Surprisingly great value for the price.

Expedition Lodge was a pleasant surprise. I booked it because I needed a super cheap and quick option for the night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property was tidy and clean. There were fun touches with decorations. You could tell they did a lot with a little. The facility itself is aging, though the rooms were well kept. Good value for the price, and absolutely killer views. (Though that's the case everywhere in Estes Park ;-))

Great stay. The only thing we weren’t a huge fan of is the pool being advertised as a heated pool and it was said to be kept warm but the water was lukewarm . The window in the pool area was left open by staff both times we attempted to swim so the room for the pool was very cold as snow would blow in when the wind blew and the temperatures were freezing outside leaving the room for the pool very cold. Not comfortable for the kids or adults to enjoy the pool comfortably. This was the primary attraction my kids were looking forward to, but the water was far cooler than a normal heated pool and the room for the pool being kept very cold from the outside weather being let it, only allowing the kids 5-10 minutes of the pool time before being left cold and shivering .

Uncaring attitude

Hallways needed to be vacuumed. Other guests banging on walls and doors yelling at all hours. Front desk notified but the behavior continued. I realize it is the off-season for the hotel, but still treat the guests properly.

The hotel is in a nice location. Our room was hard to locate however and did not get assistance from the front desk. The shower was either scratching hot or Luke warm, finding a middle ground was a challenge.
