Location is great, short driving distance to the restaurants and to Rocky Mountain. Check-in was pretty fast, the room (especially bathroom) was very clean. We also had a great sleep at night, it was so quiet there! The only downside was breakfast. Only unhealthy options, nothing was delicious at all! Paying 200$ per night you usually expect better quality. Overall it was a good one night stay for us

Quality and cleanliness of the room was one of the worst I have seen. Poor lighting, ac unit was in living room and inadequate for the space and to cool the bedroom. Hair in the bathroom and bathtub. Felt dirty and no lighting in parking lot. According to the front desk, they have electrical issues and no other rooms with adequate lighting and AC were available. The room should not be rented out in this condition. Won’t ever go back.

Disappointed!
The floor in our room was discussing. It turned our socks black. Asked to make sure they cleaned it since we were staying another day and they did not! The breakfast was good but they failed to replace items in a timely fashion. Don't know that we would stay again.

Our room had to have been the most spic n span room I have ever stayed in thru all of my travels.If I had to critique something about the room itself it would be the TV. We could not get the t.v to stay on and we were too tired to fight with it. The hutch shouldnt be needed with a tv that small unless you sit the the tv on top of the hutch so both beds can watch it..its too small to view where its sitting now. What would be beneficial would be to get rid of the hutch . Get a bigger T.V and put the t.v on that same wall.

The room was smaller than what we usually get but at this time of the year we were lucky to still get a room. The room was very clean and we have been going to Blue Door Inn for a few years now. It is not walking distance to downtown Estes Park, but worth staying in and driving to a parking area. Estes Park is worth seeing in your lifetime!!!

No house keeping Monday which was fine. Every day after only made bed and put towels on bed. At one point did take clean bundle of towels out of bathroom along with dirty. Kept leaving tip envelope out. Garbages never emptied. There was a washcloth between bed and nightstand upon my arrival and it remained there the whole time.

Wonderful motel!
We got in late, after the office had closed. The key was left for us and when we got to the room, the curtain was open and the light was on. It was so welcoming after a long day on the road. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. This is an older motel but they have done a good job of keeping it up and current.

Accommodated a late check-in. Friendly, courteous staff. Clearly an older property that has been tastefully remodeled and updated. I had a simple, single (but suitable for a couple) accommodation that was clean, neat, and just what I needed for a business trip to Estes Park. The hand written thank you note from the housekeeping staff was a nice personal touch. Great independent lodging that sets itself apart from the ‘who cares anyway’ franchise hotels.
