The room was extremely clean, however without any carpet or rugs be prepared for a little chill until the heat can circulate. We had 3 members of our family and there was plenty of hot water for back to back showers. The walls are a little thin so we could hear other guests talking in the rooms next to us, but overall a good value for the price.

It was hot in the room and we couldn’t turn the heat down so I didn’t sleep with blankets on. Then around 6 am I got chilly and put the blanket on the bottom of bed on me. Not long after my lower stoma h started itching very bad and I felt something on me and knocked it off. My lower stomach is all red and bit and 2 hours later after we left it’s still red and itchy. I told the girl at the desk and brought 2 things that looked like some kind of bug or flea. The girl at the desk said they didn’t look like anything and maybe I was allergic to the detergent. If I was allergic to the detergent I would have been itchy all over. The girl was not very sympathetic at all.

Disorganized, unprofessional. Booked >2 wks in advance. When we arrived around 4:30PM, we were informed our room was not ready, but would be told when it was. We waited nearly an hour at the bar with no news, so we went back to the front desk where employee told us that our room was no longer available and that we would need to stay somewhere else (unlikely in Estes). I asked if they would make those accommodations for us, but was told no. I asked if they could contact their manager, but instead, I was given the manager's phone number and told to call them myself. Of course, the manager didn't answer. Expedia tried to reach out to the property but they also did not get anyone to answer for 40 minutes. Eventually, they got in touch with the property, and told us that the room would be available after all. It was nearly 8PM when we got back to the hotel. We were told we'd receive a $50 discount for the inconvenience, yet that hasn't happened (yet?). For breakfast we had a cinnamon roll, banana bread, a cup of tea, and a latte. $25. The atmosphere and location of this property is great. The room was clean. They had a fire pit and some free s'more ingredients. Side note: The bar/kitchen staff (Derrick I think), was more invested than the front desk. I think he was pulled to help clean several rooms for us and other guests who were in similar situations. He offered us food on the house (sadly we already had dinner). Nice guy. Overall, management is lacking.

Unfortunately the check in experience on Friday night really put a damper on our stay. We showed up with a four-year-old and a two-year-old, ready to settle in and get ready for the glow parade. Unfortunately, our room was not ready, and there was not really a proactive approach to finding out when it would be or if it would be which is not a great response when you are traveling with two little kids, do not know if you’re even going to have a room that night. We were unsure if we needed to drive home and waste our money on our dog boarding or if we were to stay and wait for our room. The front desk staff was clearly overwhelmed, even disappeared in the office for a while while the line grew and my frustrations grew. I feel like management should coach staff on dealing with these situations we were told the room was not ready because of housekeeping shortages and it was not ready until after 7 PM when guaranteed for 4 PM check-in. We were told to “just got have a long dinner” and came back at 5:30 and there were still no updates. Room was finally ready after 7. I’m more upset that this was stressful on us and our kids and the staff didn’t seem to proactively try to handle the situation and was not very apologetic or empathetic.

We were casually (and uncomfortably, unprovoked) informed by the bartender that the property had been bought out and that was why they were pinching pennies around the property. Stairs/balconies were covered in bird droppings, amenities offered on website are no longer available, I could keep going on and on. Super underwhelming experience and will not stay there again
