OK in Estes Park

Staff was helpful. The room was decent. Old, but in good condition. The exterior is in need of upgrading. The breakfast was minimal and the breakfast area was crowded since they don’t open until 7 am. Wi-Fi and tv channel options were very good.

The rooms were ok, but the outside property could use attention. The pool was green and murky. The balcony walkway was dangerous as the carpet was coming up causing a tripping hazard. The gravy was cold and my AC wasn’t working properly.

While the room was relatively clean the outside was really run down. There was outdoor carpet on the stairs and landings that were frayed and falling apart that posed a tripping hazard. The wood was rotted and needed repair.

Old, tired, worn out, facility. Should have been bulldozed 20 years ago. Opportunity for a big hotel to buy the land, demolish the motel and start over.
