Good stay but hotel is further from town than I was led to believe. Fortunately there is a shuttle.
Pros:

The staff was excellent. I left my iPad in the room after checking out and driving to the airport. Within an hour I received a call from Nicki at the front desk letting me know I left it and how it can be returned through a special service.
I appreciate that the housekeeper turned in my lost item and the assistance from the front desk. Very professional and honest.

Cons:

beds so so
Didn't have a car so had to rely on the shuttle.

Pros:

Night staff receptionist stayed late to cover for the morning person.

Cons:

-All 4 pillows were way too big and too firm, which made them unusable for sleeping. It'd be nice if 2 were thinner.
-Lobby hours said it opened at 0700 for breakfast, but all lights were off and door was locked. There were about 5 people waiting and one called the number on the door. The night guy then came back to setup breakfast and open up (which was good on him), hopefully he got paid some OT. Not sure where the morning person was at. This only happened to me once, but someone in the group said it happened to them 2 nights before as well.

最低のサービス
Pros:

朝食は種類は少ないですがひとつひとつの質がよくコーヒーも美味しかったです。
NON　GMOのヨーグルト。
ミルク、オーツミルク、アーモンドミルクのチョイスがあったのもよかったです。

Cons:

写真で見て想像していたよりも小さく、質素でした。隣の部屋、上の階の音がうるさかったです。
部屋のテーブルはチェックインの時点で汚れており、自分で拭き直しました。
サービスについては疑問が大きいです。２泊したので、クリーニングは不要でリネンとタオルの交換だけするようにフロントに伝えました。スタッフが細かく希望を聞かれ、理解していた様子だったので安心していたのですが、部屋に戻ってみるとタオルのリネンの交換もされていませんでしたので、19時ごろ、タオル交換だけでもお願いできないかと夜のフロントスタッフに伝えると「ハウスキーピングルームがロックされておりできない」「わたしは聞いてない」という返答のみでした。結果汚れたタオルで２泊目を過ごしました。「マネージャーにこの件を報告し、何らかの返答をします」と言われ、電話番号を聞かれましたが、もう3日待っても電話もメールもありません。誠実さをまったく感じない対応にがっかりです。スタッフ同士の連携、伝達が成立していないようです。サービスの質に関しては最低レベルだと思います。

A beautiful and relaxing stay near downtown Estes Park.
Pros:

Located in such a great area, not far from downtown Estes Park but just far enough to be away from the busy tourist town. Free Bike rentals with my reservation and beautiful rooms.

Cons:

TV wifi was not yet set up so we could not stream our shows, and there was no microwave in our room. These are by no means deal breakers though.

Will pay more next time for a better stay… 😕
Pros:

Overall good area to stay in.

Cons:

I booked this hotel because I wanted to give it a chance despite all the reviews but it was not what I expected or hoping for. You have to go to other location to use the pool, bonfire area, restaurant. The bed had regular sheets instead of fitted sheets so it was uncomfortable to sleep on. They barely have any free breakfast options.

Overall a great stay in Estes Park!
Pros:

The breakfast was simple yogurt, granola and delicious muffins. The room was comfortable and we loved the patio/balcony. There were 2 minor issues with the room, but we were taken care of by Nicky, the morning manager.

Cons:

The neighbors were loud, but not duing sleeping hours. We had 2 amall issues with the room, but Nicky was very helpful!
