The staff were exceptionally courteous, and genuine in doing so. The views around the property were incredible and, in my opinion, undersold in what you get to see... Spectacular to see. The rooms themselves were exactly what I needed for my trip.

Mattress and pillows were not comfortable for my taste, too firm, also the old heating systems makes a lot of noise, the floor and the tub cracks and makes noise due to old age … Needs updating, plus you can hear neighbors slamming their door and walking due to old age of building… Besides that it was a lovely hotel with great location, you can see mountains in the background, the Elk is so close to Estes Park!!! So gave it 4stars
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024
Response from Murphy on 6 May 2024
Thank you for the 4/5 rating Marilize! We are always looking for ways to improve so guest input is always valued! We did just receive brand new mattresses in all our rooms, we aim for a medium firmness to try to accommodate all different preferences, we're sorry to hear they were too firm for you liking. We are an older property, like many in Estes but we work hard every off season to make as many updates that we can. We will certainly take extra note in the unit you stayed in to see what we can do to alleviate the issues mentioned. Again thank you for your review and feedback and safe travels to you and your family!

Thank you for the review, Jason! We are glad to see you enjoyed your stay and took advantage of the easy access to the lake and our free bike rentals. We offer a wide range of activities for our guests to enjoy. The property itself is an older property (which some say it adds to the charm) but we routine update the rooms and the property itself. We hope you enjoyed our new Posturepedic mattresses. Thank you again, Jason, for choosing to stay with us, we greatly appreciate it, and we sincerely hope to see you again in the future!

This place was amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and had great recommendations for dinner. The room was newly updated and one of the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. The hotel is not overly fancy but they have a nice outdoor pool and hot tub, and the view is incredible. They also have little things like free popcorn, hundreds of DVDs you can borrow, and bikes you can use in the summer. Breakfast was simple but good, with great coffee, and, again, attended by the friendly staff and kept very clean. They even let you use real coffee mugs. I highly recommend Murphy’s Resort and will definitely be staying here whenever I’m in Estes Park.

This place was great. It was relatively inexpensive but was still very nice. The views from the property are amazing the hot tub was awesome and the staff was super nice and helpful. The lobby has free fresh popcorns, movies, and coffee which was cool. The continental breakfast was lighter than I expected but still convenient that they had something. Overall would recommend and would come back.

Great views of the lake , good parking . Quaint room nice decor. The room was clean. It said it had toiletries, there was only lotions and a soap dispenser in the sink area.

I really liked that the lodge offered movies to borrow and popcorn to snack on. The room was clean and comfortable. The lodge was close to the lake and it was a nice stroll. I went during the winter and the lake was frozen, which was cool to see! The center was a very short drive or about a 30 minute walk.

My girlfriend and I went for one night as a pre-Valentines day getaway. The resort was pretty much empty. Our room was clean and the oversized tub was great. The hot tub was really nice, but needs some tile repair. Breakfast was on the light side of continental. Staff were friendly. We got 2 waters to go at checkout, and they taped candy bars to the water, cute.
