Not happy. My husband told the front desk I had limited mobility and walked with a cane. They put us on the 2nd floor with no access with an elevator. It was not only difficult but very painful for me to get to the room. The stairs and hallways are dirty. Rooms have LVP flooring which is better than dirty carpet. Rooms are ok but nothing special. We booked here because of picture on Travelocity but instead of the mountains, we mostly had a view of a metal warehouse. My biggest complaint is that they did not put us on 1st floor even after my husband explained the situation.

Really great hotel! They had lots of amenities, things to do and the view of the mountains from the hotel was fabulous. The best part of the hotel was the breakfast which they called "The Breakfast Experience" - it certainly was! The green chili with elk jerky was absolutely spectacular - highly recommend!!

Almost no water pressure, and those tiny towels that don't even go around your body. The refrigerator made terrible noises. The air conditioner was incredibly loud. The room wasn't super clean - at least remove the hair from the drain. Ewww. Breakfast was weird and disappointing. They may have Wi-Fi, but don't expect it to actually connect to the internet. We checked out after one night, but had paid for 3. Too bad they didn't work with us on a refund. Now they get an online review.

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.

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.
