I found the hotel to be quite average. While there were some positive aspects, like the clean rooms and accommodating staff, the overall experience was marred by several issues, such as a hidden resort fee and a lacklustre breakfast. The renovations might improve things, but as it stands, I feel there are better options available for the price.

Rooms

We had an incredible time staying here during Thanksgiving week with our family! The hotel was quiet, clean, and super affordable for that time of year. The breakfast was delicious and catered well to our needs. However, the experience varied greatly from our expectations of a luxury stay, but it delivered everything we needed for a perfect trip to Estes Park with the family.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, which was a plus. However, the overall condition of the hotel needs attention, and I encountered a few issues during my stay. The location is decent, especially if you want to visit the nearby national park, but there are definitely aspects that could be improved for a more pleasant experience.

My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the location was great, close to some nice spots, there were numerous issues with my stay that really took away from the overall enjoyment. The rooms felt outdated and poorly maintained, and the service was quite lacking, making it hard to recommend this place for a future visit.

Rooms
The rooms were in dire need of more thorough renovations. There were stains on the curtains and the transition between rooms was unfinished, leaving me feeling unimpressed. Rating: 4/10
Service
The service was lacking, especially during check-in. I felt uncomfortable not having my room door secured for an extended period, and requests for fixing issues seemed to be ignored. Rating: 3/10
Location
The hotel was conveniently located across from a popular pizzeria and close to the park, which was ideal for exploring the area. Rating: 8/10
Dining
The breakfast options were below expectations, as food was not kept warm and items ran out quickly. I definitely recommend seeking alternatives nearby. Rating: 5/10
Facilities
Facilities were underwhelming, with several amenities out of order. It felt like the hotel was in the midst of renovations that hadn't been properly completed. Rating: 4/10
