property was fine, room clean, pleasant staff. It was exremely overpriced. Probably due to it being peak season for fall color and bugling elk. I would stay here at a much lower price, but would not stay again at the price charged. Breakfast buffet was so so

The rooms were just okay. No extra security lock on the doors and the refrigerator was really noisy. The breakfast is a joke. Nothing cooked. Cereal and toast.

Honeymoon

We stayed here 2 nights while we traveled around Colorado for our honeymoon! Good price for last minute booking. Desk staff was nice, room was clean. Loved having 2 separate sinks. It wasn’t a problem for us but would note that if you have mobility issues they do not have elevators for second floor rooms. We didn’t eat the breakfast but looked like cereal and bagels available. Snacks and water refill station in office. We would stay here again!

Great place to stay with our dog! Beautiful views, cozy rooms. The bed was amazing! Staff was great, she helped us find a place to eat that was exactly what we were looking for. Sat right on a river with incredible views. Also had complementary s’mores. Highly recommend Hotel Estes!

Everything is good except for breakfast

Hailey the evening staff are very kind, friendly, warm & accommodating to our needs. I loved how they left 2 real ceramic cups in your room so you can microwave your drinks if need be. The room are neat & tidy, towels & soaps are plentiful. The only thing I don’t like are the breakfast choices. I guess it’s good enough for a snack but I won’t call it real breakfast.
