Staff was awesome & super friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We love staying here a little ways away from the hustle and bustle of Main Streets.

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!

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.

Verified review

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!

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.

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!
Verified review

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.
