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.

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:

See above

Enjoyed my stay in Estes Park at Maxwell InnBonus was final morning as packing car with group of Elk deciding to hangout
Pros:

Privately owned with owners involved.
They promptly responded to my email communication that I initiated several weeks prior to traveling. Parking available very close to room.

Bed comfortable. Room very adequate and what I expected as solo traveler.
Bathroom, counter, microwave / refrig area one of the few cleanest I have ever experienced.

Cons:

Breakfast truly is simple & basic but adequate to start the day; and actually fits right in with their Inn environment.
