PET FRIENDLY! The rooms do not even smell like pets are allowed. They are ai clean and the bed sheets are super clean. They make sure you are comfortable and if you are missing something they are super quick to helo you get it. They have a recreational room with a pool table sofas and books and movies to check out. We checked one out but then realized our room did not have a DVD player and the front desk was so quick to get one for our room. They also serve complimentary breakfast and throughout the day offer various snacks/activities Such as making smores. The young lady at the front desk, I cannot remember her name, but she was the sweetest. She had just moved ti Colorado, Estes Park to ve specific. Her advice and just overall attitude and kindness were amazing! You can tell she enjoys her job but enjoys conversation and giving her suggestions for things to do or places to eat near by. We will definitely visit Estes Park again! read more

Advertising they have a continental breakfast but it's not inside this hotel. You have to go across the parking lot to the adjacent hotel for it. Ridiculous!!!! We are paying $450.00 per night that's unexceptable.. A Keurig in the rooms would be nice too. Would also be nice if you could understand them. read more

We picked this lodge as the last time we were in RMNP we saw some kids playing out front in the play area with their dogs. It's a cute place, mountainy-decor vibes and the staff is really friendly. It looked like our bathroom and appliances were recently updated. We had a corner room and although we had a microwave and a refrigerator, it was located in the corner of the room in a way that the view form the beds was awkward (and the fridge door swung the wrong way). We stayed for 2 days and 1 night while we hiked at RMNP, with the RMNP entrance only 10-15 minutes away. There are fire pits to hang out, a small childrens play area, propane grills available and games for kids. My girls enjoyed the snacks and popcorn available in the lobby, with s'mores kits in the evening. The continental breakfast was decent enough to hold us while hiking. The pool was nice and especially the hot tub to soak in after a long day of hiking. We enjoyed our time here and would stay here again, although we would ask for a different room. read more

Very cute lodge! The rooms are super cute. We got a double queen bed room, and it's actually more like a suite with two single queen bedrooms, with a dividing wall, door and everything. Loved that idea, esp if you were go with family. Everyone has their privacy. The bed was decent. I prefer firm beds so I liked it. The lady at the front desk was very helpful. Breakfast was at the Appenzell Inn and included bagels, toast, prepackaged muffins, rolls, pop tarts, etc, as well as boiled egg, yogurt, fruit, cereal, juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. So decent spread. And very useful to carry with you into the park for the midday snack. On our last day, there were at least 2 herds of elk that roamed around on the road and around the lodge too. Very very cool to watch that! Overall really happy with my stay here and will definitely book this again in the future for a visit. read more

I have stayed here three times now, and it just keeps getting better. Very nice rooms, good prices, and a wonderful staff. Last September I wrote that a plain tea, like an English Breakfast, would be a nice addition to the choices, and this time, there it was! A small thing, but obviously the management reads and considers the reviews. Will definitely stay here again. read more

Came up here for a state gymnastics competition. This place was recommended by a friend and oh my goodness! This place is adorable! The manager was so friendly checking us in, explained all the things (complementary s'mores, breakfast, wifi, etc). I felt like I was stepping back in time a bit- it was amazing and refreshing. Totally has the small mountain town motel feel (maybe a little Hallmark Christmas movie feel ) while having updated rooms with new linens that are high quality, not your typical hotel grade comforter. Bath and Body Works soap/shampoo/conditioner too! We're bummed we're only staying one night! Will definitely stay here next time we're in Estes! read more

Very cute little inn, older but the rooms are updated. Comfortable bed and pillows. Perfect area outside to hang around a fire and let the dogs hang out. Propane grills available and games for kids. Popcorn in the lobby. Exactly what we needed for our visit to RMNP. friendly and accommodating staff. The walls are thin so you can hear everything in the rooms next door, and outside your room. The dogs liked that haha. Had a great stay. read more

Pleasantly surprised how nice a stay this was. We spent 2 nights and were very comfortable in our clean and cozy room. Housekeeping came each day which was nice. They had a nice fire pit out front for guests with s'mores for those who wanted some. Nice little snacks were left out for guests as well with hot coffee ready all day. Continental breakfast was included as well. read more

We loved our stay here! All of the staff were helpful and friendly, but special shout-out to the guy who checked us in (I wish I could remember his name but he was working on Friday eve 9/16) and he was so welcoming and friendly! Our room was clean, spacious, and inviting. We really enjoyed the campfires and s'mores, as well as the popcorn and snacks. The jacuzzi was awesome after a long day of hiking. We had everything we needed and the environment was so peaceful and beautiful. I almost felt like I was at summer camp. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Estes :) read more

