Front desk was very helpful and friendly. Had two rooms for me and a friend in her kids. Both of them were cute and clean. They allow animals for a small deposit.

Close to town, not too far from good hikes, and clean beds. The pack and play was pretty old and dirty, but most people won’t need that.

Picked this one based on reviews, Check in was quick and the Staff pleasant. My card was ran early on the day of check in, which was weird as I was supposed to pay upon check in. The parking lot had not been cleared but I was advised that there was someone coming. They did eventually show up but I think they just pushed the snow around. The lot in front of our room was never shoveled and it was at least 6in deep, we stayed a few days, the snow was still there when we left. The room was clean but out dated. The floor is in need of repairs. The room has a wall heater that didnt seem to heat the room very well. I had called the front to see what could be done and I was told if the room didnt heat in 30 mins I could be moved to another room, We just bundled up and eventually it warmed up. The smoke detector was missing. The bathroom was very small but clean. The water pressure was good and the water was hot. Would pass on this one next time around.

The location was great, but the breakfast was not as edible as we would have liked. Additionally, the room door didn't full close so the room did get colder than we would have liked. We did enjoy our stay, but we would probably like to see some upgrades and maybe they can swing for some good coffee.

Great little In for the money!

Here for one night during our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Check-in was easy and the room was spotless. It was probably one of the cleanest rooms I have ever stayed in. All of the little conveniences were included. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in the Estes Park area.

Really good value in Estes. Very clean room and quiet. Breakfast could use a little more variety it is very basic. I also saw dog waste not picked up so I could not walk my dog at night on the grassy area but the space is very nice.

Not a comfortable place

The room was cold. There’s a heater in the room but it blows very low heat where I have to wear a jacket to sleep. Check out is at 11AM, however the card key was disabled in the morning. Good thing I was still in the room when my friend went outside to put stuff in the car otherwise we would have to go to the office to get re-entry back into the room.

If you do not have a car this property is located a ways from town although walkable if you are in pretty good shape. 1.1 miles there is easy but back before dark can be challenging. Loved my econ stay! Spectacular views all ways. Bed was very comfy and bathroom vanity and shower heads appeared new, Hot and pressure. Folks were really nice around there. Breakfast was convenient and good.
