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.

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!!!
