I had a good stay at this hotel. No complaints perfect for a few nights to see estes park. It was easy to find and check in was fast. Lots of parking and very walkable. When I got to my room it was a nice little room. The only thing that was off was the temperature. It was so hot in that room! Obviously I turned on the ac but it was an older one so it was very loud and the ac was fared away from the bed, so cold air didn’t really reach the bed. So it was very hot in my room the whole night so I just decided to leave the window open, which was extremely cold. The fridge was sometimes going off being a little loud at night but that didn’t bother me to much. I only slept there one night so it wasn’t as big as an issue. Besides that I had a nice view on the mountains and a nice little breakfast to start the day. Check out was easy as well.

The bed is super comfy, beautiful view! Room was nicely spacious. Little things to fix and update as they go along like furniture in the room, pretty wobbly, and tub handles/drain fixtures that need screwing on better. Nice to be able to open windows! Love frrsh air to sleep in. Very nice front desk person. Got a better rate thru expedia. Only reasonable place with a hottub in the room!
