Staff were professional, kind, and helpful. Room was spotless, comfy, and quiet. Recently renovated so very nice. Estes park shuttle stops a short walk away (approx every 30 minutes) making it easy to get downtown.

The office was not staffed until the 3:00 PM. There wasn’t a breakfast. The room was small and I couldn’t figure out how to operate the AC. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable which is what I look for.

The staff was super friendly. The room was clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. There were deer and elk that would literally lay around under the trees out front of the inn. The only detractor is the walls are very thin, so sounds from the other rooms could be heard clearly. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at Columbine Inn. They probably have the best rates in Estes Park. Except for here, Dominos and McDonald’s, you will need to take quite a bit of extra money as everything is way overpriced.

Originally I would’ve thought pulling in to the hotel it was outdated but it fits perfect for the vibe of the Estes Park area! Our room was very clean, towels and linens were soft and comfortable.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was quiet, clean and well-stocked. I loved that there wasn't carpet in the room. I wish there was a pool, but otherwise I would recommend the Columbine and would stay there again.
