We have been here several times. Not so sure we will do it again. Given the price I wasn't thrilled by our accommodation - in the basement, with the only window looking out to dirt and the underside of the 1st floor decks. It was also very noisy and the person directly above us decided to walk around loudly from 5:30am. I was also told that there would only be room services (e.g. replacing stuff, making the bed etc.) on request. Not much parking close to the entrance. Restaurant food is still good but the music was super-loud and irritating (of course, I am not young!)

CO sensor went off in the room at 230 am. According to the front desk it’s a recurring problem for that room. Try going to sleep after the CO alarm goes off. Very polite but this should never happen.

Everything was amazing aside from the fact that our room did not have AC or even a fan that was functional so we had to leave the windows open. Which for the time of year was perfect but later in the summer will definitely be an issue.

I need to share that the exceptional staff listened when I happened to mention that our stay would be for our 5th wedding anniversary, and we found a wonderful cheesecake sampler plate in our room after checking in with a hand-written note. That was a very nice gesture and made us feel very welcome and appreciated. On the other side of that coin, I feel compelled to express my profound disappointment over the continental breakfast (which could hardly be called that). Providing a bowl of fruit - and not really fruit that one would associate with breakfast - along with tiny granola bars and less-than-appetizing muffins isn't what I expected from this resort. That kind of thing is usually reserved for a Best Western or a Motel 6 (and frankly, they do a better job of it than this resort did). I suggest the owners consider upping their game when it comes to this. While I understand it was a weekday and you don't want to put out all sorts of food, surely the staff can analyze how many people are staying on those days and put out something a little bit better/more appealing? All of that said, our stay was exemplary, and we will be returning in the future given that this resort has become our place to stay for our anniversary. Here's hoping they take these comments seriously and do better with their complimentary breakfast.

We loved this property. Beautiful. Clean. Close to the town of Estes, Rocky Mount Park, and Boulder only 40 min drive. Rooms are so nice, lots of storage space, fireplace in the room so relaxing. Mattresses are comfortable. The food at Embers (the onsite restaurant) is amazing. Muffins with the morning coffee are delicious. And amazing views in every direction. Staff friendly and extremely helpful. Loved every min.

The property itself is beautiful, however there absolutely 0 amenities available. There’s no breakfast, no coffee, not even hot water. Rooms are cleaned only if you ask. Staff was mediocre with their service. Barely anything around. There is an overpriced restaurant onsite.

The Resort is a great, convenient location for those looking to see spectacular views and to get into Rocky Mountain National Park. Downtown is great for strolling, grabbing a bite, and it’s easy to get to from The Resort. We enjoyed a drink and dessert after a long day of exploring in the restaurant taking in the sights across the lake. Very quiet in the off-season (beginning of April).

Sadly, there was heavy construction going on and we didnt get to enjoy our stay like we used too. We weren't told about it upon check in and placed right next to it. Asked to be moved, but still two doors away from it. When I asked the front desk, he said there was nothing they could do it about it. It was very disappointing, especially that we had looked forward to this for my sons Spring Break and so I splurged more to make it special and guarantee a clean, relaxing stay. I had reached out to the AGM and never heard back regarding my concerns.

We stayed on the lakeside and had the most fantastic views of the lake and mountains, including a breathtaking sunset. We dined in Ember restaurant 2 nights in a row and enjoyed the food, drinks, and view. Our days were spent hiking in the mountains and enjoying the National Park and the town of Estes. This will be a place we happily return to in the future.
