We stayed for two night while visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park. A great choice. Family owed and operated. A smaller establishment but very accommodating, friendly, and informal. Rooms are small but very clean. The breakfast accommodation was great to start a day of sightseeing.

We stayed one night in Estes Park before hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park the next day. The hotel was very clean, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the location was perfect—close to restaurants, shops, and the entrance to the park. Our room was nicely decorated and looked newly remodeled, which made it feel fresh and inviting. The bathroom was a little on the small side, but it wasn't an issue for our one-night stay. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

Very recently remodeled so every thing is new and super clean. Able to park right in front of our door. Breakfast was well above average. A couple of us used the new hot tub—terrific. Room is a bit small and has only a Queen bed, but the newness and cleanliness offset that.
