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.

The property was till undesome construction and there was some bad sheetrock work in one of our rooms, but overall the place was clean and staff was friendly. We were not a fan of the continental breakfast. Need to add normal breakfast hot food like eggs and bacon. Not just elk chilli for breakfast. Game room and pool were nice clean and fun. Would stay again.

The Expedition Lodge is very quirky and different, but in a good way! Definitely not a cookie cutter chain hotel...and you should like stairs, lol. The lodge seems to be built on a hill and there are several short sets of stairs in all directions from the lobby. There is an elevator that will bring you to some of the rooms, though. Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient, and provided suggestions on our RMNP itinerary. The lodge had THE MOST unique breakfast I've ever experienced where you could opt for breakfast or lunch-type options. They are renovating certain areas, too. We were very happy with our stay!

The trim on the bottom of the exterior door needs to be tacked up. The new upper patio is beautiful and will be amazing once it is completed.

Stayed for 4 nights in August of 2025. Room was very clean. Only gripe is that AC unit read dirty filter and shower was problematic. The shower temperature kept changing while I was showering-going from lukewarm to scorching hot. The showerhead was really low too. I'm 5'8" and hate to imagine what it would be like for someone who is actually tall. I was on the 1st floor and still had to navigate 10 steps to get to my room so that may be a challenge for someone with mobility issues. Most rooms are interior. There are a few that you can just park outside of. I did not use the free breakfast so I can't comment on that. I didn't use the indoor pool but it looked nice. The motel is located on the edge of town but still a short drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of the park. Next time I would stay somewhere where I could park outside of the door. There are so many places to choose from in Estes Park and many have that feature with hopefully a better shower.

Great value, close to town and the park entrance

Convenient, clean, with a breakfast option and friendly, knowledgeable staff. This time our room did smell like smoke, however, so we spent the first half day airing it out.
