    After searching around Estes Park for the best dog-friendly hotel option for a weekend getaway with my partner, I came across Silver Moon Inn, which will forevermore be my go-to in that adorable town. Super reasonable pet fee, unless most other hotels in Estes Park. Good amount of parking in the lot. Wonderful customer service during all parts of our stay. It's really the small details that made me excited to give this property 5 stars. We had sooo many towels. Body lotion. Magnifying mirror. Great quality TV. Two extra chairs. Comfy beds. And of course, fantastic continental breakfast. Seems minor, but there were other randomly thoughtful things I loved. I was impressed with this inn and look forward to visiting again!

    This is a 3 1/2 star review. Upon check-in, Sam was working the front desk and did not exude warm hospitality. Instead, he appeared to enjoy the sound of his own voice by talking ad nauseam about the parking lot procedure across the way. We stayed 4 nights on the 3rd floor where we enjoyed a wrap-around deck with our unit. Our views were the huge hillside boulder that was within arms reach from the deck. The property is located on the edge of town, on Fall River, away from the traffic, yet still within walking distance to all the shops downtown, and only 12-15 minutes from both the Fall River and Beaver Meadows entrances to RMNP. The continental breakfast is as continental as it gets. Heavily processed prepackaged pastries, processed yogurt, cereal, instant oatmeal, pop tarts, tomato juice orange and apple juice that comes from a dispenser, mass-produced bagels, bananas, apple, and hard boiled eggs. We were there for a total of 6 days and the offerings never changed. The beds were comfy but the air conditioning in the room would turn off during the night. There were 2 hot tubs and a swimming pool at the property. There are no lifeguards on duty and the pool is not maintained daily, so any bugs and leaves you'll have to skim on your own. Better to catch the pool when it's been freshly serviced. At night, there are fire pits and ziplock bags of soggy graham crackers, 2 marshmallows, and a piece of a Hersey bar to make s'mores with. On the 5th night we had to move to a 2nd floor unit and I didn't realize how good we had it. I could hear every step that our neighbors took and every cabinet/drawer opening and closing. If you can book a 3rd floor unit, there's more steps (no elevator) but definitely worth it. The true unsung heroes of the property, Chad and the entire housekeeping staff made our stay enjoyable and memorable. Chad moved all of our luggage and personal items to the new unit so all we had to do was turn the key and move right in. He was so gracious and personable that we wished we had interacted with him the entire duration of our stay. The housekeeping staff were so kind, always greeting us and checking to see if we needed anything else. The rooms were meticulously cleaned with plenty of towels provided. I'd recommend this property to anyone that's planning to visit RMNP or just someone that's coming in from out of town, looking to spend a long weekend.

    By far one of the most fun hotel stays I've ever had! Sam, our hotel clerk went out of his way for us and all of the guests gathering anything from firewood to s'mores to make our stay enjoyable! He even helped start the fires in the fire pits! The hotel is old but quaint; it the perfect down home, cozy feel you want during the winter months in Estes Park. The location along the stream with fire pits, chairs and swings makes it so you never have to leave the hotel to have a great time. There are no elevators but that shouldn't be held against this two story hotel, it's part of the history and mystique. There was ample free parking, great WiFi, a fridge, and microwave in the room. I will definitely be making a trip and staying here this summer!

    The best hotel I've ever stayed in. The moment I checked in , I instantly fell in love with the entire property. Location- closely located to Rocky Mountains national park. Few seconds walk to Estes Park downtown. Need groceries ? Safeway is only less than five minutes drive. Rooms- Don't let the older age of the property fool you. The owners obviously take pride in their property. Every piece of furniture, counter top etc all feel brand new because they meticulously maintain everything in there. No scratch no dents. Even the AC was sparkling clean , not a piece of dust. The larger fridge in the room was a plus for me because I wanted to stock up on fruits and cold cuts and Cold water.*** The beds were much more comfortable than any other five star hotel I've ever stayed in. Towels were clean and fluffy. *** Property amenities- there are multiple barbeque grills ( which were sparkling clean) located near the creek. Fire pit and swing set all throughout. S'mores available from 5-8pm nightly. How much better can this get? We never had to eat out. We drove to Safeway every day and just bought stuff to grill and enjoyed our meal by the Creek. Customer service- everyone that worked here had the best personality. Always smiling and willing to help. Especially the owner! Breakfast- continental breakfast provided every morning. While it was a simple breakfast, everything was fresh and delicious. Fruits, hard-boiled eggs, juices, coffee, tea , fresh bread and bagels and a huge assortment of spreads..and much more. Covid 19 precautionary- the hotel practices safe precaution by wearing mask + gloves while enforcing social distancing. Constantly cleaning. We felt safe throughout our stay. Overall, I would give this hotel a FIVE STAR rating based on the property conditions and the service I've received. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

    We loved our stay at the Silver Moon Inn. The location is beautiful and walkable to everything we wanted in Estes Park. Breakfast had good options for a continental and we looked forward to evening s'mores every night! This is not your standard chain hotel, we got to know the staff and felt very welcome and at home. The staff are so accommodating and really want people to enjoy their stay! If we had to comment about anything, it would be that our mattress was a bit softer than we like and we could definitely hear people moving around in the room above us. The rippling stream right outside the door made those minor inconvienences well worth it!