My family visited the Rocky Mountain National Park during the last week of July 2023. First of all, it was an awesome trip! We stayed at Estes Mountain Lodge from 8/28 through 8/31. We were very pleased with everything we got at this place. The room was clean and spacious. Furnitures and beds in the room are comfortable. Before stepping into our room, we were greeted with beautiful cute colorful flowers in a garden container hanging on the window. Very thoughtful from the owner of this place! My family enjoyed the pools here very much! There are a big outdoor pool, an indoor pool, and a jacuzzi. We used the indoor pool & the jacuzzi. Breakfast here is included. My husband and I really loved the coffee here. We forgot to ask what kind/brand of coffee that they used. Waffles are the best here! Very fluffy and crunchy. There are many choices for breakfast, from boiled eggs to bagels and fruits. And the apples are fresh and very delicious! And especially, the breakfast room is not just for breakfast. You can come in in the afternoon and find foods and drinks still available to grab for snacks. In the evening, there are fire pits that you can enjoy the cool weather in the mountain, snacking with popcorns and some marshmallows while the sound of waterfall is in the background. A very lovely place! The lodge is just around 15 minutes to the Beaver Entrance. Very convenience to get around from here. Love this place! I would stay here again. Highly recommended! read more

We loved our stay at the Estes Mountain Lodge. From the outside, we had some trepidation -- but the renovations have made this lovely retro Lodge a place we will return to over and over. The staff was so cordial -- each person at the desk was nicer than the next. The manager was so helpful. The people who help getting one settled in your room were thoughtful and courteous and complied with each of our requests. The breakfast was good for us and coffee was supplied which is a big plus. We stayed in the recently renovated family suite, which easily accommodated five adults. Now, if you are a person who wants complete and total luxury, this might not be the place - but if you want a feel for Estes Park, a comfortable and immaculate room, I highly recommend! read more

This is a motor lodge built probably in the 50s. It has a lot of retro charm and ambiance. It has been remodeled in recent memory and so the furniture and bathroom are pleasant. The place is very clean, and the staff is helpful. The pool is cool and the hot tub is hot (almost too hot). The one criticism is the lack of working electrical outlets - the one in the bedside lamp was broken, and the fridge, etc. was using the only available one. We did not try the included breakfast. It's nicer on the inside than it looks on the outside (though the outside isn't anything to write home about, it is clean and welcoming). If you were to divide up the hotel offerings into three groups, luxury, middle, and cheaper offerings, I would put this at the very top of the cheaper offerings. read more

Very comfortable beds, clean and very friendly staff, breakfast was limited but good. Good access to the park and the shopping areas. The reason I give this rating was due to over the counter medicine and pain medicine missing from our room. I suggest taking all medicines with you if you leave for the day. read more

Let me start by giving you the positives: the location is great. Within walking distance of lake Estes and a 2 minutes drive to downtown, you could easily walk. The hotel is clean. Now for what I would consider negatives when you've paid $500+ for a 4 day stay. If you like a bed that's basically just a rock with a sheet on it, this is for you! Now what about a toilet lid that's held on by one screw? Or a bathroom without an outlet in it? How about a bathroom sink that doesn't drain as it should? This is FAR and away the least comfortable hotel I have ever stayed in in Estes Park. Never have I ever slept worse in my life. I have paid less plenty of times and had a much better room. We will not be back. read more

Great place about a 20 minute walk to downtown Estes. Very affordable. Rooms are clean and staff is very friendly. Would definitely recommend for a nice weekend trip. read more

Booked a room for 2 nights, we were there for a car event I was photographing. After our first night there, we woke up early the next morning and went to the event we had gone to Estes for. When we returned to our room later that afternoon, the cleaning staff was in our room and all of our stuff was gone! Everything, minus a dual charger I didn't realize until later, was missing!! We had hung the do not disturb sign up as we did not need it to be cleaned while we were there. We went to the front office where we were informed they scheduled a room change and had taken all of our belongings to another room! The room was not as nice as the first room, stains on the floors, fly's everywhere, and furniture pretty beat up. In essence, we felt like we had been down graded... There was no phone call to try to tell us they were moving our stuff, we were not informed and just showed up to everything being moved. I am a photographer, and luckily had taken my gear with me, but had we left just to grab a bite to eat or something, they would have moved some very expensive gear without permission. They touched our toothbrushes, they put our extra shoes in our reusable grocery bags, being used for food we had brought. They wouldn't let me go back into the room to get my dual port outlet charger, instead they gave me a single one to replace it. I have stayed here before and was pretty happy, but I could not believe what they had done during this stay. I guess make sure you will be in the same room for both nights stay, if you are staying more than one night!! read more

Uncomfortable beds and cold showers. I tried showering at different times if the day and each time was bad. I would never stay here again. Big mistake. read more

This is a great little spot close to everything! Close to downtown Estes Park, close to Rocky Mountain National Forrest, & super close to the Stanley Hotel! It's a quaint little lodge with walk up entrances so there's easy access to your car, which I love! Great view, nice people & cool little place. read more

Higher than some of the other neighboring hotels. Checkin was a breeze. View of mountains in front and back. CLEAN. Older hotel, but well maintained. Bathroom newly remodeled, shower nice, but water could be warmer. Very close to Lake Estes for fishing, etc. Quiet, but not far from downtown Estes Park. read more
