Service was friendly and room was quiet. I liked the reusable mugs at breakfast. Mattress was not very good and the bathroom floor was cracked.

The place was nice and kept clean, cable was nice. The only thing that felt inadequate was the continental breakfast. Which was more of a snack bar than it was a breakfast.

The first night the room only got to 60 degrees. The next morning the office person told me to use the portable space heater in the closet. Finally figured out how to use it and then we had heat. The property is very worn and in need of help. Would never stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The best part was the location - it was right along the river and just a few minutes walk to downtown. The room was nice and clean. The noise from other rooms/guests was pretty loud but thankfully the room had a box fan that helped to block out most of that. The hot tub was out of order the first night (and an indoor hot tub was a big factor in choosing to stay here) but they did have it ready for use the next day. It would've been nice to have a few more options at breakfast instead of all bread/carbs. But overall a great place and the staff/service was very nice!

The location is awesome with just a short walk to downtown. The facility is clean but could be better. This is a good place and was what we needed but was a little overpriced for what we got.

The pictures listed are really good…I didn’t realize this is a motel. You have to walk outside to get to breakfast area and pool. Didn’t bother going in pool or hot tub. Breakfast was prepackaged foods so not what I would consider continental (no protein). Staff was very nice and considerate. It’s fine if you just plan on sleeping there which is what you should be doing in Estes- spend time outside, it’s beautiful!

Check in was easy, front desk gal was friendly. Room was clean, beds were comfy. The hot tub was way too hot, but the pool was a nice temperature. Pool area was clean. The breakfast was a tad disappointing. Very generic options…oatmeal, toast, muffins and pre-packaged pastries. Not many options for those wanting something besides a carb overload. Overall, it was a comfortable stay for a very reasonable price.

Room was very nice and clean. Staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was relatively basic.

Amazing stay! I will forever make this our vacation spot when going to Estes park. Indoor heated pool AND hot tub. They have it looking so cute in there! The room was amazing! So clean cozy and felt like home. The continental breakfast was very nice as well. And staff was just so so sweet, welcoming and friendly ❤️
