Top Estes Park Hotel Reviews

Expedition Lodge Estes Park

8/10 Good

"Clean, comfortable rooms that were very convenient to RMNP and downtown Estes Park. Not the fanciest place, but it was fine and affordable. Enjoyed the free coffee and tea that was available 24 hours a day."

Blue Door Inn

8/10 Good

"We stayed 4 nights here. Our room was on the second floor. No elevator! The room was spacious and clean but could definitely use some remodeling. Our door lock on the inside was about to fall off the wall so my husband fixed it. Parking is very tight. We had our dog with us and it was $30 a night for her. It is a decent hotel but for the money I think it should be nicer."

Coyote Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Older, but well maintained property with a cool, vintage vibe. Convenient location and helpful staff. Bed was very comfortable and breakfast was good. Would definitely stay here again!"

Hotel Estes

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Good breakfast and trail snacks"

Estes Mountain Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff are very friendly and helpful. The property is on the older side. However it is clean and well maintained. The bed is on the firmer side. Our room did not have good lighting over by the TV. A lamp in that area would help."

Appenzell Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in every way. We were there for more than a week. The staff was very helpful and attentive. Nice room nice hot tub great staff great continental breakfast. Can’t recommend it highly enough."

Nicky's Resort

8/10 Good

"Rustic 2 bedroom cabin. It was clean. The bedrooms were comfortable. Bathroom adequate. Kitchen area was clean but poorly supplied example 1 cereal bowl, eating utensils were old and limited. Kitchen table scratched and had to be from the 1960's. Living area furniture was poor, the futon was so uncomfortable to sit on, can't image what it would be like to sleep on. The recliner chairs were so old the plastic on them crumbled on your clothes and on the floor. Despite this I would return, as the area was convenient and peaceful. Every morning a flock of turkeys would pass by. Also the restaurant is in walking distance from the cabin."

Dao House

8/10 Good

"We stayed for a couple nights while leaf-peeping in Estes Park. First, the good stuff. The lobby was certainly built to impress, with a huge 20 x 40 foot fireplace and big log construction. We stayed in the lodge. The rooms were adequate size, mattress was decent, and all was clean. I definitely recommend getting a room with a Long's Peak view, It was the best view of Long's Peak we've ever had (see photo), and we have stayed in Estes a lot. We had trouble opening the door to the outside deck - called down to the front desk and they were prompt and friendly taking care of it. The morning breakfast was coffee (which was fine) and grocery store muffins cut in half. Hot water was available and spring water for your water bottle. That's it. The property has lots of cabins which are pretty old looking. The dining hall/lounge was closed - it looked like permanently. Now the not so good - they advertise disconnecting to relax, and you must disconnect because the WiFi was so bad you could not even text message with it. Forget about an Internet web page with pictures on it. So if that's what you're expecting that's fine, but just know you won't be online there."

The Historic Crag's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem hidden among the hills above busy Estes Parks. The room was much more than what we expected. Weren’t able to enjoy the pool because of a short visit. Beautiful grounds. Breakfast was just so so…."
