Top Rated Trinidad CO Hotel
Most travelers pull off I-25 into Trinidad expecting just another pit stop between Denver and Santa Fe. They’re planning to grab some sleep, maybe a quick bite, and hit the road by sunrise. But one night at The Well often changes their plans. Step onto our Main Street, catch the sunset behind Fisher’s Peak, and suddenly their “quick overnight” turns into a weekend exploring the Purgatoire River trails, browsing art galleries, and discovering why Southern Colorado keeps calling them back.
What sets apart a great hotel in Trinidad CO that visitors actually remember: it’s never just about the room. It’s about place that puts you in the heart of everything, where you can walk to museums & art galleries and dining on Main St or never leave The Well & enjoy tasty Greek food or catch live music without ever moving your car. It’s about staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like every other chain hotel you’ve seen from Colorado Springs to Albuquerque.
The Well sits in a building that’s anchored this corner of Main Street since 1888, back when Trinidad was a bustling mining town full of fortune seekers and railroad workers. We’ve restored the original character: the high ceilings, the historic bones all while adding every modern amenity that makes a stay comfortable. This isn’t a corporate hotel project. It’s a husband-and-wife passion project born from genuine love for Trinidad’s quirky energy, thriving music & arts scene and the kind of mountain town where locals still wave hello on the sidewalk instead of fly in on their private jets.
Whether you’re coming for the Rad Dirt Fest, need a pet-friendly base camp for hiking adventures, or simply want a downtown Trinidad hotel that offers an actual experience instead of just a bed then this is for you.
Voted Trinidad's Best Hotel, & Best Karaoke Bar & Best Event Venue
The Well offers a true boutique hotel experience in the heart of downtown Trinidad. Every room in our historic building balances 1888 character with modern comfort with eclectic showers, historic character with modern amenities, comfortable beds, fast free WiFi, flat-screen TVs & free welcome drinks, just to name a few.
That signature Marshall Amp mini fridge adds personality to each room. Whether you’re waking up to Fisher’s Peak catching the morning light or watching the Simpson’s Rest glowing red sign, these mountain vistas make every stay memorable.
Self check-in technology lets you skip the front desk and head straight to your room, though our friendly staff is always available if you prefer a personal touch. This is lodging that offers an experience, not just a place to sleep.
Your dog shouldn’t have to miss out on Trinidad adventures. The Well welcomes pets in our historic boutique hotel, making us one of the few pet friendly hotel options in Trinidad CO.
After hiking the Purgatoire River trails or exploring Trinidad Lake State Park with your furry companion, return to a comfortable room where they’re genuinely welcome, not just tolerated.

The downtown location means easy walks along Main Street, and the walkable neighborhood gives dogs plenty of new sights and smells to explore.
