Great property. Nice pool and hot tub. Even though they're outside, they're heated, so nice to go in, even in the cold and rain! S'mores and popcorn in the lobby, and staff was super nice and helpful. Room was good with a cabin vibe.

We had a wondeful 2 night stay at Hotel Estes. Complimentary s'mores and granola bars were a hit with the kids. Hot tub was great after a day of hiking in RMNP. Town is close by and lots of fun. Highly recommend!

Satisfactory stay

Overall the rooms were clean. We had a room with a kitchen. The floor was sticky and a mop with a dirty cover was available for me to clean it ( was faster than having to wait for service). Could hear some road noise due to location. If you’re on the first floor the people above you sound like elephants. Beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean and it was convenient to have the provided breakfast available. They also provided popcorn and s’mores in the afternoon. Great location for Rocky Mountain national park.

Great hotel!

A nice hotel, the only thing I must say, is that the lobby is much simpler than most hotels. However the rooms are nice comfortable, have a tub, mini fridge and microwave. It was a nice space for the price paid.

Besides being clean, it had a great view of the mountains. They offered a decent breakfast in the morning, popcorn in the afternoon and smores in the evening. It was close to both RMNP entrances and downtown Estes Park!

We requested and the staff gave us one of the few rooms that there are no steps to get in or out. That was great because we had quite a bit of luggage. It looks like a fabulous place for families with a pool and playground. There is a laundry facility too! There was a nice Mountain View from our room and I’m sure it’s better from the 2nd floor deck. Short drive to town and entrance to RMNP
