Great place to stay in Estes Park
Pros:

The Maxwell Inn is a great place to stay in Estes Park. Close enough to downtown but far enough away to be quiet and enjoy the surroundings. It is modern, clean, and comfortable.

Cons:

The continental breakfast is described as light and lives up to its billing, but I appreciate that it was included.

Great location, great owners.
Pros:

Very convenient location and a short walk to town. The red shuttle stops right in front of the Inn if you need it. The first night we had a climate control problem with the a/c and Dana was very responsive and was able to put another unit in for us. The room ( #2) was very clean and had everything we needed. Would stay here again.

Pros:

It is a very simple continental breakfast. Adding hard boiled eggs would be nice, also toast and toaster would be great instead of so many cereals.

Cons:
