Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place needs serious updates, wifi is terrible, tennis courts and area outside of hotel is not taken care of at all. The room wasn’t cleaned very well, good thing we got some cleaning supplies to clean. All the bedding was old and also the carpet, very musky smell. Our room had no fridge, microwave or extra towels. Definitely not worth the price for only 2 nights and you are at least 15mins from Estes Park, very nice drive but it’s very inconvenient if you are staying busy through out the day, especially if you need to go back to the hotel for something. I’m sorry but I will not be returning, mainly because they seem like they just don’t care and overcharge. Not worth it, specially if you have kids.

When i book at room, I will always check that it has WiFi as I am depending on this to work, so when I arrive at a hotel and am informed that the wifi is not working in the rooms, but I am free to use the lobby, it's bad. No amenities, no possibility for breakfast. Surroundings are beautiful.

The view of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park is spectacular! The lodge is old and gorgeous! No frills but very comfy. The staff were so nice and helpful! Having horseback riding right there is ultra convenient. We will stay there again!
