    Indoor pool with vague view of hot tub outside
    Sara N.

    Let me tell you. This place was amazing. The desk staff were really friendly and *bonus* the pool was open which is hard to find during covid. The rooms were spotless and the Murphy bed was really cool. The shower was huge too. The price was a little steep but it's tourist season and it's time to make money. I'm sure you're asking yourself if the stay was that great then why the 4 stars. I drive a Mazda 5 and they don't have a ton of clearance. I scraped every time I went in or out of the parking lot.

    I really enjoyed my room.

    I am so happy I found this place! I read reviews and decided to book it. I came for a wedding in Estes Park and this place is super affordable and nice. The staff is amazing and helpful. Breakfast in included, as well as s'mores in the evening. My room was very nice and comfy. Great location! About a mile from the downtown area and places like The Stanley Hotel. Easy to walk into town and there is also a shuttle stop right by the hotel (the Blue line) that will easily take you places too. I would definitely stay here again.

    This place is a little older, but it's where we stay every time we visit Estes Park. Rooms are clean and well equipped, most with great views. Nightly campfire and s'mores, although you may have to let the front desk know you are interested as if no one is there it isn't "automatic". Pool is clean and seldom crowded (we hit the pool with the kids 5 times in 4 nights and 4/5 we were the only ones there). They have grills built in to the desk which is nice if you want to save some $$$ and "eat in". 3 minutes drive in to town, and about 10 minutes to Rocky Mountain National entrance. The breakfast is continental, but decent. Free popcorn, movies to check out, and board games. This isn't a "5 star hotel" by any means, but assuming you aren't looking to stay in your room 24/7, it's awesome for what it is.

    This hotel is family friendly.  So family friendly that we left early at our own expense because management refused to enforce any noise or behavior rules prior to quiet hours at 10 pm. The family above us had three small children running, jumping, screaming, and presumably knocking over furniture, to the point that our walls were shaking, continuously between 5 and 730pm on our last night. We spoke to the family and the front desk to no resolution. They never came to our room to understand the disturbance, and never talked to the other guests to our knowledge.   We understand there's an amount of noise expected with hotel stays. Creaky floors and temper-tantrums happen.  But this was the equivalent of an upstairs neighbor moving, or as my spouse said, a Chuck E. Cheese above us. We were extremely offended that another paying party was given the privilege to be disrespectful to the point of making the unit unusable to us, when we were also paying customers.  The refusal of management to make any attempt at mitigation and privilege one paying customer over another was wildly unprofessional, particularly when we had been there two nights without any complaints, and according to management the offending party was on their first night. Due to booking through a 3rd party, we contacted them directly and they indicated hotel management would refund only 50% of the final night.  The real bummer here is every struggling small business we planned to visit on our final day lost all of those sales. Other cons: 1. Generally poorly insulated floors.  We had the same constant noise of someone running above us without the wall shaking throughout our 1st & 2nd nights.  We did not complain about the first two nights. The jetted tubs also create noise, and we heard conversations through the heating/cooling unit. 2. A pervasive strange smell in the back half of the room; sort of like dentist office smell and...mold? astringent? We changed sides of the bed and used scented bath products to try to cover it up.  3. Shakey covid protocols.  Masks were required and reception had a plexiglass shield. The continental breakfast had shared utensils, cups, and lids, creamer pumps/bottles, and the toaster smack in the middle of everything making it hard to nip in & out quickly.  They did have gloves and sanitizer available. 4. The "continental breakfast" is bagels,  yogurt, hardboiled eggs, cereal, and prepackaged pastries. Not a fresh fruit in sight at $140/night.  5. Parking.  We literally had to circle the property and wait for someone to leave the last afternoon. 6. Snow and ice. We were in an outdoor-opening room and there was only a very narrow strip of deck clear in front of the doors under a dripping overhang. No evidence of effort to shovel or salt at all. We both almost slipped repeatedly, and by the second day a substantial portion of the deck was ice. We sacrificed a bath towel to avoid falling on the super slick entry. The outside stairs to the room had only foot sized semi-clear spaces and were otherwise covered in snow or slush. It was also hard to see parking spaces leading to not enough spaces. We were both exhausted from poor sleep the 1st and 2nd night after waiting for the neighbors to be quiet.  Mattresses are extremely firm. High winds blew loudly through the fireplace chimney, the heating unit is noisy, and the base flame in the fireplace is very bright. The pros: 1. Linens and towels were clean and soft.  2. Bath & body works amenities are actually very good quality.  Front desk was courteous with extras. They also include bath salts for the jetted tubs.  3. The jetted tub was lovely and the thing we were most upset about not being able to enjoy our last night, especially since we paid extra for a room with one and specifically selected this property for their availability. 4. The mini-kitchen was impressive with full sets of cookware, dinnerware,  and cutlery plus a few appliances AND dishwasher. I did have reservations as to whether everything was sanitized between customers. 5. The room stayed warm, and there were extra blankets in the closet.  6. The property is walking distance to downtown in good weather, for adults (20-25 mins). Getting in and out of the icy, steep driveway on foot is a little treacherous. All in all,  best suited for large inconsiderate families and the deaf.  The suites lend themselves to small parties before 10p when rules don't apply, with the jetted tub, extra couch, and miniature bar complete with barstools. I only wish I was a big enough jerk, instead of an exhausted essential worker, to have exploited these loopholes and gotten my money's worth.  TL;DR Hotel management refused to deal with unreasonably disruptive patrons prior to quiet hours and also refused a full refund for ruined last night of stay. We left at our own expense.  20/10 absolutely never again.

