Facility has some wear and tear but clean and well-maintained. Unique breakfast option of chili bar! Family friendly property with indoor pool and game room. We only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer.

The property was older and needs a little TLC, but our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room rates was good compared to many of the other hotels in the area and there was a nice view of Longs Peak. The breakfast menu had some nice changes from the standard hotel menu. If you are not from Colorado you may not understand the Elk Chile" tasted great". You can catch the Blue Shuttle across the street in front of the pizza restaurant. This will take you to the visitors center where you can catch the other free shuttles. This made it very convent to get around town and the surrounding area. The shuttles run approximately every 15 to 20 mins until the first of Nov. I believe. We would stay here again.

Definitely an older hotel and it shows in places. Carpet has stains all over. Could definitely use a deep clean. Front balcony is a great place to sit and look at the mountains while the sun goes. Beds are comfortable. But yeah, rooms show some age in places. The front desk staff is wonderful, both checking in and out. Great people.

The room was clean but the hallways smell terrible and the carpet is really dirty. The breakfast was not to our liking but they had some unusual choices. The location is good but probably would not stay here again.

This is probably the worst breakfast I have ever eaten. No bacon, eggs, biscuits - it’s deviled eggs, taco items- just stuff I would never serve customers in Estes Park, Colorado. The location is ok- about 2 miles of driving to shop in Estes. The customer rep. was wonderful and very helpful. Just a TERRBLE breakfast for a tourist.

Parking is extra! $10 a day. We didn’t realize it until check in. Free washer and dryer which was convenient. Breakfast was pretty good. The location was okay. There is a Target across the street but there is also a strip club. There were dishes in the dishwasher and the sink in the kitchen and bathtub drained extremely slow. The ac wouldn’t cool below 75 during the day.

Wondering stay!

The hotel was very clean, and the entire staff was very friendly and accommodating! When our room wasn’t cleaned one day, all we had to do was request for it to be cleaned the next morning, and it was done. The fire pits on the balcony were the best! Location was so convenient!

The pool was nice, despite copious amounts of sand and gravel on the deck. We were checked into a room that lacked a deadbolt, then kindly moved to a more secure room. There the hallway smelled of wet dog and the room somewhat so. The breakfast was confusing. The staff were extremely nice and understanding.

It’s a basic motel, not a resort. Breakfast was pretty good and the room was clean. Charging a resort fee for a motel is fraudulent.