    We really enjoyed our stay here and Chad was very accommodating and friendly. I definitely consider this one of the best hotels in the business and this hotel is very pet friendly..especially with my shih tzu Socrates! This hotel has a very cozy atmosphere and is walking distance near all the tourist attractions and the shopping center. When I come back to Estes Park, I will be sure to come back to this cozy and friendly hotel.

    Wow! Our favorite stay on our 10 day family roadtrip through 7 states. thank you Silver Moon Inn for the wonderful and friendly service! The creek in front is beautiful and so relaxing & hearing the water running from our room. Loved our double queen, fireplace room right on the creek, #117 is an amazing room!! A dozen ELK came to play in the water and hung out on the grassy area next to our room. Great for families! We have 3 kids (7, 12, 15). Loved the fire pit out front, they provide firewood (build your own fire) and smores - nice touch! Felt "covid" safe with staff wearing masks, distancing in the Lobby and thank you for still offering a nice Breakfast unlike other hotels because of Covid. They had a toaster for bagels, waffles, toast, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, Vera etc... we'd love to come back!

    Local celebrity Sven walked up to the property to eat off of a favorite branch.

    We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for a stay in Estes Park. Pros - located close to downtown and highway access. Friendly and helpful staff always available in the office. My family loved Fall River running through the property, and my wife and I stayed up every night and drank wine by the fire pit by the river. There are always complimentary snacks in the lobby, as well as a s'more bar beginning late afternoon. The grounds are maintained well. There is a rock climbing wall and amphitheater on property. A special shout-out to employee Chad. His customer service is top-notch, and he "gets it" when it comes to customer service. He noticed that the local celebrity elk Sven had wandered onto property the first night of our stay, and ran across the property to show my kids the best spot to view him. You will see Chad working tirelessly all day. He always takes time to ask my family how our stay is going, and if we need anything. Thanks Chad! The only Con we encountered was the walk up to floor three. It didn't bother us, but other guests might want to stay on floors 1 & 2.

    See all

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.

    Obviously, from the recent reviews and absolutely no response from the management, this hotel…read moreestablishment does not value its guests. As everyone else has mentioned, the construction is a huge turn off! And absolutely no mention of it when you're booking your room. In addition, when I booked my room, I did not realize that I was booking it in the Aspire building. I thought that the Stanley hotel was one big hotel. I did not realize that there were different newer buildings. In the end, though, I am very happy that we are in the other building as what is being done at the original hotel is really offputting. The staff, however, were very nice and accommodating. Besides all of the construction, they have tours going on an hourly basis that are open to anyone who passes by, for a cost of $25+, of course and no discount for hotel guests. Those tourists who have not spent several hundred per night are all over the main lobby, dirtying up the carpet, wandering around the property with screaming kids, going up and down the stairwells, and elevator if it's running, just taking up space that should be reserved for guests!! Especially guests who are paying dearly for what they thought would be an old, elegant hotel experience. It is definitely not an elegant hotel anymore. It tries, a little, but is obviously too interested in making money off of tours rather than providing an exceptional experience for guests. I had envisioned myself sitting in that grand lobby reading a book with some tea. Impossible and wouldn't be pleasant if it was possible. Our room in the Aspire was nice, and the lobby, spa and gym facilities and the outdoor pool are very attractive and peaceful. But, again, some things just don't make sense. For instance, the lovely fireplace they have in the lobby is shut down at 8 PM when the desk agent goes home. I have been looking forward all day, to just sitting by that fireplace with a nice drink and reading my book. Seems like a normal expectation for a higher end hotel in the Colorado mountains. The pool area is nice, as is the steam room and gym. There are plenty of towels, tea and coffee and nice amenities. They need little tables out by the lounge chairs on the pool deck for people to set their drinks and things on instead of the ground. The beds, linens and pillows were great. There is no mini fridge in the room, no additional amenities in bathroom like Q tips, makeup remover wipes, etc... normal amenities offered in hotels of this price range and expected caliber. There is no full length mirror in the bedroom or in the bathroom and the mirror in the bathroom is so dimly lit it is impossible for a woman to see to put makeup on and no other mirror in the bedroom. They don't make up your room or refresh towels unless you specifically request it. I understand not changing out towels for ecological reasons, but when you are paying these kind of prices for a hotel room, someone should come in and make up your bed every day and tidy up and take the trash out. We're just one night in to our stay so we shall see how the rest goes. It has been pretty disappointing though.

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.

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.
