"The room was clean, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
The property has a vintage roadside motel feel that may bring back memories of family road trips and could be a good fit for travelers with children or those seeking nostalgia. For us, however, it wasn't the quiet retreat we were hoping for. The furnishings felt dated, and the mattress was marked 2012, although it was clean. With exterior-entry rooms, indoor outdoor carpet, wall unit A/C, creaky floors, and noise from the room above, and children playing in the pool by our window, we found it difficult to relax and recharge. Despite a quiet policy, the normal noises from other occupants felt disruptive due to thin walls and aging floors. We couldn't unwind there.
Given that this was one of the more expensive accommodations of our two week trip, we expected a more restful and quiet space.
We chose to leave early and absorb the cost in order to find a setting that better suited our needs away from Estes Park, as it appears to be the norm there. The staff was very nice and the property was clean. It simply wasn't the right fit is as travelers seeking rest.
That said, our impression may also reflect the area itself, which felt over crowded, busy and frantic during our visit. If you're looking for an active, nostalgic road-trip tourist atmosphere this may be a good choice. If your goal is to slow down, relax, and enjoy some quiet after a day in the National Park you may want to consider other options."
"The bed was comfy and the room was large. The view from the balcony was beautiful. The breakfast was very simple and the eating area was very small. The hot tub looked nice but we didn't use it. The room was very clean. The entrance is a little hard to get out of but they said they are working on that. I would stay again."
"I would stay here again. The staff is super friendly and incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast bar was exceptional and no issues with any amenities."
"Either mounted the headboard to wall or change it out slams the wall while sleeping. Fix the gap under front door to much cold air comes in. Flooring is buckled in places"
