2015 marks the 27th anniversary of Always held over Labor Day weekend, this grand celebration features a variety of events, such as championship steer roping, old style bronc riding, and polo. The best part is that all the fun is right in front of you . . . no arena fences or barriers. Again this year Don King Days will be hosting World Championship Blacksmiths Horseshoeing Contest starting on Saturday, September 5, and continuing throughout the weekend.

Very warm welcome with friendly & helpful staff. The rooms were lovely; good bathroom with shower (Queen Victoria) & a large comfortable bed. The view was not brilliant. The breakfast was very basic at the moment but adequate. Worth staying there for the history & hidden gems.

Me and my father stayed here while on a business trip. Not only were they competitively priced, the inn itself is amazing. There's a charm unlike any other hotel I've been in. We were told they just renovated the rooms and it was certainly worth it. The rooms are beautiful and clean, and surprisingly quiet. I couldn't hear any traffic from outside. There was a connection available for a TV but no TV attached, which didn't bother me or my father, but it's something to be noted. The front desk attendant was friendly, and the continental breakfast was nice. We were told there was a falling out between the restaurant/bar (owner?) and the inn owner, so the restaurant was closed the night we were there, but it didn't bother us. We weren't planning on eating there anyways. The pictures around the hotel are fun to look at and show various stages of the inn's history, along with each room coming with information about Wyoming icons who have history with the inn. I highly recommend taking a bath in their claw-foot bathtubs. I had one when I was growing up and forgot just how nice they are. The only thing I think could make this nicer is glass water glasses, but that's only if they wanted to get REALLY fancy. I wouldn't recommend young children (under the age of 6). It's not that the hotel is bad for children, but rather the atmosphere and overall feel of the inn is probably boring (for them), unless the child is highly interested in history. We had a great stay and we highly recommend this place. I plan on coming back here when I go vacationing in Northern Wyoming.

Awesome restoration and modernization. Staff is very friendly and the place is spotless with so many great little places to hang out and enjoy. Do yourself a favor and ditch the cookie cutter hotel chains and stay in this one of a kind historic masterpiece. Short walk to everything downtown.

We stayed here for two nights just this past weekend for a bike race that was taking place in town. Everything about our stay was fabulous, the hotel was very easy to find, and nicely situated v close (1 block) from Main Street. The staff were incredibly helpful, telling us about the history of the hotel, storing our bikes, baking cookies (and extra when we missed them one night), and just generally being superb. The room was a great size and the bathroom was modern and comfortable! I'd definitely stay there again (Sheridan is a really marvelous place) and i'm going to be recommending this hotel to everyone! Thanks folks!
