Front desk receptionist was very nice. East check in. Quiet location and was affordable. Nice and convenient breakfast. Motel room had plenty of space and was actually really nice. Also loved the soft towels. The only thing I wish is they had the assigned parking to be able to park right outside your own rooms.

This place was great. Reasonably priced, but everything was first class. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Interior was upgraded but not in a cheap way. Very well done, professional, and well designed with a cool look. Locally owned, not some huge chain. Good deal.

This is the first review I have ever written, but I wanted to share our excellent stay. The motel looked like a hundred other mom and pop motels from the 50’s, but it has been completely renovated and we were very happy with our stay. We even had an elk stop by on our first night to welcome us!

Our stay at Columbine Inn was great! Extremely easy place to stay at if you're just staying in Estes Park or making the trek to RMNP. Our room was cleaned every day & the hot tub was a great addition.

Living in Colorado I have many family members who role through to visit our parks. This particular visit my family stayed in their RV and I needed a place to enjoy the visit with them. I highly recommend this place number one for the cleanliness and number two the updated place so close to the town and national park. I love the updated renovations and clean floors with no carpet. Was wonderful. I would stay her again in a heartbeat.

10/10 Exceptional

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at the Columbine Inn. We loved that it is located on the east side of Estes Park (near the lake) and away from the hustle and bustle of the city near Rocky Mountain NP. Many restaurants are located in close proximity. The Inn has been thoughtfully remodeled and updated. The staff—shout out to Shirley!—was great! Shirley was most helpful and super friendly and personable. She takes a great deal of pride in what she does—very dedicated to her guests. Breakfast was ample with lots of choices. The room was very quiet, very clean and a great hot shower! This is a wonderful place to stay for a stay in Estes Park and we loved supporting the mom and pop establishments and this was a great choice!

This is a well maintained property. Very clean, nice breakfast, and so helpful with questions about the area. Also so quiet - even though the parking lot was full. Great place to stay!

We stayed for two night while visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park. A great choice. Family owed and operated. A smaller establishment but very accommodating, friendly, and informal. Rooms are small but very clean. The breakfast accommodation was great to start a day of sightseeing.

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed one night in Estes Park before hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park the next day. The hotel was very clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the location was perfect—close to restaurants, shops, and the entrance to the park. Our room was nicely decorated and looked newly remodeled, which made it feel fresh and inviting. The bathroom was a little on the small side, but it wasn't an issue for our one-night stay. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.
