I was disappointed. This hotel needs to be updated. The carpet was stained in numerous places, the microwave was broken, the air coming out of the air conditioner was musty & not even a hook to hang up your wet towels. The outdoor part was pleasant & and an easy walk into town.

Property is close to downtown and convenient. It was recently renovated, is well cared for, and clean. I would stay there again.

I had a good room. Plenty of space, bed was comfortable. I was right underneath the breakfast room/office, you could hear people walking around above there till it closed at 10. But otherwise was okay.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I was skeptical about staying here because it was one of the least expensive places in town. But when I got there, I realized that they had completely renovated the rooms. It had new carpet, a beautiful log bed, new fixtures, and so on. Comfy bed. Two big windows that had great views of the mountains and the golf course. And they added a touch was a balcony. I would go back.

Excelent location. Walking distance to visitor center and downtown. Nice and spacious room and bathroom. Amazing views. Female Elk and baby walked through the property while we were admiring the beautiful pond, full of geese, ducks and ducklings, on the property. It was amazing to witness the wildlife of the area so close.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

It has a good view of the mountains and is great for a golfer as there is a golf course right next door. The room was nice and spacious. The property is a short walk from the Estes Park welcome center and just 5 minutes away from The Stanley. Just a heads up, if you get a room with a fireplace, it's not a gas fireplace so you'll need to bring your own firewood. I highly recommend staying here.

We stayed in the family room, which was great for a family of four. We had a view of the pond and we saw geese, ducks, elk, and prairie dodgs. Very nice area. Walkable to town and to the Stanley hotel. They offered free breakfast but we ended up sleeping in the first morning and had to get on the road the next day so didn't try it. We would stay here again.
