Loved staying at the Appenzell Inn. The room was super clean, had a kitchenette that had everything you needed to cook your own meals, the fireplace kept the room warm to where you didn't need the regular heater, and the staff running the check-in office were very friendly, efficient, and set up a great continental breakfast. The inn is just far away enough from Estes Park to have a peaceful stay. I highly recommend using this inn for any visits.

Great value, great location. 5 minutes drive to downtown, 15 minutes drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. Friendly staff. Free breakfast is a SKIP for me (I would rather eat at the McDonald nearby), but it's great that they at least offer. The facility is a bit old, but it's clean and quiet.

First time staying at this particular hotel in Estes and it was great. We ended up with a ground level room which was the only room on that floor in building C. What a treat! The rooms had recently been updated, but still had that lovely mountain vibe which is why you come to Estes in the first place. All in all the room was clean which is huge for me! There were a few dusty spots and the floors left my cozy socks a bit dirty, but the sheets and all the linens were pristine. All the staff we came into contact with were nothing short of exceptional and very friendly. The free continental breakfast was a nice and super convenient way to start our mornings. Lots of elk nearby too which was super cool! We would stay here again!

Our room was very clean and had lots of amenities. The jacuzzi tub was awesome and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pool was great. The only downside was the satellite TV stopped working, but we didn't come to Estes Park to watch TV.

It was more dated than I expected(shower), but clean. Plenty of towels etc..Very little interaction with staff. Left my keys on the desk at check out. Not sure of instructions. No one usually around to ask questions.

We had mixed feelings about this property so read to the end. Not sure why the ratings are so high. We did have a BASIC KING ROOM and I can see that many of the other configurations could work for families. The BASIC has a garden tub (w/shower) less than 2 feet from the bed. If there was a shower in a traditional bathroom configuration then maybe the garden tub would be a nice option. The HVAC unit was one foot from the bed, and it seemed to only work properly if the fan was in continual operation mode which was not ideal for sleeping. Overall things were in okay condition, but not good condition. The continental breakfast was a joke the first day we tried it, so we never went back. There is one "office/breakfast area" for both the Appenzell and the adjoining Estes Mountain Inn. Yet, there was only one employee who was somehow supposed to watch the desk and the so-called continental breakfast. When we got there at 8:30 there were no plates, bowls, beverage machine was out of order, which left some toast, dry cereal and not much more. The property was close to town. They did clean the room daily. They have places to relax around the property including a grilling/picnic area, terrace for relaxing, pools seemed clean, gas fire pit by the office, small snacks available in the office, and had smores available in the evening. If you are spending most of the day in RMNP then the property works but it should not get a 9+ rating, more like 7.5 to 8.0 at best.

Generally a very nice suite, and a good value for what we paid. It was a short visit, so we didn't use the kitchenette, but we had a nice stay. Continental breakfast was nothing to write home about, but nothing really wrong with it either. We would come back.