The hotel is rich in history. Everywhere you look there is charm. We stayed in the "Cowboy Attic Suite". My mom immediately had an "experience". I heard a grandfather clock chime throughout our stay. I never saw one and forgot to ask where it was located. I love old clocks. My aunt had her own experience that woke her from her sleep. Everyone we encountered was nice and we appreciated the cander as we asked for their stories/experiences there. The bad....for what we paid, it was not worth it. The floor feels dirty. It is as though they have not thought to clean the carpets in quite some time. Under the bed is a nice layer of dust. The whole hotel could use a moist cloth and a good wipe down. The dust in the display cases throughout the hotel is obvious and off putting. We met Hannibal. Wish we would have booked the seance, but alas, we ran out of time. He was a hoot to talk to.

The entire outside of the hotel is torn up and under construction. There are very few parking spots available, and they are not reserved for hotel guests. We had to park at the Aspire Hotel and walk all of our luggage and belongings up to check in. We stayed in Room 215, which becomes extremely hot in warm weather because the sun sets directly on that side of the hotel (see photos provided). Since the hotel was built in 1909, there is no A/C. When we spoke with the front desk, we were told that once the sun set and temperatures dropped, opening the windows should cool the room down. Unfortunately, the room only cooled from 82 degrees to 79 degrees, and we could not sleep comfortably. Sunday morning, we requested a fan, and a box fan was delivered. Sunday night, the room finally cooled to 74 degrees -- but not until around 5 a.m. Paying $400 per night to be that uncomfortable was very disappointing. We recommend not staying at the hotel until construction is complete. If visiting during warmer months, make sure your room faces the front side of the hotel to avoid the intense afternoon and evening heat The bright spot of the stay was the staff at the restaurants and coffee shop, who were wonderful as always.

It's a beautiful setting, but several issues impacted my experience. First, I felt the advertising was a bit misleading. I saw a pool listed on Orbitz, but I discovered there isn't a pool anywhere on the property. Instead, there are two above-ground hot tubs. I went to the one on the second level, but I found climbing the narrow metal stairs with wet feet to be a bit dangerous. I also noticed that the rooms are slightly dated and showing their age. In my room, the curtain rod was actually falling out of the wall, which told me they need to keep up with better maintenance. You should also know there is no lobby or front desk here; I just received a code via text message and entered it to get into my room. While efficient, it felt a bit impersonal. My biggest complaint, however, was the construction noise. I didn't realize they are currently expanding the inn and building two new buildings on the same lot. Unfortunately, my room was right next to the construction site, and I had to deal with loud noise all morning. I think this place has a lot of potential once the upgrades are done, but between the maintenance issues and the noise, I didn't find it to be the relaxing getaway I was hoping for.

So leading up to our stay I stayed in contact with the front desk Katie, letting her know it's our anniversary weekend and she was the sweetest. When I say this lady went above and beyond and didn't have to, she did! When we arrived, first off there is only 12 rooms, and each room has an actual key!! This place is literally nestled on a side of a mountain w other little resort around. The check in process was so cute. Katie checked us in gave us some yummy cookies and I even bought a cute 4seasons inn sticker to put on my car. The room we booked was a private suite w a private spa grill and seating area. There is seating area by the grill and by the spa. And it's also on the 2nd floor just an fyi if you're wheel chair bound or whatever limitations you may have. So we go into our room and she literally decorated the whole room for us for our anniversary and had a bottle of wine w two wine glasses and fire wood already in our room for us to start a fire. The room was VERY spacious. Has a kitchen that worked a full coffee maker. A good size fridge and the freezer worked amazing. The toiletries that come w the room smell just fantasists. The best morning I woke up to wild turkeys on the ground just gobbling away and elk and deer. There is a community grills and a spa and a few other amenities. The thing I love about this place is it's literally less than 5 mins from the National park and far enough away to be secluded but 8 mins from EVERYTHING in town. And in Estes park there is so much cramed in that town! I LOVED everything. Not a thing was bad about my whole stay.
