacent room.

The little extras were thoughtful: k-cup coffee, complimentary snacks, and water bottles.

If you are staying in Centennial, your options are limited, but I would certainly stay here again!

Stopped in while day touring in the Snowy Range to eat lunch. Ownership has changed since our last visit last year, but we were very pleased with the menu offerings and especially the friendly service. We learned that the chef is really a classically-trained chef, justifiably proud of his craft. So do not expect a hamburger and fries. Rather expect a culinary treat, and take time to enjoy it.

This is an excellent historic hotel! The rooms are large, clean, and quiet with comfortable beds and pillows and scenic views of the Snowy Range Mountains. The owners, Mike and Kathleen, are onsite and operate a well run bed and breakfast inn. Mike is a professional chief and cooks the best omelettes I’ve ever had anywhere! He also roasts his own coffee beans for delicious coffee to go with the outstanding breakfast. We came back for a second night because this small B&B is so good and for the amazing breakfast.

I really wanted to like this place but there was a lot lacking. I booked it through a hotel booking website but I think it is now run as an Airbnb. My experience is based on a ground floor room on the front side of the building in the Buffalo Roam Queen Suite. Maybe another room would be better?

Cons:
1) A local family was using the front porch as their personal hangout spot after the coffee shop closed. We had the door and windows open because there was no AC in the room. The dad and kids were playing corn hole and yelling. Their unleashed dog came through our door and we had to kick it out.

2) The coffee shop was on the other side of the wall from our room. Very early AM we were awaken by really loud pounding like someone banging a meat cleaver on the table. When my husband asked the coffee shop to be a little more quiet they gave him a disgusted look. The banging went on all morning.

3) There is NO staff on site for the hotel. If you have problems tough luck.

4) Their is a tv in the room with no channels. If you want to watch something you need your own subscription to a streaming service.

5) There was a step to get up into the bathroom. Typically not a problem except when you are going to the bathroom at night. An easy way to fall on your face.

Pros:
1) The location was good

2) The price was ok

Cozy hotel with very friendly owners, we loved our conversations with Mike and enjoyed his delicious food, Kathleen served us the best coffee in the mountains, it has a great location to get to Snowy Range and walking distance to good restaurants in the evening. We visited with friends and enjoyed their dining area to hangout in the evening, once Mike realized we were there he even got us some hot tea and cookies. I assume it would be great to stay year round when they are open, it would be a lovely place to unwind in summer and fall as well. We are looking forward to staying there again as soon as we can.

Room Tip: All rooms seemed fine, maybe upper floor would be better as there was one room close to the kitchen.

We stayed in the Indian Paintbrush Suite. It was the most comfortable place we booked in three weeks of travel. The host has thought of every detail! Very spacious, well furnished rooms. Perfectly cleaned. This is the best location for visiting the Snowy Range, as it is close enough to drive in for an early morning hike to beat the crowds. Centennial does not offer much, but this hotel and cafe are worth a visit.

I like this place. It’s an older building, but updated. Charming room—no a/c but at 8000 ft a fan works fine. Clean, nice bed, nice bathroom. Beautiful setting. Attached cafe has coffee and pastries. Someone cares about this place, and it shows. No 2 inch gaps under the bathroom door, and the stopper in the sink works! (First tell that someone cares!). A little cheaper and a nicer room than the place across the street.

We always enjoy our annual stay at the Mountain View. The past few several years we have stayed in the Paintbrush Suite, which not only offers a comfortable king-sized bed but also a separate room with chair, couch and TV where we can hang out and read, talk, or take up our annual Scrabble challenge! Breakfast is the best you can find, and tbe coffee is awesome (we also bought some to take home)! The scenery right there in Centennial is great, and the Snowy Range is a short drive away. Kat and Mike are very welcoming--if you chose to book a stay here, you will be very glad you did!

We stayed for one night at MVH and enjoyed it. Actually it felt like staying at mom’s to be honest, very homey and comfortable. We stayed in the Indian Paintbrush suite that has a large sitting area. Very comfortable king bed, nice linens, blankets just the perfect weight, very quiet room upstairs. Heat controlled in the room so it didn’t get too stuffy. Everything was spotless. The owners have taken great care of the place and it shows. Will definitely stay in this quaint charming place again when in the area. Don’t miss the drive west on 130 to see the gorgeous mountains.

This Historic Hotel is absolutely charming! Mike and Kathleen are absolutely amazing hosts and owners. The bed was SOOO comfortable and everything was squeaky clean! Their homemade breakfast in the morning was out of this world and the coffee was delicious. Couldn't be happier with our weekend ski getaway in the mountains! Super close to Snowy Range Ski Area and tons of WY adventure :)

The double queen room, upstairs. When you make your reservation, it won't be confirmed until they call you back. You can ask Kathleen which from has the tub you are looking for.
