Really great property. Fantastic location, loads of parking, super helpful and friendly staff. They do smores in the evening and we got talking to some people which was lovely. Would return without hesitation. The restaurant was also very tasty.
Friendly staff, nice and clean room. But didn’t expect the extra fee on amenities when I was right checking in, I would prefer to be informed before I booked it

The staff was exemplary but the amenities need to be vastly improved. Need a bar of hand soap, no cups in the room and in room coffe was instant.
Excellent location - short walk to main shopping/restaurant area and river walk. Convenient access to room. Room was clean and comfy. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Room was spacious and clean. No wall decor or extra mirrors for large families. No microwave. Otherwise a nice stay.
Liked the pool, and other amenities. Liked the staff, who were always helpful.
Didn’t like street noise and loud voices outside our door in the early morning.
Not fancy but updated and clean. We liked being able to walk to downtown Estes Park for morning coffee and dinners. Comfortable beds and quiet at night. Convenient parking included. One negative was that the restaurant and bar was closed the 3 days of the week that we were there.
I've been to Estes many times, my first time here. I booked last minute and got lucky on such a Great place. Nice pool. Great location. Friendly staff. Clean room. Great for families. And food was surprisingly great. I wouldn't have expected food this good at a place like this, so glad I tried a new place. A great vibe start to finish and staff that really makes you feel welcome.
The lodge was very nice. The dinning and bar area was a plus, along with the outdoor area. Staff was all very nice and helpful. Only downside was the bathroom.
Loved the fire pit, and watching the elk herds. Room floors could've been cleaner. Bedding was clean. No hand soap in the bathroom. AC was already switched to heat for the season, so room was hot. Had to sleep with window open, which wasn't ideal because Highway 36 is right off the parking lot. Window screens were dirty/cob webs. Restaraunt was closed for a private event on the day we arrived, which was a bummer. The event took up parking for tenants.
Beautiful setting, friendly staff, great atmosphere! Highly recommend!

Pros- The location is great for walking into town and the lobby is modern and appealing. Very cool watching elk pass by from the patio.
Cons - The room smelt like an airplane bathroom and was not very clean. Has some modern updates but overall has a very old feel. Literally had someone walk into our room this morning while we were in there - would like to assume it was someone from the hotel staff with a key, but either way it made us very uncomfortable.

The location was good. The room was ok. The tub/ shower had a solid ring of grime around it. The walls are paper thin - I could hear a baby in one of the rooms next to us crying ALL night. We would not stay here again.
The location to downtown, shuttles to Rocky Mountain National Park, Stanley Hotel. Didn’t use car for the five days that we were there. General area with restaurant and bar was nice.
We enjoyed the stay and property. Bar and food on site. S’mores free between 6-9. Definitely would stay there again the town is walkable but we drove closer because we are just lazy.

The room smelled funny and the A/C did not work. Restaurant staff were awesome
Great property and close to everything you need. Used the bikes to go around Estes Lake by crossing the road. Wildlife was walking on the grounds too, deer come within ten feet while on the hammocks if you’re lucky! No complaints.
We booked a last minute weekend for the Fourth of July. Prices were a little steep but expected last minute.
Great location but even better staff here! Everyone was so friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. Truly top notch team.
Location is in walking distance of the lake, shops and restaurants on the creek and The Stanley. A/c in the room was good, beds comfy, we hung out in the lounge/lobby and at the fire pit. Our teens loved the hammocks and s’mores. We would definitely stay again.
The view from the property was very nice. Right across from the Stanley hotel. Out a/c unit was leaking and my sons headphone were on the dresser under the unit and got ruined, there was bird poop and pigeons outside out door and all over the staircase leading up to our room, and the bathtub and shower curtain liner were filthy. Mold and hard water stains on the liner. Can’t say we’d come back and stay with those variables. The did let us check in early and seemed to have s’mores between certain hours and bikes to ride free of charge while there. Just wasn’t our cup of tea. Thankfully it was only for one night. The staff was very friendly though.
