Great location and the room was very clean and updated. Unfortunately, we upgraded to a room with a view of the lake and paid $100 to do so. When we checked in, they could not find our reservation. Thereafter, we were given room 222.Right across from the elevator and close to the check-in desk. At first we figured we would roll with it. Our nights sleep was very bad in that the coming and going of people and people right above us were very loud. We seek compensation for the $100 we paid. Thank you.

The hotel constantly tried to up-sale us on everything! Upon check-in we were immediately offered a room upgrade for an additional $80 per night, which we declined. However, the room we were assigned was extremely disappointing - it was a handicap room located in the basement directly across from the elevator and adjacent to the equipment room, fitness area and surrounded by active construction of rooms. The location was extremely loud and disruptive We returned to the front desk and requested a different room due to noise & location. We had to pay the upgrade of $80 per night despite the fact that our original room was not what we booked and was unreasonably situated. The new room was slightly larger, located in the basement level and the entire area was surrounded by ongoing CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION. We had to walk through active work zones to access our room. While the room was nice, the noise and construction environment detracted from the experience. We enjoyed the hotel's amenities including dinner, drinks and a couples massage at the spa. However, the room situation and the treatment by the front desk significantly impacted our overall experience. I respectfully requested a review of the additional charges applied to our stay that was caused by the hotel's room assignment, but was not given any response.

Our stay at Estes Park Lodge was nothing short of incredible. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Maxamillion, whose hospitality was truly over the top and set the tone for a wonderful visit. We stayed on the lower garden level, and to our delight, were greeted by an elk right outside our room—an unforgettable start to our mountain getaway! The location is ideal, just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, which we visited three times during our stay. One of the standout experiences was the food. The on-site restaurant is a true gem. As a scratch kitchen, everything we had—from breakfast to lunch and dinner—was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Every meal exceeded our expectations. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for comfort, great food, and easy access to RMNP.

Beautiful hotel right on Estes Lake. The rooms were cozy with our own fireplace and the balcony lake view is worth the upgrade. The drinks, dinner and service at the Ember restaurant was amazing and everyone at the front desk was so welcome and friendly. We also enjoyed the little game room with all the different board games. We were bummed to learn there is no pool on site and told by the staff that Expedia needs to update their property details.
