Pros:

Great location and fantastic room for the price. Had friends at other motels from our group and they all wish they had known about the Maxwell.

Cons:

Due to the size of the parking lot it may not be a bad idea to establish assigned parking spaces. I got back later one night and I had to park in the back of the property.

Enjoyed our stay
Pros:

New room on the river. Room with first class amenities. Breakfast included

No drawers to put clothes. Didn’t need a kitchen or handicap room. Had to cross road to use hot tub, get ice and go for breakfast.

Cozy small hotel, great location
Pros:

We spent a couple of nights at The Maxwell Inn while we explored Rocky Mountain National Park. The hotel was cozy and the room was extremely clean. The location was great, just a few moments beyond the busy downtown of Estes Park and perfectly placed for exploring the Park and surroundings. The only downsides were that the bathroom was extremely small and the breakfast was very basic and limited. Highly recommended!
