We loved our stay here! Couldn't ask for a better location for RMNP and for Estes Park exploring. The staff was friendly and there were a lot of perks--free breakfast, free water bottles, etc. The rooms and property are somewhat dated but we would highly recommend for anyone traveling to Estes Park!

Great stay

Located not far from town and having a great view of the mountains, this hotel was very satisfying to stay at. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast was not too bad, could have more variety than chili, cereal, deviled eggs, oatmeal, frozen waffles and bread. I always like having scrambled eggs and bacon when I’m on the road. Our room was on the first floor and had access to the parking lot from our room, which made it convenient to unload our luggage from the truck to the room. Along with another door to the hallway, it was a short walk to the main lobby. I did love they have an arcade in house and had a variety of games and board games. Highly recommend.
