The overall property is wonderful, but we were extremely disappointed in the customer service when the air conditioning was not working during our entire stay. We were promised a 20% discount if we kept our booking after we found out on our own without the hotel being forthcoming that air conditioning was broken. We were also assured that it would be fixed within two days of our five days day. We were promised several different things and none of them came through. The air conditioning was broken. The entire stay, and the hotel will not respond to our request for a refund from our Expedia booking.

Stayed July 28–August 1, 2025. Checked in to a room over 80°F—reaching 82°F the first night—even with thermostat set to 65. Reported immediately, but no maintenance available and no other rooms open. Front desk gave box fans and water but no real fix. We found out shortly after check-in that previous guests had tampered with the A/C, meaning the hotel knew about this issue well before our arrival but never disclosed it. Followed up multiple times; on July 31, finally told the A/C serving our room and nearby rooms was broken and wouldn’t be repaired during our stay. Staff said they'd been dealing with this all week but guests were never informed in advance. Recent reviews confirm this issue has been ongoing since beginning of July and earlier. Offered a 20% discount (still pending), no other compensation despite paying $200+ per night for a non-functional A/C. Communication was poor, with broken promises about maintenance and room changes. Room was also disappointing—shower had no door, causing water to flood the floor. Only perk was its walking distance location to downtown Estes Park. Would not recommend until these issues are fixed.

Stay else where.

The staff was hard to find for the front desk. The room was spacious but the bed was uncomfortable, the description for the pets is incorrect. Lots of weeks. Floors in the room were swept but not mopped. The walls are thin. They don’t have an area for pets to be off leash, don’t provide pet bowls. The outside had trash and other debris. The fire pit was nice but had nothing but weeds around the outside of the chairs. I would not stay here again.

This property was a freshly renovated older lodge/motel with new finishes. The finishes were sleek and efficient. It was somewhat clean. There were some small insects, in our bathroom window area. The bed was comfortable. A very social environment offering s’mores / fire pit in the evenings and areas to congregate. If you’re looking for deep rest, this probably isn’t the place for you. Noise was an issue at night, you could hear people walking around on the decking outside of the room, hear guests talking next door and many ambulance sirens due to the location. However, this is still a great option if you’re visiting Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park. The main areas of this hotel also had a very outdoorsy aesthetic.

Nice property overall, but the air conditioning did not work and when I called the front desk she said it was too late to adjust as it had to be done with all the rooms on the same floor?! Also our door was super loud and heavy - every time we opened or left it was make a ridiculous sound slamming.

I cannot believe how this establishment has such high reviews. Oh my god. I’ve been in my room for less than an hour and I can hear EVERY SINGLE MOVE the person above me is making. Every single step, their rolling suitcase, them going to the bathroom… literally *everything*. The girl at check in didn’t bother to tell me my room didn’t have any air when I checked in, and when I called to find out what was going on because I couldn’t figure out how to turn it on THEN she told me there was an issue and offered me a box fan. I’m paying over $400 to be here for less than 18 hours. This is beyond insane. I should’ve booked at the Holiday Inn. The fixtures are literally falling off the walls. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?!?!

The staff was amazing, however our room ac is inoperable and there was no maintenance person staffed to repair the problem. The front desk gal was amazing and did all she could to try to fix it but the temperature in our room was stifling so we had to pack up and move to another hotel at 8pm. Still waiting for a full refund…to be continued
