We found the Appenzell Inn to be very comfortable during our visit to Estes Park. The Inn is well located for walking to Lake Estes and the center of town. It was a bonus having a stop for the free trolley that started running July 1. While the property is not new, the room we stayed in was comfortable and had all the conveniences we needed during our stay. The staff is friendly and keep the property clean. Having grills and numerous outdoor places to relax throughout the property was a nice touch. We will stay here again.

We had the perfect view of the Rockies from our porch, we saw elk every day walking the grounds. We enjoyed family game nights from all the board games they offer. It truly was one of our best family trips and Appenzell was perfect for it! Will definitely book here again when we come back to Estes Park!! And my kids loved the nightly s’mores

Property was clean. It could use some modern updates. The continental breakfast was very limited and vague… it was all simple carbs. It would be nice if there were healthier options like fresh fruit daily, cheese, granola, dried fruit, and more protein options.

The rooms were very clean and had all the basics. Location was great very close to RMNP and food spots. The cleaners were very good and serviced our room everyday which was great. The place itself is very outdated and the bed was hard.

First the jacuzzi didn’t work, it turned out to be the ground fault circuit was thrown, second no room service on first full day. Then our key didn’t work after a long hot day out shopping and walking, even the master key didn’t work. New door lock assembly, all good. Third day key not working again, got it fixed. Nice place, nice employees and management and maintenance crew. But stuff happens and we had a great stay. I’d go back!

Super cute property and hotel. Feels more condo like. Lots of spacious sitting areas outside on balconies // couches, chairs. A few fire pits around. Feels very Swiss and welcoming. A short drive to the town and national parks. But a great place to come back to rest each night! Basic continental breakfast included.
