This place was perfect for an over night before heading into RMNP. Not sure about the rest of the property, but our room had clearly been taken down to the studs and remodeled in the past few years. Clean, comfortable, stylish, and the perfect nights stay. This is a motel...meaning you pull your car right up to the door which is perfect to unload your gear right from trunk to room. Can't say enough great things about this place. Oh and the woman who checked us in was charming, helpful, and nice as can be. If in Estes Park again, we will stay here.

Comfortable, clean, and newly renovated

We were in Estes for a family reunion so we basically needed a place to sleep because we’d be busy during the day. The motel was super clean and had been recently completely renovated. I learned from the hostess at the front desk that the owners had basically gutted the entire motel and started over. The bed was comfy, the coffee in the Kcup machine was good, the water was hot, the shower was great and was nice and tall, the towels and sheets were good quality, I appreciated the liquid hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner that was available, the room had a fridge and microwave, I was happy to see the hair dryer and Kleenexes, and there was a wardrobe with an extra blanket and hangers along with a drawer. You could tell they had thought of all of the basic comforts a traveler would need—and this was just a plain, single room. The decor was a blend of minimalist modern and classic and not the kitsch mountain decor that’s often overwhelming in some places. Some of their other rooms offer even more amenities like a fireplace. The lobby had a water dispenser with hot and cold water that we utilized every day. They don’t have offer breakfast but Estes had a ton of food choices (including coffee shops, a crepe place, and a bagel store). Best of all, the check-in experience was simple even though we came into town late and the office had closed. And, when we had a chance to interact with the hostess, she was warm and friendly and a pleasure to get to know.
