Everything was very nice, clean and accommodating. Excellent staff! Enjoy the outside sitting areas. The kitchenette in the room was very helpful as well. We were there for two nights. We did feel that the fee for this the room was a little pricey. Would definitely stay again, if considered a lower rate. Thank you very much. It was a great stay!!!

We enjoy these “simple” properties where you can park by your door (easy luggage unload/load), super clean room, comfortable bed and actual friendly service. This place is just right.

This is a smaller, recently remodeled hotel. The rooms are on the smaller side, but this is Estes Park, you should be outside and not in your hotel room. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were kept clean. I would stay here again.

What a wonderful place! From our wonderful experience at check in, to the amazing sleep we had. This place is great! We stayed in the king fireplace room and it was very nice. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows, super clean and updated room and even a massage chair! The AC and ceiling fan kept us nice and cool all night. Very quiet area…we didn’t hear any noise from neighboring rooms or the street. We will definitely be back! Top notch!

Clean rooms Great service

We had a wonderful Stay at the Columbine Inn. This was the second time staying here. The service was great; the room was updated and clean. My only complaint was the mattress was a little uncomfortable (my husband said it wasn't that bad though) and I wish there was a full-length mirror, we went to a fancy dinner for our anniversary, and I wanted to make sure I looked nice but there was only the bathroom mirror above the sink.
