Top Lake Estes Hotel Reviews

Discovery Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location and rooms was recently renovated."

Appenzell Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of the amenities! Such a great place! I can’t wait to visit again!"

Blue Door Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good. Breakfast was good. Wish the coffee was strong ."

Expedition Lodge Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"The shower drain was a little slow, my only complaint."

The Stanley Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is old. It’s clean but just old. If you expect something modern, this isn’t the one. We liked the location, it’s easy to get to Rocky Mountains. The restaurants in the hotels are pricing. It’s probably better to go to the town for dinner."

Estes Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Estes Mountain Inn! A couple quick things- this is an older motel, so if you're used to the Ritz, check your expectations. Also, the breakfast is a continental breakfast, so don't expect culinary excellence. That said, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, the TV worked great, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the smores at night were a really fun touch! The location is good, easy walking access to Lake Estes, and a quick ride to downtown. We'd happily stay here again!"

Coyote Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely room with a balcony that was generously sized. The room was clean and the linens were soft and comfortable. Nice location, easy to find. Friendly staff. Would stay there again!"

Trailhead Lodge Rocky Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"I liked that our dog was very welcome,even by the construction supervisor John.Thank you"

Hotel Estes

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice and clean. The playground, hot tub, s’mores, and breakfast were great! My family takes yearly trips to Estes and this will definitely be our go to hotel from now on!"
