I needed to take a trip to Estes Park for an old friend’s destination wedding. The Expedition Lodge at Estes Park popped up at the top of Expedia’s list of recommended value hotels. There’s plenty of parking, a pool, covered deck with firepit, shop, game room, and continental breakfast. Staff is friendly and polite. They have plenty of suggestions for restaurants and activities in the area.

Expedition Lodge is truly a hidden gem in Estes Park! The staff were so friendly and helpful — especially Tim, who went above and beyond. The room was spotless, and the one-time pet fee (around $25–$30) was very reasonable. I was so happy with my stay and will definitely be back!
