The Stanley Hotel

8/10 Good

"parking staff were most helpful, the two interactions i had with the check in staff were also great. the stairs leading to second or i guess main floor of the hotel definitely need replaced- the tiles were falling apart. the bathrooms in the main hotel building on the lower floor were pretty dirty & a lot of the glass or plexiglass for the displays on history or decoration were looking rough making some of the history articles/ notes hard to read and harder to see so the visual impact felt like it was lacking due to that. the aspire building was well maintained and clean (other than a few random gnats) hoping next time i make the drive up to estes park construction will be near done & that kore areas in the main original stanley hotel will be open to public- having 3/4 of the rooms made for a slightly disappointing experience considering how much it costs to stay there. regardless, i took my mom here after talking about it for the last 10 years & we still had such a great time!"

Expedition Lodge Estes Park

8/10 Good

"Our stay was good overall. Donovan at the front desk was terrific! The property offered some fun things to do like the arcade and the lobby area was very nice. Our room could have used a little tidying. Looked like post remodel dust and splashes of something on the bathroom door were overlooked. Beds were comfortable and clean."

Hotel Estes

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second stay at this property and we really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Estes. The hotel is very conveniently located and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay: comfortable bed, quiet room, with all in room amenities including a magnifying mirror. They also offer s'mores, popcorn, games and snacks, and it's the little things that make a difference here."

The Estes Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful time at Estes Lake Park! The views were absolutely beautiful, and it was the perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and take in the mountains. 🏔️🌲 We also had a great meal at Ember — the food was delicious and made the experience even better. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with beautiful scenery, great food, and wonderful people. Definitely a place we would love to visit again! ❤️"

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our experience at The Inn on Fall River! The location was perfect, about 2 miles from the Fall River entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The Inn is a short drive to downtown Estes Park for shopping, dining and much more! The property was scenic and well maintained. Our suite was fabulous, including the two-sided fireplace! Not only would I stay there again, but we have already begun talking about returning during the same week next year!"
