The inn was clean and located very close to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. But the room we stayed in, Building C, is not ideal to have a quiet time. When we stayed at Appenzell Inn, the third floor was occupied and we could hear all the footsteps, door sliding, and loud conversations. Albeit all of that stopped at 10 PM/quiet time. My advice to future guests, if you decide to stay at this Inn, do not stay on Building C.

The internet was terrible in both our rooms. The check in lady staff member could have been more friendly and helpful. The hallway walls weren’t all marked. Having s’mores was much appreciated! The pool and room were wonderful. The rooms were clean and well-stocked. Overall, I would visit again. Thank you. 😊

Can’t thank Expedia enough for finding us this hotel after our initial one got canceled. Very large room with a whirlpool, just what we needed after our long drive. Location was good, could easily drive to the Stanley Inn and to hiking trails. Very clean and comfortable. Continental breakfast was mediocre. Would stay here again.

The room was clean and the fireplace was nice. The bed was pretty firm, they had a topper on it. But we got really warm because the topper multiplied our body heat so much. It was a great area though. There were elk in the yard/parking area one morning, which was really cool to see.

Asked for top floor and that wasn’t provided. Subsequently, the family upstairs had kids jumping off beds, running, adults stomping. Front desk closes at 8pm so no one to tell. You can hear everything in the rooms. We returned at 10:15 pm and there weren’t any parking spots in the whole place. Had to chance it and park at the hotel next door. The murphy bed was helpful as the room size is smaller than most. Hotel location is a positive.

Loved the property. The only downside was checking in at the motel next door and having to go to the motel next door for the complimentary breakfast. The exit drive is very limited and drops off immediately. Great stay overall!!!!
