Nice place to stay
We had a good time in Estes Park and the hotel is in a good location. Its not a fancy hotel, but we didn't pay for a fancy one. The hotel was clean and quiet and i would stay there again. The elk that hang out at the property was cool too.

Can’t beat the location! Upon checking in, the staff seemed very disorganized and seemed to not really know what they were doing, so it took a while. I also asked for more coffee for the coffee maker in the room and the staff had no idea what I meant and had no clue where the find it. After checking in we went to the room which was great. We even saw some elk outside! My one other complaint is that there was only one option in the shower: a “3-in-1 shampoo conditioner and body wash”. This to me is unacceptable; they are 3 different products for 3 different purposes and should be offered as such, rather than trying to cut costs with a 3-in-1. Otherwise the amenities were great, beds were comfy, shower/tub worked well, hot tub was awesome, and location was incredible for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park!

Didn't live up to expectations
Although our room was clean, it was a very disappointing stay. Our room looked nothing like any of the pictures. It was very outdated and tired looking. Plus, the Continental breakfast was minimal at best.

Breakfast was very limited. Room was very clean. It's a sloped dirt lot for parking and hiking up to the office. Overall, I'd stay there again.
